Saturday TeaDay 3/28/09 ... coming back?

by Chip » Mar 28th, '09, 02:03

Welcome everyone to TeaDay. I hope you will stop by and share what is in your cup today.

Yesterday, why TeaChatters first came to TeaChat, predictably "get advice" was the top reply. Surprisingly, "curiosity" was only 3 votes behind. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

You may pick only one for the poll, but as many as you want for the discussion. Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Of course, after yesterday it begs to be asked. Why are you still visiting TeaChat? Please share with us what keeps you coming back?

I am looking forward to sharing TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up.

Discuss tea in general.

If i want to know some advice or information on something I usually can count on someone here to help me out, and I usually try to help out with what I know as best i can. Its a great community of like minded people, the banter is always quite interesting :)

I pretty much came just to increase knowledge of tea all around. After meeting and really starting to get to know some of you, I definitely come back for the fellowship, as well as the discussion and advice! Too late (or early 8) ) for tea so I'll be sure to post later in the day! Hope everyone had a great night and well wishes for a good TeaDay to come! Good night! :)

I voted for tea fellowship.
I love teachat because others can talk about their passion of tea.

Drinking a nice hot cup of golden springs......it's the perfect black tea to start your mornings. :wink:

Nothing in my cup this morning. :shock: I've got to roll out pretty quickly to go help a friend move. I plan to tackle some pu-erh this afternoon. . .

I could have checked the first four options.
Now I'm mostly here for the fellowship and to learn more about tea.

Teaspring's Beidou No 1 in my cup this morning. This tea is really growing on me.

I have been curious about this tea lately and thinking of getting some. Daniel Ong seems to think quite highly of it and recommended it recently, but he was short on details. Is there anything more you could say about it?

I guess I 'm still here because I love to talk about tea, and no one else gets it. So whether it is Tea Discussion or Tea Fellowship, I'm not quite certain, it's both. Since I voted "Discussion" yesterday, I'll go with Fellowship today.

No tea yet, I need to brew!!

Have a nice day everyone!

I put general discussion of tea, but also for the fellowship. No one around me really wants to talk about tea, so I get to do so here.

Also I've learned so much since I joined here.

Great start to my teaday here. Opened a package from Artistic Nippon, my first actually. I'm now the proud owner of a Tokoname kyusu and three Arita yunomi.

In addition to the gaiwan set I got from TeaSpring a week or so ago, I think I'm off to a great start for my teaware collection.

First thing in my cup today will be some Sencha Overture from Adagio.
