Good night

Sweet dreams, Dorothy!

Yay strawberries! the fruit of summer

A delicious tisane to enjoy this afternoon, and into the evening. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday.

Today’s tea is gonna be yummy. Hope everyone has a pleasant night filled with good rest. Good night my friends. 😴

Love wild strawberry!

This tea hot or cold is delicious!

I prefer it cold

A, I agree, though I think I like it cold better. Or maybe it depends on the whim of the moment.

Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe are Lucius, they are an amazing duo, two different tones sung in harmony for a really cool sound, they backed up Roger Waters on his Us and Them tour, sang with Brandi Carlisle, Joni Mitchell, and more. Here is a cool cover of Right Down the Line https://youtu.be/4jCvPW_9_7M?si=HbU149SoVn9m89QF

120 days till Halloween 💜🎃💜 Happy Thursday!!!! This tea is so yummy iced, it will be incredibly refreshing since we live on the surface of the sun lately! Sabby and I are sending love and hugs!!🌞

I'm gonna have to make a fresh batch of Wild Strawberry cold brew to join you all with tomorrow, the first batch went much faster then I thought it would! Wishing everyone good sleep, and good dreams! 🍓💤

Sipping some of Irishman's "Rainy Day" tonight. It's not raining, but man this cup is just evokes a nice mellow mood and is really nice as a last cup of the night. It was one of my friend blend picks this month. I keep thinking I should try it iced, but I just enjoy it too much hot. Anyone else run across teas like that?https://www.adagio.com/105722

Yep :'D If I make it cold in the fridge a day or two before, then it helps make it happen anyway, because I get to compare them side by side and see what the difference is. And doing stuff like that makes my brain happy. 🙃

Yes, on rare occasions.

Finished my answers to the questions the new interim dean wants to discuss tomorrow. Hope it goes well.

Good luck, Bambi!

Good night 😴

Good night

Oops, should have saved this to try hot, since I have the iced tea bags... but I cold brewed the packet already...

Good night~ 🌙

Night, tea buddies! ☕️

Good morning tea fronds.

Good morning ☀️

Yet another one that I love

Time for tea! 😘

Today you can celebrate American redneck day, disobedience day, chocolate wafer day, complement your mirror day, eat your beans day, fried clams day, independent beer run day, plastic bag free day, and stay out of the sun day!

Hmm...I feel moved to celebrate...none of those really. Maybe plastic bag free day? I'm not going anywhere, though.

Do you have mirror in your house you can compliment by telling it how nicely it reflects everything today? Or perhaps listen to a bit of Jeff Foxworthy comedy for rednecks

Also, it is easy to celebrate plastic bag free day when you don't HaVE to go out and use any! :)

Stay out of the sun day? Perfect excuse to stay inside, drink some tea and craft!

Solid reasoning!

Definitely eat your beans day as hubby is making baked beans, using two kinds of beans we got from Rancho Gordo.

I'm going with stay out of the sun day. My mom & I are going to join my SIL & kiddos for a swim in our pool later today then out to watch fireworks tonight but that and a grocery store run are about all the outdoor plans for today!!! :)

Morning

Good morning!

Good morning! The 4th of July is a big event here. I live a block over from all the festivities - the weeklong fair, the parade, and the fireworks. Consequently, we always host, so I'll be busy preparing for that today. Have a great day!

Good morning.

Good morning!

Good morning and thank you to whoever bought my blend of Midnight Blue! I hope you enjoy it. https://www.adagio.com/237978

Well, my newest chimera is on pause for a little while I work on a pattern test. This thing is gonna be great, it's a leptictidium, ye really olde kangaroo rat.

Good morning! We are packing up to go home. I must admit that I enjoyed today's tea yesterday ,iced , on a hot summer day. Highly recommend! Earl Grey Moonlight is in my cup this morning 🫖

Safe travels.

Safe journey Karen!

Mornin' all ~ I have today's 🍓🫖❣️ blended with ... Aquamarine by Sofia! Thanks ArtyJen, for this one! https://www.adagio.com/231507 ..... & My Morning Caff Sip is Irishman's 🇮🇪🌹~~~ Lotsa Blueberries in my tin! *swoon* Thank you Christine D., & Irishman for this one! 🥰 🍀 https://www.adagio.com/119646

Oooh, that sounds fun! I'm glad you are enjoying the Aquamarine blend no matter how you sip it! :) I want to try the November-Topaz from that series.

I can't wait for the little tins to come back in! I have added so many friend's blends to my wishlist, it's going to take a white to try all of them!

Ruth, I have a huge backlog too. Something to look forward to in the coming months...

Same, Ruth!

YES!!!! Can't wait to have the little tins back.

There once was a tea lover named Kt / Whose birthday was steeped in pure glee / With earl grey and chai / We all raised a cry / Happy birth-tea, sip joyfully! #

DDTS: I finished a small tin of ChasiTEA’s Ready for Diamonds ♦️ I’ve enjoyed every one of ChasiTEA’s blends that I’ve tried. This one is no exception. I can’t review it, as it was a gift. If I could review it, I would give it five stars. It’s an excellent blend of black teas that I thoroughly recommend. If you’re a fan of black tea, give this one a try.

Have a great day

I am current sipping Mary B's Breakfast Dessert. It was a bit of a rough night here. Laddie was in discomfort at 3;00 a.m. Hubby woke up and took him out. He went to the potty and then upchucked a bit. I woke up at that point and went out to see what was going on. Hubby and pup returned to bed. I fell back asleep but hubby could not. Laddie upchucked again in bed and hubby got up with him around 4;00. i did not hear them get up and woke up about 6:00 to find hubby asleep in his recliner. I gave Laddie half of his normal breakfast. He is drinking water well and ate his breakfast with no problem. He is currently sleeping on my lap. This tummy upset is very unusual for him. I am hoping he will be okay. With the holiday tomorrow our vet's office most likely will be closed. We were going to walk this morning as we were all a bit out of it. I am very hard of hearing and, of course, do not sleep with my hearing aids in so I tend not to hear things during the night. Also, I sleep hard...when I am awake, I am awake, and when I am asleep I am in deep sleep and dream a lot. Hubby sleeps lightly and wakes up quite easily. I feel bad that I did not hear Laddie but am so grateful hubby did. I am focusing on getting some laundry done and hubby is doing some cooking today. He is making baked beans for tomorrow. Yum!

ALLove to Laddie!!!

Twyla, thank you. He seems to be doing okay. He has kept his breakfast down and has not had any more emergencies. I am hopeful. Have no idea what could have caused his problems as he had nothing unusual yesterday. Go figure!

Mary, sending extra prayers and scratches for Laddie! Why is it always around holiday weekends that our little fur babies have problems. I know I'm picking up some puppy calming treats today because tomorrow night will be sitting out in the backyard comforting the big dogs as the fireworks display goes off about 3 MI away. That's not the bad part, it's all the local neighbors who insist upon shooting them off throughout the night, last year there were a couple places that had some really large ones like they raided a professional fireworks display somewhere. Never mind the fact that fireworks are strictly illegal here and theoretically there's a hefty fine. Nobody cares because it's not enforced. I smiled when I read your sleep habit description. Mark told me we could probably run a marching band through the living room when I'm asleep, nothing wakes me up, whereas he's like your husband if a leaf falls off the tree outside the bedroom window he's awake.

Michelle, perhaps our hubbies are in guard mode? I am so with you on fireworks. We have neighbors that set off mortars that rattle the windows. I am so hoping the people who did so in years past have moved! It is so difficult for our fur babies. Laddie does better than he did when we first got him, but he still is not a fan. I also feel for anyone with PTSD. When I see the big fireworks tents go up I cringe. I hope it is better for you this year and send love and cuddles to your fur babies.

Mary, hopefully your comforting will help Laddie feel better. Best wishes for his return to feeling more like himself soon.

Paula, thank you so much. He has been a sleepy little guy but seems to be doing okay so far. Fingers crossed.

I hope Laddie feels better soon Mary. It’s so hard when they are sick.

Thank you, Janet. He seems to be okay now. I am cautiously optimistic.

Good morning tea lovers!

This is one of those herbals from Adagio that I definitely like. This screams iced tea to me.

Is anyone looking for a white blueberry card? I have one to trade.

I made an offer. Feel free to counter or deline.

Heading out soon for a long weekend. Visiting my parents for the 4th

Safe travels.

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Thursday! I'm off to a busy/late start, so I'm just popping to to say hello and to wish you all an amazing day. God bless...😇🙏🫖🍪🍵😇

Good morning, Marlicia. Have a beautiful day! 😇

Hello, Angelica, and good afternoon! I hope your day is going well, and only gets better and better as it steeps, LOL. God bless...😇😇😇

Happy birthday Christine

Happy birthday Christine! 🎈🎉🥳🎉🎈

Am I just imagining things or did the August calendar change? I swear there were a few Master's teas on there and now there's not. So odd.

That is strange, but I think you are right!

I forgot to screenshot it when I looked at it earlier

Yup, it changed. On the 18th the had Tie Kuan Yin Black and on the 29th the had Jin Guan Yin. I can’t believe they now have Lapsang on the 18th. 😜🤢

Hello everyone in CT-land! I started my day with Earl Grey Supreme. It's one of the few EG variants I enjoy. Added a dash of non-dairy creamer and it was perfection in a cup. Hope you all have a great day getting ready for the holiday weekend!

I am doing a cold brew of strawberry lemonade that I set aside for hot summer weather. I had a nice cup of Pinkish Grey. The decaf version is currently in the large carafe as a cold brew, so I am definitely going with a strawberry theme today.

Thanks for the trade offers for my Rooibos Caramel-- there were FOUR! I went with the Chamomile of course! LOL -- I want a LOT of it. I appreciate you each and wish I'd had 4 cards of the rooibos so I could grant each tea trade! :)

Glad i forgot to drink my Green Rooibos Key West last night. After the water heater repairmen leave and putting everything back, that tea will be great after a night in the fridge

Hey everyone. I haven't been able to keep up with the chat here recently so you've probably discussed this already, but have you seen the cool new items in the rewards? I'm wondering if anyone has tried the milk frother yet. I've got my eye on the sweet tooth staples bundle too...

I was just eyeing the sweetener bundle

I have the milk frothed in my cart. Someone put mine in the sink and it no longer works, will check in when I get it, waiting for August Communitea to drop :)

Oops. Sorry your frother drowned. Looking forward to hearing what you think of this one once you get it and take it for a spin.

Teamoji parade time. ☕️🫖

Julie, your photo of the groundhogs is adorable! It looks like they’re posing for the JcPenny catalogue, lol. 😉

They were just so incredibly cute and didn't care that I was hanging out the car window to take their photo :)

Counting down until the three day weekend begins!

Another tea trade proposal... I have BREATHERS of Assam Melody AND Scottish Breakfast to trade. I'd like other unflavored black teas but Ceylon Sonata and Irish Breakfast are NOT contenders and I'm good on Spring Darjeeling. I have no idea how much or how little interest there is in this, but I'll put it out there and we shall see. I'm open to 4 mismatched unflavored black tea cards along the same lines (no Ceylon, Irish, or Spring Darjeeling) if you don't have breathers.

I'm interested in your Scottish Breakfast breather, Angel, please feel free to take a look at my breathers, or whatever else may catch your attention and make me an offer if you see something you like. God bless...😇🫖🙏😇

🍓 ☕️

UPDATE: Only the Assam Melody BREATHER trading card remains. :)

Trade offer sent. Feel free to decline or counter.

Good afternoon tea folk. I’m having a chai day. I started with “Peace Begins with a Smile…” and Tea, a gift from Marlicia! https://www.adagio.com/180213 Now I’m drinking Witch’s Brew Chai blended by Irishman https://www.adagio.com/238220 It has moderate caffeine for the afternoon hours. Tonight I will drink Woodie’s Decaf Pumpkin Spice Dream https://www.adagio.com/237999 These are all spectacular chai blends for every caffeine level you need.

good afternoon!

Twyla, you are super adorable. You're absolutely lovely in your photo.

Awww Thank you, DEAR TEAPAL!!!

Hello everyone! This is one of my favorite teas!

i love it too! Just made a lovely Raspberry-Cherry-Hibiscus-Cayenne Jam infused with this tea...and i'm drinking some iced too!

Yay for the long weekend ahead!

🎉 I hit a DDTS goal today in finishing up my box of Taylors of Harrogate lapsang souchong teabags.

😋 Mmmm. I made today’s tea and added some fresh petite diced strawberries. So good!

Drinking the Wild Strawberry this afternoon. Had the Gold Leaf Assam this morning. Yesterday the family celebrated my nephew's birthday. My brother-in-law grilled steak, lobster tail, and salmon. Guess my BIL wants to entice him to visit often (my nephew lives several states away).

Wild strawberry was the beeeeest tea for my hangover breakfast. Had it with pancakes with peaches on top~ Went to see Weird Al Yankovic in concert and didn't get home until about 4am, so I needed a sweet pick me up hehe

Need one Fujian Rain to turn portions into samples, Lets trade, all cards not locked up for grabs

I sent you an offer, John. Feel free to counter or decline.

Omg.. Wish I had it.. as I would just gift it to you. That is one that I just can't get down with

ok, it's stuck in my head, so I'm sorry but....IIIIIII wanna rock and roll, all night! and party ev er ee day! Good! I hope it's stuck in your head now too! lol

quickly listened to Hey Hey we're the Monkeys and Kiss is all gone, lol

And now I will be singing Hey hey we’re the monkeys!

I made today’s tea nice and strong, so I could put it on ice. It sure is good, hot or cold. We are sitting here trying to decide if we want to deal with the heat, humidity, mosquitoes, and the crowds, just to see the fireworks tonight. Not sure why our city is having them tonight instead of tomorrow. If we do go, we won’t go all the way into the big show, just park a ways out and watch them with smaller crowds from a distance. Hope you all have a wonderful evening, whatever you’re doing tonight.

Today's seems seems nice but a bit on the tart side for me, so sweetening it would probably help.

Thank you Tanya and Angelica for trading!

I hope everyone is having a great Thursday! I've been thinking it's Friday all day since I'm off today :) Just relaxing and enjoying a turned down day today :) And.....thinking of that song while posting this helped me get Kiss and the Monkeys out of my head after reading chat! :)

I've been thinking it's Friday too, but that's because I have off tomorrow. 😁

I've been thinking it's Friday too, but that's because I have off tomorrow. 😁

Wild Strawberry is soooo good in blends, iced, especially..... Soooo enjoyed it today with White Tropics, White Eternal Spring & Calypso Green!
