Thursday FreeDay TeaDay 5/13/10

by Chip » May 13th, '10, 01:08

Good FreeDay TeaDay! I hope you will stop by and visit throughout the day and share what is in your cup.

Yesterday we discussed TeaBlogs. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaDay is a FreeDay. So, answer the poll and then feel FREE to discuss whatever on this FreeDay.

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

The poll doesn't let you vote more than once. :( Just made up some white chai + black banana hazelnut muffin blend.

I'm starting with some delicious Bi Luo Chun to wake me up, then later some Qimen Hao Ya A (just a sample I got) and probably test that thai wulong Dong Tui again...

Starting the day wit some Bohea from Tao of Tea. When I haven't had this one in awhile, I really appreciate its sweet smokiness and fruity notes.

Have a nice day everyone!

Black Dragon Pearl from China through Adagio.

I needed a good, strong cuppa' this morning. Barclay's training has stalled -- or rather his learning! Terriers are stubborn, and love to chew and dig. Do you suppose terrier stands for terror???? :lol: He really has learned a lot in 2 1/2 months, but. . . he's a little :twisted:

Ooops, pop has been in the hospital all week, guess I am a bit out of sorts. I will blame it on him.

:oops:

I have fixed the poll, sooo, vote away. If you voted, you can continue to vote throughout the day.

What a fantastic idea for a thread! Today I begin my TeaDay with my first 2010 First Flush Darjeeling! It's an exciting day, indeed.

Sorry to hear about your Dad Chip, hope he recovers quickly.
In my work cup currently 2010 Darjeeling Yashadhara.
This is from SpecialTeas and pretty darn good.
