May 1st!!!!! New teas are everywhere...
Yesterday, responders indicated a preference for Stainless Plug-In and Stove Top Whistlers for boiling their tea water. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome all TeaChatters to TeaDay. Brew some tea and come share what is in your cup today...all day!!! Be sure to check out what everyone else is drinking as well. Remember, you can also reflect back on your TeaDay as well.
A strange curiousity brought on by a quiet passing of Teaware by TeaDay as the top posted forum on TeaChat. What is your favorite "category" of TeaChat...and then what is your favorite "forum" within that category. And why?
FYI, there are 5 categories to TeaChat. Each category has individual forums. So, for example, you could choose "Welcome" as the category and "TeaDay" as the forum. So, what is your favorite(s)? And don't forget why!
I am anxious to see what your favorite forum on TeaChat is...and what is in your cup.

What a nifty idea for a poll!
I voted for Teas and Teawares. It's the place where I can discover new things about tea from knowledgeable people, and share what I've managed to learn so far.
Plus, the Show off Your Pots and Cups! thread has the best tea p0rn ever ... lovingly shot photographs of gorgeous (and often outrageously priced) tea utensils. Yowza.
In my cup... some late-night Adagio coconut tea. A comfort drink for bedtime!

I had to represent for TeaDay and vote for Welcome. This is the first, and sometimes only, place I get to on TeaChat each day, just to check in and see what everyone is up to. While I learn more about tea and teaware, etc. elsewhere, I had to vote for Welcome: TeaDay since this is the one place I reliably visit.
Irish Breakfast this morning, but this should be an unusually exciting tea day for me as I got a fresh batch of Adagio samples yesterday: white peony, oriental spice, spiced green, spring darjeeling, gunpowder, and the so exciting sprinkled up birthday tea freebie. What to try first ....

I chose Tea & Teawares because 1-lots of good information and 2-pretty pictures.
Darjeeling #22 in my cup this morning. The idea of having a black tea in the morning is still something I like, but I think I'm going to have to switch to flavored blacks. The non-flavored are just too acidic tasting or something.

Although teas and teaware is the place to learn a lot, I voted for Welcome. Without Welcome, teachat would not be the friendly community it is. TeaDay is the best of both worlds: a friendly community in which you can learn a lot as well.
In my cup this morning: Lu An Gua Pian (Emerald Petals Green Tea). I got this one for free as part of my Enjoying Tea order...it is a very enjoyable tea!

This was hard to answer. Tea and Teaware is my favorite section, especially all the luscious teaware. But so is Welcome, with the fun of posting in TeaDay. Decisions, decisions...but the lure of teaware p0rn is irresistible.
Not so irresistible is my tea this morning. It's sakura sencha and I badly over-steeped it. Or can it be that the freshness of a May morning is far sweeter than any sencha?

I had to pick Tea and Teaware. I congratulate Chip on the genius of TeaDay: it brings a number of us together and breathes life into the forum. Having said that, however, I feel that TeaDay does more to cement social relations than to deepen my knowledge. It's a place to sort of shake hands and ask about the family. If I want to know which tea to buy, how to brew something new to me, or other question, I go to the IM or Tea and Teaware forum.
