Yes quite as long as a good koicha.

I have also some 99% but it is too much.

It's big, luscious and *pops* right out of the dark background.

Nothing fixes that like a nice shincha.

In the cup: Cold Brew Hibiki-an Farmer's Shincha.
Pentox, you volunteering to make me some tea and bring it over to me? Because I could totally use it! We had a storm here so we only have partial power in the church. Lovely.

Bonus, though, new Dell-guy came out and fixed my computer. The other guy installed the power bar wrong. :evil: Anyway, Dell-guy (okay, really QualX-guy) Keldrick is my hero today. YAY Keldrick!

Hm, dunno if I can make it that far on my lunch break. I'd be more than happy to make you some if you care to come here. Everyone loves the beach right?

Yaay good to hear your computer is working though! Yay for a good tech to fix your 'puter!

I'm in the "if it's in my house, I'll probably eat it" category. :oops: (Except for the "preserved meat"... I can't say that that category would ever sound appealing to me.)

Generally I would say I fall between salty (especially popcorn and once in a blue moon - usually when I'm pregnant - Cheetos :oops: :oops: ) or chocolate. The other stuff I generally wouldn't seek out. Now give me some chocolate covered pretzels and I'm totally set. I'll admit that I'm on a salty kick as we speak and I have been satiating it with crackers and hummus. (I am alternating with carrots to make me feel like I'm being somewhat healthy.)

Red Robe Oolong today.

Hummus is good w/broccoli, too. Yummy! :D *goes to find grocery list*

I need to do a TeaDay photo thread...a collection of all the submissions to TeaDay. I have been thinking about this too long.
Yes, that would be nice, maybe you need to delegate!

I try not to keep chocolate in the house for that reason.

LOVE hummus. Having some nice salty tuna macaroni salad right now. Hubby made it, and I brought some for lunch. Yum. Also, in my cup, some type of unlabeled oolong, (forgot to write on the bag when I got it at New Seasons.) It has gone cold though, while I was in with a client. :( Not that good.

I just noticed that I mentioned eating "humus" in my original post. THAT I put in my garden; I was actually eating "hummus." Yes, one "m" is an accepted spelling but it leaves too much open for interpretation. I'm sure you pu'erh fans didn't think anything was amiss with eating humus.

Tea time...

Heh, I don't need to put the water on, since that's what a Zoji is for. So i'm ready anytime!
