Others, like John and Kat B, gave honest reviews, wishing for stronger spice notes or sharing alternate favorite blends.

Community Support and Care

There was a strong outpouring of support for members dealing with illness or difficult times. A F thanked friends for well wishes as she recovered from sickness, and later in the day, concern centered on age and her beloved pet Sabby, who is seriously ill. The community, including Mary B, Karen Graap, Ruth Perkins, Woodie Barnes-McWhirter, and many others, responded with empathy, advice, and emotional support.

Site Feature Questions

Technical issues and features on the communiTEA site generated conversation among users. Kathryn & Kami experienced trouble with the photo and teamoji upload functionality, prompting explanations and troubleshooting help from Michelle McGill, Twyla MoonBeam, and Janet R. The group discussed requirements such as streaks, file types, and anticipated fixes.

Celebrating Quirky Holidays

The chat enjoyed sharing and celebrating a wide variety of whimsical holidays, from 'I Love Lucy Day' and 'Handwashing Day' to 'Hagfish Day' and 'Cheese Curd Day.' Michelle Levan, Kat B, and Paula M highlighted the unique traits of some, and the group replied with amusement, personal stories, and snack preferences. 'Lowercase day' and 'Financial Aid Day' also joined the list thanks to user contributions.

Tea Swapping, Recipes, and Expertise

Tea trading and recipe sharing were ongoing, with users like Khrissi Satterfield and Jasmine Mone organizing swaps for cards and holiday teas. Advice was exchanged on topics such as honey powder uses, steeping temperatures, and specific tea recommendations. Rita Gerstheimer even considered pursuing tea sommelier credentials after teaching her yoga instructor about proper tea brewing methods.

🌟

Daily Life & Camaraderie

The day was rounded out with friendly social exchanges, night-time well wishes, updates on weather and chores, and a sense of camaraderie. Members like Kat B, Andrea and Lynn, and Ottum Raabe shared moments from their day, while John described an interesting guided cemetery and zoo walk. The group maintained a supportive, lighthearted, and engaged community atmosphere.

Great tea! And Thanks tea friends for the get well wishes. Feeling better today. Had the cinnamon tea this afternoon and it seemed to help with the fogginess and congestion.

12:00 am

A, I am so glad you are feeling better. I hope you are back to 100% soon.

12:59 am

Happy to hear that you’re on the mend, A.

01:16 am

That's great! Cinnamon does have detoxifying properties, I believe, so I'm sure it helped.

06:46 am

So glad that you are feeling better!

11:11 am

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well A but glad you are improving. Tea hugs! :)

02:10 pm

Oh no! I think I lost my chat streak again!

12:00 am

Guess today is day 1. Boy, over the years have had a lot of day ones! Feel your pain, hang in there!

12:09 am

Right there with ya

02:02 am

Long day at the polls has worn me out. Night CT! 💤💤💤

12:01 am

Thanks for working the polls, Bambi.

01:15 am

Cinnamon yum!

12:08 am

Good night

12:15 am

Have a wonderful Wednesday night, night, tea friends.

12:42 am

Good night 💤

12:45 am

:o There's an upload photo thing for me in the photos tab now. ...but like with the teamoji, when I try to upload one, nothing happens, in Chrome and Firefox on my computer, and in Firefox on my phone. :\

12:45 am

It's possible it may not function before Nov. 1. I think Illya is working toward that goal. Twyla may have more info 😘

01:31 am

🤞 The teamoji upload has never worked for me - it lets me pick a file, but then nothing happens after I do that. So hopefully the Communitea photo uses a different upload script than that~ 😊

02:39 am

I'll check in on Friday about the upload button... as times in the past.... we had issues uploading on the 1st. Also, with the teamoji button-- Did it not work for you, after a 30 day photo streak? Sometimes also, it won't upload certain types and sizes of files....

06:50 am

Second reply since I can't nest a reply any further. 😅 Does the teamoji require a photo streak? I don't have that, since I don't have the Communitea box. My visit streak says 740 and my chat streak says 613, in case that matters. 🤔 (The gap is how long it took me to stop being too anxious to be able to write my first message in here. 😂) And I was using an image that matches what the teamoji upload box says, a 60x60 png.

12:31 pm

Kathryn and Kami. The photo streak doesn’t affect the teamojis. Only your chat streak, and that’s only for certain ones.

10:18 pm

whelp, since I drank today's tea early, accidentally... I'm ahead of the game!

12:48 am

proactive!

10:44 pm

Goodnight everyone!

12:56 am

Goodnight everyone 💤

01:02 am

Cinnamon. Yum.

01:26 am

Paula, it is a tasty flavor, i hope you have a wonderful tea-sipping Sunday!

01:32 am

Michelle, for the most cinnamon flavor, I like to brew just the cinnamon chips, too. Have a beautiful tea-sipping day.

08:36 am

I'll have to try doing just cinnamon chips. :o

12:28 pm

Good night!

01:51 am

Whoops lost my chat streak yesterday. So glad cinnamon today. Love cinnamon teas. Had to pass bonfire off to my wife after a couple sips as I love lapsang, but just can't do hazelnut. If only so many of those other flavors would have shown through I think I would have liked it, but I didn't get any anise or cinnamon at all coming through. Can't love them all I suppose.

02:02 am

Good night!

02:11 am

Good morning tea folk.

03:32 am

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Wednesday! I hope your day is off to a great start. The middle child of the week is a busy one for me. Lots to do, so I thought I'd pop in to say hello, in case I can't later. Today's tea sounds good. I wonder if it's like some of the Christmas teas that are cinnamon forward. God bless and have a great day! 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

04:52 am

There are way too many informal holidays today! But wait, can there ever be too many things to celebrate? I love Lucy day, breast health day, global dignity day, handwashing day, hagfish day, day of rural women, pronouns day, love your body day, my mom is a student day, aesthetician day, cheese curd day, chicken cacciatore day, fossil day, grouch day, lemon bar day, mushroom day, pug day, real sugar, day, red wine day, Shawarma day, White crane safety day and sewing lovers day

06:35 am

I didn’t know day of rural women was a thing but I love that so much!

06:51 am

Totally COOL!

08:45 am

Ikr!

09:53 am

Hagfish Day is a day to celebrate the “beauty in ugly.” Hagfish are the only known animal with a skull and no spine. They have flexible cartilage instead. And they are masters of slime. Here’s a Deep Look: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=id1XEi7Jk7Y&pp=ygUHSGFnZmlzaA%3D%3D

08:32 am

I was feeling the Hagfish as well...

08:45 am

I debated arting up a hagfish with Gladys, but was unsure I could meet the challenge, perhaps next year ;)

09:53 am

Oh gosh that video almost made me gag...beware the slime!

02:55 pm

I'll go with handwashing day!

09:02 am

Handwashing day is awesome. It’s amazing now that it was a foreign thing for people for so long, but when doctors started washing their hands, a lot less people died. Downside though is knowing about germs if you have OCD as it can become an issue (I have had times where my hands were raw and cracked, but lotion is helpful. So is not working as way too many people left the restroom without washing their hands).

03:51 pm

Many good days today. I’ll take most of them.

09:12 am

Hard choice between cheese curds and mushrooms. I really like both! Hummmmm

09:22 am

Why choose? Celebrate both!

09:52 am

Yep. Both is great and both are great fried for an occasional treat.

03:46 pm

Yum...cheese curds, lemon bars, real sugar, mushrooms, and red wine, not together but all are delicious.

12:16 pm

That would be one heck of a meal, and possible tummy ache!

03:57 pm

I missed it until after the chat switched to a new day, but I like lowercase day~ 😊 I guess I celebrate that whenever I'm typing to myself - I leave all of the proper nouns and first words in the sentence lowercase. I decided a long time ago (2009...?) to try to stop being a perfectionist about editing and polishing my journal writing, and to help with that I stopped using capitalization so that my brain would see it as already "not perfect". It doesn't really help now because the ... novelty or whatever has long since worn off, but it did help initially, and the habit stuck.

12:27 pm

lower case day it is. see i can do it!

03:58 pm

You forgot Financial Aid Day!!

03:21 pm

Good one! Add it to the list! (or good one! add it to the list, for lowercase day!)

03:58 pm

I Love Lucy Day! I have the box set. She was amazing and often hired older actors and actresses so they could get SAG credits for the year to keep their health insurance. If you catch a clip of earlier work, she was actually an amazing singer. I read Desi was insecure so she acted like she was a terrible singer and then it became part of her routine.

03:44 pm

She was a great person!

03:58 pm

Morning

06:37 am

Good morning! I hope everyone has a great day ahead!

06:50 am

Already Wednesday...where is the week going?

07:09 am

Same place as this year I'd wager. How is it already mid October?

04:52 pm

Time for tea!

07:19 am

Good morning! I'm glad today's tea has caffiene!

07:30 am

Good morning all! I hope we have a wonderful Wednesday!

08:16 am

I'm concerned for Age and Sabby. Age hasn't posted yet...

08:23 am

I totally agree Ruth - I know Sabby is over 18 but still she is Age’s true companion and heart. All I can do is keep praying.

09:24 am

She has been on my mind all day ♥️

11:12 am

I keep praying she’s recovering

03:52 pm

Shared a lil Pic collage on CT pics of yesterday morning ...the lil trip to Padre Pio's Shrine for the Veneration of his Habit. The skies were absolutely beautiful over that area, whilst it was more GRAY and overcast...moreso North, where I am. Yesterday was a wonderfully invigorating and Spiritually High Vibe day for me. Inspiration, Peace and Solace. 🕊📿🕯🙏🏻🎑♾️🌄

08:49 am

Good morning 🌄 Going in to a training class this morning. Making a pot of rooibos cinnamon roll. Have a great day.

Good morning! Started the day with Irishman's Frosty Mint Cocoa Bliss and now sipping English Breakfast. https://www.adagio.com/238105

09:04 am

Good Morning Sweetie!

09:05 am

Cleaning up more of my million acorns this morning before work. Trying to get them up before the leaves fall on them. Three 5-gallon buckets so far and many more to go...ugh

09:04 am

You must have very mature trees, very large one, lots of them, or all three with that many acorns. Good luck beating the squirrels.

09:27 am

I have live oak tress that produce alot of acorns too. Unfortunately the squirrels prefer to pick my two pecan trees in my back yard CLEAN before they even hit the ground. Honestly, in their defense, I’d rather have a sweet pecan than a bitter acorn. Too bad we are more in the city part of the country, the deer would love to have the acorns I bet.

01:32 pm

Do you use the acorns? My son has a few oak trees and gathers them every year to put them in his compost, crushed of course. You can use it to make flour too.

12:25 pm

I know your pain. I have double duty with our live oaks. Acorns in the fall, and new leaves in the spring. They keep me busy. 😖

01:33 pm

I love love love today's Cinnamon Tæ. Its Magnifique with Bees Cinnamon and some crêmé❣️❣️❣️ Now I am onto tomorrow's herbal ...Double Ginger. How I have grown to LOVE that one. It so SOOTHING to the SOUL. 〰️💮🌸🦋📿🙏🏻🕊〰️

09:22 am

Good morning! I’m more rested today but am looking forward to a day off on Friday. Next week is Homecoming here at the university - lots of extra activities.

09:28 am

Good morning! Starting the day with a creamy chocolatey tea

09:52 am

Have a great day!

09:54 am

This cinnamon blend is one of my favorites!

Good morning, and a beautiful morning it is. We went for our walk and then grocery shopping prior to picking up our lunch from a local restaurant we have been wanting to try. This morning's tea was perfect for this day and, to me, tasted like my hubby's fried apples, which he just made two days ago. Of course I love the tin since it is Laddie the Snow Baby. It includes the tea of the day, Cinnamon, along with Vanilla and Spiced Apple Chai...oh yum! https://www.adagio.com/240408

10:53 am

Hi all

11:15 am

Hello!

11:20 am

Have a good day

11:45 am

Started my day with a cup of Irish Stout with a big scoop of honey to battle my itchy throat. Kids field trip to a pumpkin patch got canceled due to all the rain causing a muddy mess. It's rescheduled, but the kids were still a bit disappointed. I'll try making up for it by taking them to get some pumpkins after school.

11:58 am

Irish stout sounds so good right now

01:25 pm

Happy Wednesday! Why did the teddy bear decline dessert? Because he was stuffed.

12:05 pm

Hello tea friends! I'm enjoying a tea from Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan, it's Assam #8.

12:30 pm

I have an early grey bravo & and Ali Shan card to trade

12:37 pm

I had a chat with today’s yoga teacher about brewing tea at different temperatures. She wanted to know if the temperature really made a difference. I said green and white teas taste much better when steeped at temperatures below boiling. She told me that she learned quite a bit from me and I definitely should look into becoming a tea sommelier. Something to look into.

01:08 pm

It really does make such a difference. I love my variable temp tea kettle to help control it. Growing up and for much of my adult life, I just had the kind you hear on a stove and much harder to control

03:57 pm

A local tea shop offers tea sommelier classes and I thought about signing up. There are eight two hour classes. I’m not sure it would be worth it for me since I don’t know that I’d put it to good use. I may try one or two courses though.

04:55 pm

That sounds so fun

05:47 pm

Good tea today. Made two cups, one with a little sugar and the other with a teaspoon of honey. Both oh so delicious 😋

I need one more honeybush vanilla card to complete my sample. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to trade?

02:11 pm

Just made you a trade!

02:27 pm

Thanks, Katie!

07:20 pm

Today was a good black tea but I wished it had a stronger cinnamon flavor as I barely tasted it, even after brewing longer. I also tried the autumn mist green today but found the crème brûlée flavor overpowering. Not really a fan of caramel in my tea. Now on to a rose tea. Looking forward to tomorrow as I love ginger.

04:01 pm

You might like Sweet Cinnamon Spice, Kat. It has a much stronger taste of cinnamon.

10:23 pm

I'm so tired of tripping over black walnut husks. I don't understand why the big Mama squirrel that lives at the front of the house always eats her walnuts above the walkway in the back.

by Paige Hora

TRADE! Lets have fun and I trade ALL Day- into late Night and morning. Tea Card Sample- I would like a special Cards/s or sample. Big hugs and my Halloween Photo will be back tomorrow. I miss you all and dear grouchy Irishman says hello!

04:57 pm

Nice Cinna goodness

05:13 pm

💯

06:13 pm

Quick Sabby update, she still isn't eating, just licking broth, we got her baby food and she wouldn't eat that, im going to force feed her in a bit again, her vet called in pain meds which I'll give a lil after her force fed slurry, the appetite stimulant isn't helping either, I will also attempt an iv tonight, last night she was just fighting me so bad I couldn't do it but im hoping the pain meds will make it easier. I'm all over the place, I'm heartbroken, I just want my lil baby back to how she was Sat morning, the next step is hospitalization and that isn't even close to being affordable considering I can't afford my own health situation, or our house, or living in general, im so so sad. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and love yesterday, I'll swing by and thank everyone individually as soon as i can. We're sending love to everyone.💜

05:48 pm

I am so sorry Age. It is heartbreaking to see a loved furbably in such a state. I hope the meds fix her right up and her appetite returns. I think it is a good sign she will take a little broth. I remember doing IV hydration to my cat many moons ago. I found that I needed two people to hold down my cat to be able to administer the IV and also used a towel in a modified swaddle, like a baby swaddle. I am sure there are helpful videos out there these days. Hugs and support to you both.

06:10 pm

Dear, Age- I know what you are going through and I'm here for you. peanut was very sick in March for a few weeks and we almost lost him. We have been monitoring him back and forth to the vets and eating-drinking patterns., on every step as he got better He is like a puppy now, but I got grey hair and deeper bags under my eyes. lol. hang in there sweetie.

06:11 pm

glad you were able to update us. i wish Sabby all the best in healing thoughts. and comfort to you.

06:11 pm

Much Love to you, Age... You are in my Thoughts.

06:12 pm

Sending love, light, and healing energy! ❤️🐈‍⬛

07:00 pm

Sending lots of love and positive thoughts for you and Sabby !

07:01 pm

I'm sorry, Age. I'm praying for you and Sabby. Hugs to you both.

07:10 pm

Our house can relate to your anxiety and stress. We’ve had a few scares with our oldest pupper. Not to long ago his CHF was affecting his breathing to a point where he was gasping. Hugs to you and soft chin scratches to Sabby.

07:45 pm

Sending you so much love

07:46 pm

Age, we are all there with you, giving you the strength to take care of your sweet fur baby. I know you are giving her the best care possible, and I am sure she knows that too. Hugs and much love.

07:47 pm

Hugs for you and Sabby~ :c 🤗

07:49 pm

I’m so sorry, Age. Sending lots of love to you and Sabby.

09:08 pm

I’ve had to do iv fluids(kidney issues). My Jewels was a saint getting her fluids daily for three years. It’s so hard, my heart aches for you Age.

10:14 pm

Praying for you and Sabby, Age.

10:26 pm

gosh its only october, but boy is the brrr hitting, almost time to turn the heaters on.

06:10 pm

Oh how I’d love some of that, we’re still in the low 90’s.

07:51 pm

our high is 64 today with a low of 40

07:54 pm

Just opened my selefina honey powder And suggested uses or tips? TIA

06:15 pm

Yes! I love it sprinkled on Zoi Honey Vanilla Yogurt, in tea, in coffee, and just about anywhere you want a dash of honey goodness.

06:33 pm

Ive lightly sprinkled it on non glazed donuts, frosted sugar cookies, on top of vanilla ice cream, and powdered cashews with it.

Had some yummy Monster Mash today.

07:13 pm

Today's tea is nice, but I think it's better sweetened for me.

07:22 pm

I, too, have done the IV for my cat. It wasn't easy, and my Tootsie was very sweet but even she knew I wouldn't be able to do it everyday! Very tough situation to be in.😔

07:59 pm

Good evening everyone. I hope you enjoyed the cinnamon tea!

08:13 pm

I just LOVE the Greek Mountain tea, especially ICED... Its been my Evening WInd-down sip....

08:26 pm

Working more on the xmas gift for the niblings. The end is finally in sight!

08:34 pm

Goodnight, all! Pleasant dreams. ☕️

09:44 pm

Good evening, Adagians. I took today's cinnamon in my ToasTEA and amplified it with a little sweet cinnamon spice for more cinnamon punch.

09:51 pm

Goodnight all

10:37 pm

Did a little guided cemetery walk tonight learned about some interesting people there and fun info about iconography and symbolism in tombstone pictures/sculptures and kind of want to learn more there. It was followed by night time walk through the adjacent zoo with red lights to not disturb the animals and lots of I fo about the specific animals at our zoo.

10:49 pm

Wednesday fun!!! Pop up Halloween bar!

10:58 pm

I love cinnamon so much. I'd eat cinnamon sticks when I was a kid.
