Now I'm even later for my first cup of the day since I let the kettle get too hot and must wait a few minutes before steeping the last of my White Monkey. <sigh>
Surely it'll be better once I get that tea in me, won't it?
Absolutely my dear!! As for myself, I'm feeling much better today. Lots of teas ahead of me today but much work as well. My new Amex card is coming overnight to my work address so all is well. Well ... better. And looking forward to going out to dinner tonight, and a little shopping, something I haven't done in quite awhile.
Ummm well... the dinner part.

Wow! You've got everything! I googled "premium daughter central" (didn't know the magic word!) and found it in yunnan colorful (the ebay store). They only sell rather large size. But it's great to know at least one source. Thanks a lot!

Mmm, yes, Yunnan Colorful, that sounds right. So tell me more about this amazing Google ... it can find things that are lost?
(I guess I never thought to google it! Thanks.)

Was it a green tea? Maybe similar to this?

Good afternoon everyone! Just wanted to let you know that 'Shelob' is better today, her spirits anyway with all the get wishes and prayers sent her way yesterday!
Bye the way, she was furious w/me for mentioning to send her tea.... please don't and I am embarrassed that I took liberties to interject that just for fun.
Just figured everyone would laugh, however she did not, she was kinda mortified that I did that
I will have a better report for you in a few hours as far as updating her condition.
I am drinking one of her black teas, it's good

The one I saw is a tea from Yunnan. This fire ring is from another province. But it looks quite interesting and precious from the description. I wish they had a photo of the tea! One more thing to explore! Thanks Victoria! Trying new things is always exciting

Hope Shelob will get better soon. You are a truly good friend. Maybe we can send YOU tea instead

Before I place an order with Adagio, can anyone give me an idea of the delivery time if the order is going to southwestern Georgia?
Hey, a neighbor! I'm in Tifton. It'll take on average 3 days. Now, where in the world do you get Red Rose loose leaf down here?????

That is good to hear.
Give her our regards.

That is bad to hear. I just sent a couple kilos.
Just kidding.
Had Adagio Keemun earlier, then some oolong, and now about to have another tea, Japanese I believe.

hi, tea people. new things to try and look for and learn about are one of my favorite things about tea. that said, i do also have my staples that i come back to again and again-- uji sencha and dragonwell, mainly.
on a different note, we had to put our dog down yesterday. her name was nala, and we loved her a bunch. it hurts so much not to have her by me now that i don't even know what to say. it would do me some good to think that a few of you out there might be sparing a thought for friends who've moved on while sipping their tea today. i can't seem to think of anything else, just now.
iron goddess of compassion in the pot this morning, for the symbolic value. she fights day and night in the name of peace, y'know.

Well, since I collect puerh mostly, most of my tea purchases go for new pu. But on occasion, I will get a wild hair and buy something totally new to me.
So far, 2007 Xi-zhi hao Dragon and Phoenix

So sorry about Nala, Sean! Drink to her memory. My eyes filled as I read your post and remembered our border collie, Cookie. She was very special.
