Interesting question... but given that I don't know what it's like to feel older than I am......, hm! Seriously though, I think I pretty much feel my age. Maturity/mentality? Definitely pre-pubescent. :D

Rush rush rush again... had no time for tea yesterday. So sad! :(

So many things that one could do in one's life, such little time (or so it feels at times) to do them all, at least todo them justice.

If I could wind the clock back a quarter of my life - I could attend to some of the omissions. :D

This morning drinking Shui Jin Gui from Purple Cane - with Buxton Water. http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 07#p135307

I feel as old as I am. I appreciate the wisdom that comes with age so I wouldn't want to feel a day younger than I am.
About to make some Kame.

I remember my Father telling me, when he was quite old, "I don't feel a day over 30". I didn't really comprehend what he was saying until I turned 30. Now I feel the same way.

In my cup this morning some rather old Sichuan Gongfu from Tea Spring. I bought this way over a year ago and never opened it. Still rather tasty.

Have a nice day everyone!

I said less than 25 but that isn't too far from my real age anyway. However, mostly because I am still a kid at heart but if isn't wasn't for the fact that I too am a mother I am more responsible as well. If I didn't have a child I may still be 10 years old. :lol:

Less than 20, surely. I don't feel like a kid, exactly, but I also don't feel old enough to be working on my second degree.

Time to dip into the houjicha stores and get to writing.

I'd have to say I feel less than 25.
... unless I'm speaking with someone who actually is, then I feel...wise :)

Great question!!!
My physical body works better than it did about 20 years ago.
But I know that what I've learned in the past 20 years, would not fit in the young brain I had then...as I was certain that I had all the answers already :roll:

All I know is that "it's all good"!

Now for some tea,
Dreamer

Me too! It is tasty, but not quite as good as the Handmade Nilgiri from TeaSource.

Under 25, which corresponds to my actual age but gives me a few years extra to account for my level of maturity that makes me people think I am older than I am when they talk to me. Otherwise on first impressions, most people think I look like I am still in high school, especially on t-shirt and jeans days when I don't wear make-up.

I feel older than I really am mentally or at least Im much more mature than most 22 year olds. My partying days are far behind and Im grateful for that.

I put on jeans today from about 25 years ago. Yeah, I have jeans that old which likely has something to do with my town being a factory outlet town at a time when that actually meant there were outlets in the factories. 8)

Anyway, I guess that makes me feel 25 years younger than I am. :lol:

Busy days ... but still great TDs. Today began with a tasting of Yame Sencha Fukamushi from Den's, very good. Followed by genmaicha at the Sushi Bar with lunch, a tasting of Yame Matcha from Zencha, and a tasting of Maeda-en Gyokuro with DW.
