Welcome to "Moon Day Monday" TeaFriends. Please stop in often throughout the day and share with us what is in your cup. It is always nice reading about our diverse tastes in tea!
Over the "Weak"end we discussed 'Weak verses Strong Teas'. You may still vote and discuss this topic.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. This is the second in a series of light and silly topics which were suggested by Herb_Master. The intention is purely one of fun and silliness ... perhaps. However it may reveal a little bit about you and your TeaHabits! Enjoy today's topic and poll.
MoonDay TeaDay, when drinking under moonlight, what would be your tea selection?
I am looking forward to sharing this MoonDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

Moon... bottoms... I am liking this.
Now we just need a mention of crack...ling.
Moon = babies, so I would drink matcha to keep me awake for an all-nighter of baby-catching.

On an island in the South China Seas
In a 5 star retreat
Dinner is accompanied by the hotel orchestra playing the Moonlight Sonata
Then a stroll through the palm trees down to the Tea Tryst by the lagoon
A record is placed on the turntable of an antique gramophone
and the sounds issue forth
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And then I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Now it has to be a Blue Tea and that means Oolong

Definately a tisane, unless i dont plan on sleeping that night. I'm very sensitive to caffeine late in the day so the only tea i drink after 5pm is peppermint tea.
Started out with OTTI mansai this morning, thinking about an aged oolong next but maybe taiwan ruby tea decisions decisions

definitely going with a green tea here! It's not LOADED with caffeine so I can get to sleep. Plus it has a bit more body to it then white tea which would (in my opinion) seems more preferable atm.

I think I'd opt for a nice wuyi.
2 cups of black teabag tea today with milk - first day at a new job, I'll wait a while till I start getting fussy about tea.
Glasgow's covered in snow atm and some moonlight tea would be lovely out there, if it wasn't quite so chilly.

That's interesting. More babies are born during a fool moon, huh? I guess you would know.
I would be drinking the moonbeams. Too full for tea.
Earl Grey from H&S. All out of my faves, but this will definitely do for now.

Houjicha maybe. Nice and toasty for under the cool moon.
Began the TD with Oku Yutaka organic from the O-C with the Mrs. Next Silver Needle Organic from Rishi from OTTI 2.
