Wednesday TeaDay 10/13/10 Contentment?

[Chip]

Welcome everyone to another TeaDay. Please do drop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day!

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

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic, contentment. Currently, are you fully content with your tea enjoyment in its totality, entirety, wholeness, or is their something you either feel you need to or want to change in order to improve your enjoyement? Please share.

I am as always looking forward to sharing TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up!

Pretty content.
Kinda nice to be able to notice and say that.
Puerh mix in cup now.

I'm pretty content with my life AND my TeaExperience. Wish my health was a bit better, but I've learned to live with that, too.

[olivierco]

Yes, completely and utterly


Kaboku sencha to start the afternoon.

[LauraW]

I said maybe. The only thing I can think of would be more time to actually enjoy the total experience of tea, not just sit down and work with a cup at my desk.

Nothing yet, on my way out the door... Snowbud this morning?

[TwoPynts]

Maybe for me. I'm still exploring teas and finding what I like best. It would be great to have a more elaborate set-up at work, which is where I drink most of it. Other than that, very content.

Sipping TGY #4 from OTTI 6 this AM.

[JBaymore]

Happy camper here.

best,

[Victoria]

Yep - completely and utterly. With the caveat that I wish I had more time to enjoy them.

Started the day with Tea Emporium Darjeeling, next up ... Oolong.

[entropyembrace]

really wanting some new (smaller) teaware to get more infusions out of my oolongs and puerhs...have seriously been feeling need to shrink my teaware this year.

Great TeaDays mean quite content. The one thing that I needed was to mix the teas up a bit, mix other teas other than Japanese greens into the mix.

OTTI has proven to be very helpful in this regard, adding pretty many new teas without huge commitments of ordering lots of tea and teas. It seems it adds just the right amount of variety and actually has enhanced my enjoyment of Japanese greens ... again.

Sharing teas with the Mrs. and through the OTTI as well has increased my personal enjoyment of tea.

Now all I need is more Japanese, Taiwanese, Teaware Artisan, etc wares and I will be most content.

Pretty content with what I do at home.

Absolute bliss drinking with tea friends on my Annual Malaysian trips.

It would be a great improvement if I could find some near neighbours to share tea evenings with!

[nickE]

I am completely satisfied, love drinking tea. However, that doesn't mean I don't always want MOAR TEA! Seriously... I'm always thinking about what I want to try next.

EoT Sun Moon Lake black today, excellent.

I feel like there are three things I seriously need to reach contentment with my tea drinking...
1. More high quality Chinese greens (these are my favorite teas, but I don't have a large supply).
2. More teaware, specifically a better gaiwan and a yixing pot for oolongs.
3. Friends to enjoy tea with. My wife isn't huge on tea and the nearest tearoom is ~45 minute drive away. And none of my current friends really enjoy tea, most actually don't like it at all...

Had some Jungpana Darjeeling earlier, thinking maybe a quick pot of Bai Hao Yin Zhen before work.

[entropyembrace]

teaday started with kiri no mori matcha from O-cha....

and then I made moar!

[RaynBeatle]

I'm pretty content....But I've been playing a rediculous amount of video games lately...and as silly as it sounds...I would like to have a tea to go with my games...lol.

Today I had a bowl of Matcha and now I have some Pouchong
