Greetings fellow tea aficionados! Please come in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed teaware aquisitions that are likely to occur. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. TEA. Is there a certain TEA you are currently "eyeballing?" Please share some details and the likelihood of purchasing.

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

I've been eyeing "one last giant order" of pu'erh, with some specific stuff in mind, but I keep putting it off. I think part of the reason is that I already have a lot, but I am casting an eye toward decades in the future... fortunately even though people have reporting finding other stuff in their pu'erh, I don't recall anybody having reporting finding eyeballs....

In any case, I am still rolling with the rou gui. It's been very enjoyable!

Not really.
I have indeed some teas on my list, but I have many good teas in my fridge.

Kaboku sencha this morning.

Nah, not about to buy new tea anytime soon. I'll have to make a noticeable dent in my current stash before I do. Now, how exactly does one dent a stash? Hmm...
I'll just have some of this White Peony while I think.

Hello! I'd like to try a Japanese black tea and anything Hawaiian. Please feel free to suggest vendors.

So far just a rainy morning cup of Yunnan Gold, no eyeballs....yet.:)

There are so many new teas that I want to obtain, but I am not painfully eyeballing on any of them. Can't handle them all at once, so I will see what's the next destiny brings to me :D

I am always on the look out for something new and definately something I haven't tried yet. Although, nothing specific in mind. I will have to see what strikes my fancy and go from there. :)

Same sentiments as Ginkgo.

Poco a Poco (musical term: 'little by little').

Estate Assam in my cup.

Yes, I plan to try matcha, but that won't be until March or April.

Adagio's Ali Shan is in my cup again today.

Yes, very seriously!
Like Drax, I am constantly contemplating the next pu order.
This is probably why I don't have too much in the way of teaware. lol
When needing to choose between tea and tea-stuff, I always get tea :)

I am always eyeballing greens, fortunately I am able to look away from most other teas and focus on greens.

Yame Fukamushi from Den's is tops on the radar, but that sits in my TeaFridge!

Seriously eyeballing some Organics from O-Cha since I am falling behind my peers on these especially. :wink:

Then due to all the discussions lately, Umami Chaya, a few of their greens.

Still other vendors as well, but do not want to overdue things. After all, Shincha is only 6 months away!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Actually I am trying to not think about ordering tea. I have way too much and am just trying not to look.

In my work cup this morning AliShan Traditional from FLT.

Not really. I just got an order of 6 varied samplers and am quite pleased with all but 2.

Began the TD with Sae Midori from O-Cha in a Biwa Wan. SweeTea was sipping while Wulong and Fuji had other plans.

Next up, Fuga Limited Edition from Zencha.

Trying to blindfold myself until spring. Went to far with samples and will be lucky to finish what I have before it goes bad. Drink more tea, I guess its not that bad a problem.
