I now live about 60 miles from where I was born and raised. I spent 20 years traveling courtesy of the USAF: Okinawa (twice), Italy, Texas, and Maryland. We finally moved back to Florida in 1997.
Estate pekoe in the mug this morning.
Less than 3,000 for me.
I'm having Tie Lou Han this morning I purchased this tea from a local tea shop that had it on clearance (I don't know who their wholesaler is I'll have to ask next time). I've just recently began tasting oolong teas and I have to say I like this one a lot. When I opened the vacuum bag I smelled chocolate and a maltiness. It's a very dark tea making a golden brown liqueur. After the drinking the tea there is a very caramel after taste (amazing how teas can give these different flavors) and a distinct smell of caramel left in the cup. This tea reminds me of the Strong Fire Oolong from Tao of Tea that I recently finished. The flavor is similar but the look of the leaf is quite different. Excellent tea.

I was born in Ontario, and now live on an island off the coast of British Columbia. That's a distance of just over 2,100 miles (3,400 km) as the crow flies. It must be a very strong crow!
In my cup... coffee... mea maxima culpa.

The hospital that was born at is about 17 miles from where I currently live. The house that I grew up is a whopping 22 miles away. I had a few years of going to college in a town that was 156 miles away, but that was not permanent. I quite like living in central New York.
I started today with some Chestnut tea. Currently in my cup is french vanilla coffee simply because Dunkin Donuts gave it to me for free with the purchase of the bag of coffee beans that Mom sent me to get. It will soon be replaced by tea since I can't bring myself to finish it.

I was brought into this world less than 5 miles from here. I never thought I would live here, always envisioned myself in sunny Florida.
The TeaDay started off with Sencha Premier from Adagio brewed up in my oldest still in existance kyusu. A delicious cup and a quiet session.
Next up was Fukamushi Supreme from O-Cha. I am now considering my options for what is next.
