A special thanks to Russian Soul for being such a fantastic hostess to me today in Chicago. We visited a fabulous spot for lunch and enjoyed some delicious food, pastry, and a couple of pots of oolong tea. We had a great conversation, and I am so glad to have had this time with her. Thank you RS!
Now that I have had the pleasure of meeting both Auggy and Russian Soul, who are both such delightful people... I am making it a rule to try to meet a Teachat friend any and every time I travel.
Coming to a city near you soon.....

I had such a good time! Kymidwife is pretty awesome!
I got a sneak peek into Harry Potter subculture, I had no idea...
We went to Julius Meinl cafe and both had Fancy Formosa Oolong tea. Personally I didn't expect much thinking - this is just a restaurant tea, but was very pleasantly surprised with its quality and reminded to not assume. Of course the pleasant company might have colored everything rosy.

Nice TeaMeets!
Wow, Hazelton. You are not so far from Reading. Another TeaGhost town. There is no TeaReason to come to Reading, except we have an authentic 7 story pagoda atop the mountain which Reading is built. Actually, the night of the Opening Cermonies for the Olympics, they had its 100 year anniversary.
But no tea there anyway.

I am so glad to be home... totally exhausted... and now mentally planning my "Teachat Travels" of the future. Wish I could come see every one of you, and perhaps I will!

It seems the general area around me for atleast 100 miles has nothing worth Teaexploring. There is however a little place in Intercourse (near Lancaster) that sells their own loose Tisanes which are amazing.Chip wrote:Nice TeaMeets!
