This one was easy: the tea vacation.

The ceremonial aspects of tea have always been less important to me than the tea itself, and tea grows in some fantastically beautiful places. Today, through tea, I have traveled to Japan, Yunnan, and Fujian: how much more wonderful to travel to them in person.

A 30K tea vacation would be pretty cool. Sign me up.

No tea today, for some reason.

Tea room / garden for me please - although it would be fun to travel, if I had a tea room, it would feel like I was somewhere exotic every day.

Hunan black in my cup this morning.

Heya back at-cha Space! Good to see you. :mrgreen:

I have not decided yet on the poll, tough call.

A trip of a lifetime, or a tearoom to last a lifetime? :?:

Wow, surprisingly my sentiments exactly ... being married to you all this time has made me less spontaneous, or so it appears! :shock: Guess it's finally starting to rub off on me. :wink:

However, I believe I am leaning more towards that lifetime enjoyment that would be had by the Japanese TeaRoom and Garden choice! :wink:

Silver Needle in my cup at work this morning, shared sencha from togeii early this morning with Chip and the catz!

Have a great day everyone.

It was close, but I went with Teavacation. I'm not likely to stay in one place long enough to warrant a real tea room/garden. So I just make do and do my best to create tea space with what I have.
