Friday ThéDay 7/10/09 Thé and Tour de France?

[Chip]

Happy ThéDay everyone. We are hoping you will stop in and share what is in your cup today.

Yesterday responder chose their Tour de Thé style. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's ThéPoll and discussion topic. The Tour de France has journeyed from the extremely affluent Monaco to exotic southern France shores to Barcelona, and today journeys to a most likely very exciting Pyrenees Mountain Top finish. Soon it will be passing through beautiful French Countrysides. In a few weeks, Paris' Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

In today's Tour de Thé, from the above where would you prefer to drink Thé today and watch the Tour de France go by?

I am looking forward to sharing this ThéDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

Southern(ish) France! I have a friend who moved to Brantôme, France about a year ago. I expect she will be going to see the Tour, and it would be so cool to see it with her.

[Salsero]

I'll take the mountain top vista.

[MASALACHAAAAIIIIII]

from the mountain top Love the mountains. But Morocco definitely comes close!

Having hot cocoa now. since my kyusu top is ALIVE I will have some sae midori later. Yes I am a zombie who never sleeps...!

[Drax]

Southern France.

More oolongs again. I've backed away from the flavored ones for now, but I think I have one more to try before I'm out of the woods

[clareandromeda]

ohhh morocco..or the moutains, both seem like most different from where I live. Yutaka Midori today, looks like I have only enough for one more day!

[sriracha]

I chose Barcelona. It's the one place out of the options available I really want to travel to. Maybe I'll sneak off to La Sagrada Familia or Park Güell after the bikers have gone by...

Today's Tea Day stared off with some flavoured tea-orange peel and lavender from a local shop which has been a favourite for a long time. It's good when I want something simple.

I'll be off to visit my older brother in an hour, where I expect coffee to be the beverage of choice for most of us. Maybe they'll be able to root an old tea bag from the kitchen cupboards if I ask nicely, I don't know. =)

Perhaps coffee will be the better choice

I guess you meant Monaco.

Le Tour de France doesn't pass through my region this year. A few years ago (in 2004 if I remember correctly) it passed in my street by the way.

Kirameki shincha (the last one) after lunch.

[Trey Winston]

Of those locations, I'd choose Barcelona every time. One of my favorite cities.

Having some oolong today, a nice change.

[Riene]

French countryside for me!

No idea what will be in the pot this morning. DH said he'd make the tea today.

Yeah, heh. Thanks for the correction.

Well, when I ride, I love to climb and always admire the incredible mountain climbs of the Tour de France, so maybe ride to the mountain top, and sip tea and await the Tour.

Today will likely be very dramatic, the beauty of the Pyrenees, the very difficult climb to the finish and shuffling of the overall leader board. Will it be a fairy tale stage finish with Lance wearing the Yellow leader's jersey at the end of the day? I can't wait to see what happens.

If you are fortunate enough to have Versus, the Tour is on several times a day.

Began the TD with Yutaka Midori from O-Cha. SweeTea was quite interested while Pyrit, Lili, and Wulong were not.

Enjoy the TD, enjoy the day.

Although I have never been, I have wanted to visit Barcelona. From all the images I have seen of the city it is full of amazing and variegated texture woven in a fabric of time. And there are so many wonderful places to visit. I am very drawn to that type of almost organic history this morning.

This morning: Yunnan Noir and a fresh homemade English Muffin!

[Artemis]

Barcelona. I lived there for a summer... I'd love to go back there and revisit some of my haunts at Paralel.

[leiche]

French countryside for me, though it was a difficult choice to make!

Finished off my Nilgiri Blue this morning. Maybe I do like Nilgiris after all.

[depravitea]

Definitely Paris' Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Don't get me wrong, I like country settings as well, but in this particular case, that street looks awesome!

This morning - Yunnan Gold.
