I have a very nice Lapsang that I have to hold my breath as I bring the cup to my nose. Love the taste though.

Never tried it, i've heard the stories about it though. I guess the 100% people might like durian tea?

Chiran Supreme from O-Cha a while ago, very good YM leaf!

Finishing the TeaDay with Taiwan Oolong from Korean Hankook. This is actually a very nice oolong, nice and aromatic and good flavor too.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I'm having a nice soothing bowl of double Matcha Kiri No Mori. Yes, I know its after 10pm. I'm staying up late tonight for the Twilight DVD release. I know, I'm a geek.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

Oh, shoot. Is someone keeping track? :shock: Then I must look schizophrenic because I voted 60% for every questions!

Enjoying some Rooibos sunshine, an herbal blend :shock: , to help me get some sleep. I need to find a poem to sign a baby quilt.

A geek? No way, I am totally envious of you. However you won't get any sleep until you view it . . .

I am a complete looser -- I am waiting until morning because I can't stay awake! I cannot wait to get a hold of it and watch the extras and deleted scenes. Edward!!!

Sound? I don't care about the sound of leaves shaking in a tin, or the pour from the pot to the cup, or the whistle of a kettle or the gurgle in my tummy after I drank way too much. I'd have given it a zero anyway.

However... in fact, tea does speak to me... just not out loud. Sometimes it sings. Sometimes it whispers. It knows my name. It beckons me, night and day... alters my plans, coerces my spending, infiltrates my work hours... it is always in my ear.

In the sixth sense of extra-sensory perception, I'm a tea medium. :DSarah
I agree Sarah! Didn't even give sound a second thought! Although to each his own!
My totals exactly to add up to 100%. I am usually a rebel, but this time followed the rules :wink:
Taste FTW!
Have a FAB TeaDay Everyone!
