... a new bowl that just arrived from Japan, a non Hagi chawan BTW!

Excellent! Remember, take it just one day at a time.

Good one! The DT's are brutal.

OK, matcha Hana from Yuuki-Cha in this bowl, it is a tough call which is more spectacular, the chawan, the matcha, or the matcha in the chawan. But you will just have to settle for a view of the chawan for now!

See it HERE! at the bottom of the page.

Yunnan Noir from Adagio brewed up in my Brown Betty to round out the day. It amazes me how those little curls expand into those long leaves.

Mmmm... Just finished the day with with Hou de's aromatic aged mid-90's dancong.

Some of it is going towards my shincha fund. In fact some of it has already been used to preorder shincha from O-cha.

Well since I absolutely need sincha and I'm almost out of matcha and I've ordered a couple of new matcha bowls...I guess we can say I'm spending some of my refund on tea and teaware...yeah, that works for me!

Since I forgot to chime in here on yesterday, I'd better try to remember yesterday's teas...everyday Ceylon at breakfast with the family...took a mug full to work and mixed it with some fruity blend that my tea friend brewed up...it tasted pretty good that way.

In the afternoon, I enjoyed a tasty bowl of matcha (much talk the evening before here on the the old chat about chawan sizes had me craving matcha).

In the evening some iced tea (2nd steep of the Ceylon from breakfast). Mmmmm, delightful!
