Greetings one and all. Welcome to TeaDay. Please stop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day!

Yesterday we discussed the future of teaware. You can still vote and discuss a rather entertaining topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. In the year 2020, will places like TeaChat still exist? Or will they be replaced by next gen ways of discussing tea? Have fun discussing today's topic!

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone! Long live TeaChat, TeaDays!

Yes, Vive le TeaChat! :D

The only tea I had today (yesterday) occurred past midnight. :( Too much to do..

It was Nada's Bangwai, loved it. I'm pretty wired now.

I think forums like TeaChat will still be around, but ten years is a long time on the 'net, so who knows. At any rate, I hope TeaChat will still be going strong ten years from now.

No tea today! Too busy. Cant' sip.

TeaChat will probably still exist, although maybe not in the form we have now. There might be something that replaces the Internet in ten years, or maybe instead of a written forum, there will be a "face-to-face" thing going on using webcams etc.

Rose congou this morning.

10 years is a long time, technologically speaking. I believe social networking through the interent will still exist, and people will still talk about their interests, such as tea; but what form that interaction will take remains to be seen. 10 years ago who could have predicted things like twitter and facebook, accessible through cell phones we'd have on our person at all times? There's no telling what the face of social networking will look like in another 10 years.

Today's Tea: Earl Gray Bravo from Adagio. It's very good and I can see myself enjoying it from time to time, but it won't replace my Yunnan as a daily staple.

Hopefully, TeaChat will exist in some form, but knowing the speed of change in the world, it will probably be in another form. :)

Golden Lion here this morning. It has become my go-to Tea; brewing it has become second-nature to me now which makes it more pleasing to make.

Yes, Vive le TeaChat! I'll still be here drinking oolong.

Still on a morning kick though of Tea Emporium Darjeeling - Turzum.
Trying to decide if I should reorder. The minimum for re-order is 300g.
I still have about 125g on hand. And I have soooo much other black to drink up. Yet this is so good. I just don't know what to do. Decisions, decisions.

I think we will still have tea forums and maybe even still have teachat since the message board/internet forum format has been pretty long lived and it´s very good at what it does. But I think also we will have new ways to socialize online and talk about tea that would be hard to imagine right now (if you can imagine it, better get coding you could be rich!)

I think places like TeaChat will still be around, but maybe with the use of webcams or some other way that we can't even imagine yet lol. I'm having a cup of Numi Magnolia pu-erh now. :)

We will have TeaChat cyborg implants! Resistance is futile!

I sure hope TC is still around in 10 years. I know I am always looking for change and improvement ... one sip at a time. But there will likely be at least one or two big steps that will forever change the landscape of TeaChat.

Began the TD with a final tasting of Zencha Moe with SweeTea while Pyrit and Shincha paid a brief visit to the TeaTable. Next up, Yutaka Midori Supreme from the O-C.

haha, I see it didn´t take long to get back in the house! :mrgreen:

Started my teaday with Fuga Super Premium from Zencha which I shared with my family...even my non-tea drinking brother enjoyed it! :mrgreen:

Thinking I will brew up some Sakura Sencha from O-cha next :)
