I offer hugs and sympathy. I cannot imagine the deprivation.
I always pack my Origins baby teapot stuffed with emergency teabags. I'll even cope with Lipton's bags, in a pinch.
Although my neighbors are all barbarians,
And you, you are a thousand miles away,
There are always two cups on my table.

Sometimes it would be nice to vacation at home. Unplug the phone, TV & computer, curl up w/a good book, a good cuppa & just veg out!

Hang around here a month and we'll fix that teabag habit!

Interesting TeaDay...
And yeah, green tea has suffered slippage! 3rd to Oolong and Black. I suspect all the green tea drinkers are on a group vacation this week, I did not get the email.
Hashiri...started before hooking up with family from Chicago and Michigan for dinner...has a really good bag of Fukamushi from Lupicia...I must have picked up this bag from the show I guess. But it was one of the best bagged teas I have had. My sister tried a genmaicha with matcha bag I brought. She had 2 steeps...progress.
Tonight a menagerie of leftover tea. Da Hong Pao from yesterday, fukamushi cold brewed 4th steep from yesterday, and Hashiri from a little earlier. Lots of soggy leaf tea this evening.
