Yup, my interests are pretty much up-to-date. Of course, the list could be easily 10 times longer, but I'm sure that could be the case with most of us.
I also refrained from saying TEAWARES TEAWARES TEAWARES, which is my worst attachment of all

"Tea and Japanese tea ceremony, incense, photography, badgers (Meles meles), and Buddhism. Not necessarily in that order."

The weather is finally warming up enough (at least not getting below freezing) that things are starting to bloom. Here are a couple of shots of our nectarine tree, so far the lone bloomer:
Today it's a bit windy and gloomy, and I only saw one bee buzzing around the blossoms. Soon the cherries (we have a mini-orchard of 40 trees) will bloom and when the bees are pollinating you can literally hear the buzzing!
Irish Breakfast in my cup this morning
Happy Easter!

Yep, filled in and up to date.
Joy, Peace, Love and Laughter...When I focus on these words, life is good.
Since it is Easter...I'll share a bit more...
My prayers tend to be redundant...much gratitude and then I pray for (myself and whoever else I'm praying for) grace, mercy, strength and guidance; and that these manifest as joy, peace, love, and laughter.
Today in my cup: Keemum Concerto from my Adagio sample. I tried this tea before and I didn't really enjoy it...today I made a whole pot (24 oz), drank most it it myself, and really enjoyed it. I must say I got a HUGE caffeine buzz from this tea.
Thanks for letting me share!
Hugs to all,
Dreamer

I haven't filled mine out yet, mainly because my interests would probably make some people say "WTH?" I mean... poppets? connective tissue? steampunk? Sure, dogs and tea and photography, yeah. Okay, I'll get to it.
This morning I have been enjoying some really wonderful mao feng, a much overlooked type for me. Turns out I like it MUCH more than silver needle (which I like,) and even just about as much as my favored bi luo chun.
Here's a shot from session start. I call it: An-ti-ci-paaaaaaaa-tion
(Why yes, that IS the famous dragon gaiwan in YELLOW! *GASP*)

How lucky are you!
Well my interests box its pretty updated with the main ones but I could add more..
"peachy" Feng Huang Dan Cong in my cup today ... it tastes like Spring
HAPPY EASTER!!
Ohhh yes, Asian culture, I like that Danibob, I must add that to mine as well. I have been drawn to Asian culture since I was a little girl. Fascinating how exposure to small things as a child can manifest itself in a big way in our future lives.danibob wrote:I just filled it in: Asian culture, tea, computers, reading, gymnastics, art. That's pretty much me in a nut shell.
Just had some ceylon. No tea for the rest of the day.. I have to go be with the fam for dinner. Good opportunity to clean my zoji anyway. Happy Easter!
In my cup this afternoon. White tea with rose. First Love from TeaCuppa.
Beautiful flowers on your tree Geeber!! Wow!

Saretta, we live in an agricultural area, so 40 trees is considered small a small orchard around here! If fact, the packing houses won't even send a crew out to pick our cherries because we don't have enough trees.

Oh BTW Geeber, I also have a serious interest in CHERRIES!!! Actually pretty serious about that.
Thanks for all those who have shared their interests with us so far ... and updated their profiles.
I had a shu pu-erh today, a good road tea, easy to brew and lasts all day. I just did not tell anyone it was shu or pu!!!
I seriously want another full throttle tea, but am thinking wiser of it. So, I will reach for lower caffeine kukicha for a mellow brew with my wife to end the TeaDay ... oh, and a few later steeps of the "road pu."

Had a quick cup of Yunnan Noir before rushing off to spend the afternoon with family. Now I'm back home and thinking of having something a little more leisurely. I see an oolong in my very near future...

Happy Easter everyone!
I just updated Interests in my profile. It won't allow many characters so I had to trim it.
Started the day with Upton's Spring Dragon, and I shared Hibiki-an's Pinnacle Sencha with my entire family before Easter dinner tonight. Everyone had seconds except my mother who kept twirling the cup around while making curious faces at the liquor, the funny thing is that she _really_ like gyokuro so why not this? My kid brother was taken in by the mystery of umami, that ``I don't know what this is but I really like it'' taste.

Chip, is your interest in eating them or as a design elementChip wrote:Oh BTW Geeber, I also have a serious interest in CHERRIES!!! Actually pretty serious about that.
I'll try to get some good shots of them when they bloom. Last year they were beautiful for a couple of days, then we got a windstorm and it blew most of the flowers off! If you like them for eating, I'll try to dry some this year and send them to you - there's nothing like authentic Oregon Cherries!
