What is in your cup?

My work Teapot.

Tea Gschwendner had a sale last year that was awesome. Fifty percent off if you bought a cast iron tea pot. I picked up the above tea pot and a 6 month order of tea for less then what the tea pot normally sells for. I was in heaven.

I'll be a nice guy and NOT tell you how much these cost in Japan.

Or... how many different sizes they come in!

I think that $30 could supply us all!

Doctor gave me a clean bill of health, more or less, for my 50,000 mile check-up. Heart is still beating, lungs still working, all the liquids are the right color and flavor. I need to cut down on meat, and I need to get a little bit taller, but all this tea drinking hasn't ruined my liver or kidneys so I guess I'm good for another 50,000 miles.

Those sales are the moments I ruin myself more than normaly because I spent what I am supposed to save on top of what I'd have spent anyway (if anyone can make sense of this )

Good news!

Anyway, thank you all for the K.! Finding K. is a good way to start the day, I will couple it with some Buddha tea

Sorry to being so confusing
I would need Rayburn for brewing tea in a cast iron tea pot.
At the very least, I would need to buy electrical cooker with sophisticated timer. Too much trouble for a cup of tea
Though, I don't feel deprived, because I am a cup of tea type of a person, not a pot of tea. I like to drink different teas. I rarely resteep green teas. Even if I drink black teas one agter another, I like them to be different.
Something like Assam ---> English Breakfast ---> Keemun

I liked it.

Well, maybe a little I spend the weekend looking for an online teastore that has enough fruity teas (which is what I like). Eteaket seemed one of the cheapest with a good choice. I really liked that they had the green tea jasmine pearls, which ProfCrash recommended to me a while ago.

So if anyone knows a good shop that's not too expensive, ships to Europe and has lots of fruit teas, please let me know!

Back at the office, cup of green tea citrus (grrrr, forgot I had run out of tea and didn't bring any from home. So I'm stuck with the green tea citrus for the rest of the day).

RightO.

This in bold you can either forget and let your body take care of it all by himself or do what Doctor said. Talk to body first and listen to what he will tell you when you wake up.
All in all it is not so bad. Actually they look like good news.

Need to be taller if you look yourself in a mirror, not so if you look at yourself in the eyes of others. Be good now and keep giving me good advices.

Not in the mirror... On the scale.

I'm too short for my weight.

How do you like my desk and my work table? I just took the pictures first thing this morning.

that's the way. I have never been without because I have always spent as fast as i got.

Also, before thinking of buying a 30$ clay teapot I announce it and find some good friend that helps me find the right path.

I don't know whether it is expensive or not, but they do ship overseas and have a good selection. NBTea

gunpowder. washed once. 2 minutes. in the office. let's see. if i like it more or less than my Sencha (they come from the same pusher). waiting for it to cool down a little.

Nice first impression.
Maybe a coppery aftertaste, maybe.
These green teas are so evanescent and subtle.
Extremely pleasant mouth.
There is something on the sip. what? who knows. I should make friend with some Chinese and get proper guidance through these shadows.
there is much more after taste than with Sencha

Now the second steeping (after 1 wash)

Interesting. More of something, something cleaner. Chemically cleaner. I cannot refer it to anything like fruits flowers or foods. But to a color maybe. yellow orange pink like those Mary Quaint fabrics but much paler. It is my lunch break, i can do what i want.

Pleasant after taste.
Overall Sencha is better. For me at least. which means that I will have to finish this gunpowder before buying more green tea, as it is quite nice anyhow.

Black coffee. Not all the way awake yet.

However, beppe's description of a tea flavor as a washed-out Mary Quant fabric brought a smile to my face.
