[Chip]

Good TeaDay TeaAficionados! Please drop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed New Years resolutions. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's Topic!

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic ... yesterday's resolution topic a TeaStep forward. Do you have any TeaResolutions for the new year ... formally or not, sort of or not, officially or not, etc? Please be sure to share some tea related adjustments that may be in store for you!

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone.

None for me. I'm not one for new year's resolutions, personally.

in 2010 I hope to get a LOT more work done on my website and also to try to move to Suzhou. We'll see how that works though. It'll take a ton of planning and preparation.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Oops, well my New Year's resolution was a TeaResolution. Just buying less and concentrating more on my favorites. Spending less. Getting more organized as I drink down my stash.

No special Tearesolution.
Just drinking good tea and buying nice teaware as usual.

Houjicha with my lunch.

Since I am starting my new tea blog around the new year, what better TeaResolution than to make sure that it doesn't fall by the wayside and that I keep generating valuable content that actually helps people.

Camellia Sinensis Darjeeling Gopaldhara in my cup this morning.
Have a nice day everyone!

No resolution, but I hope to keep trying new teas. Probably won't buy a lot of new teaware.

My husband, Ed, and I are in the de-accessioning phase of our lives. We're giving away a lot of things that have monetary or sentimental value to our sons and grandchildren. It'll save them a lot of hassle later on!

Planning on some more Red Peach tea today, and the Mariage Freres Marco Polo. it's a black tea sort of day!

I have a bunch of green teas that I haven't even tried yet, so I guess if I were to make a resolution, it would be to try them out and try to appreciate the "greener" side of tea!

Glendale OP in my cup at home this morning. I'm not sure yet what the work tea will be.

I have been so lax in my blogging duties while busy with the holidays and working on some projects. I will be changing that around and once again working a couple months ahead on posts.

I'm also hoping to explore the world of Rooibos and Mate' while educating myself on the relationships between cultivars.

This morning I'm drinking a blueberry green tea from Bentley's. A bit weak, it was given to me in a teabag by a coworker. Nothing like the blueberry rooibos I reviewed from Baxter last Spring.

My new year resolution is going to bed early and getting up early. Hence my tea resolution is no tea after 5pm. Well I will try to keep it as much as I can. It's really hard when sometimes several new teas arrive on the same day

[TubbyCow]

Drink far more tea.

Perfect writing out tasting notes.

Teach my family members/friends how to properly buy me tea that I'll actually like for gifts, or just convince them to donate to a worthy cause instead. It pains my soul to throw out tea.

Victoria I couldn't have said it better.
This is also my 2010 resolution. Last year was amazing as far as tea goes but I spent way, way more than I had planned and so this year I want to buy less teaware and focus more on my favorite teas and not so much sampleing.
Im only buying from about 2 places and thats it. Spring chinese teas and spring wuyi will make up the bulk.

more rou gui and long jing this morning

Great TeaResolution!

After 10 years of drinking tea, I still struggle to throw teas away ... I try to find some alternate uses, iced tea reserve ... and then there are soothing/theraputic tea baths, seriously.

Plus I am such a picky person, I am extremely hard to buy tea for .....

Yeah, easier said than done!!! Good luck with that one.

TeaResolutions ... maybe a repeat from the last few years, keep trying new teas and newer vendors from within my current area of focus, Japanese green teas.

And to further the enjoyment of Japanese teas by others.

And to remember there are other teas including blacks, oolong, whites, and pu-erh.

Began the TD with Yutaka Midori from O-Cha, a fave for several years that I never seem to tire of. Shared some with SweeTea while Pyrit and Ceylon kept company.
