None of the options were appealing.

EccentriciTea, because I like changing things in oddball ways to suit myself--including teas and tea things 8)

This morning, it's a blend of Dragon Well and Jasmine Pearl. I've got a new little glass teapot from Chinese Teapot Gallery. It's amazing to watch the tea liquor swirling out of the glass infuser into the surrounding water.

I went with mentaliTea, since I tend to be deep in thought when I brew/enjoy tea, however a big part of this is because I am not a multitasker. Disturb me when I am brewing, and I am brewtaliTea.

As mentioned by DW, began the TD with YM from O-Cha. I am still working on the parameters a bit ...

Den's Houryoku Shincha special edition. Very nice, slightly sweet and a hint of bitter in the background is giving it some snap.

Long Jing so far today.

PracticaliTEA for me, because I am the opposite of fancy!

This morning I made some Irish Breakfast, poured it into my travel mug, and it leaked out the bottom! :cry: I didn't have time to make more, and forgot to bring water for my kettle at work - so I am basically tea-less until I get home today. Grrrrr! :x

70's Wet-Stored leaves

by Salsero » Jun 15th, '09, 15:49

I went with BrewtaliTEA since it aptly characterizes my ham fisted brewing style.

The dry leaves of a kind gift from Aaron Fisher, aka We De, whose art work is on display in the artisans forum and whose beautiful tea magazine is accessible for free HERE.

It's all about mentaliTea, of course!

ScientificLea speaking, it's definitiveLea part of a socieTea and dedicated with posteriTea to those in younger generations with a certain level of sentimentaliTea.

[End TEAisms[


In my cup today: Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls from Teavana.

I went with VitaliTea since I drink so much tea that my life force must be saturated with it by now.

I am on the third steep of Fukamushi Sencha Supreme. It was one of those days where I just needed a cup of something green when I got home.
