I have a tale of sadness that only fellow tea drinkers would really understand. Last night I came home from gaming, exhausted and feeling like utter death and instead of leaving my travel thermos either in the kitchen or on the shelf where it is safe, I left it on my tea desk. While lying in bed reading before sleep I head the sound of cats wrestling (as they do) and an ungodly smash. Yep, it broke, shattered into several pieces because I was too dumb to take care of my tea gear properly. Of course I can’t afford to get a new one, it took months for me to save up to get this one…and since I am traveling in about a month (the main reason I got this thing) I am in a massive funk over it. Ben seeing me crying on the floor clutching the broken remains of the beloved tea thermos offered to buy me a new one…

but of course Tealux no longer carries this specific kind, so I have to go searching for a new cheap glass travel thermos. Sigh, this sucks, I already miss my trusty travel thermos.

I’m sorry, I feel your pain. My cats are adventurous little buggers and have broken many imported Japanese cups and teapots in their time. Some were one off items :( I hope you find something replace it soon.

May I suggest the one by World Market /cost plus? It goes for around $10,but it’s a bit smaller

Anlina

Oh no! I hope you find an awesome replacement in time for your travels.

Bio

I am a nerdy, obsessive, crafty, tea blogging, gaming nut. Yeah, that about sums me up! Ok, you want something more informative….

I am a Geek, hardcore fan-girl Geek. It shapes my life. I spend a large chunk of my life painting miniatures and contemplating my various army layouts. I hoard dice, get obsessed with games, and will talk about whatever fandom, game, etc that I am obsessed over until I am blue in the face. I am not just a gamer girl type Geek, I also fit in the collecting knowledge and spending way too much time reading and researching category of Geek.

But there is more to me than just being a giant nerd. I love tea, always have and have just gotten more and more obsessed as I get older. I love trying new teas and then writing lengthy descriptions about them on my blog, I love reading and researching the history and culture of tea, I love collecting tea pots and fancy tea tools.

When the weather allows it, I love to go mushroom hunting. I don’t eat them, instead I use them for photography and spore prints. I love nature and worked as a Naturalist in the Northwoods one summer, it might have been the best job ever.

I have Fibromyalgia, it sucks, but I feel people who are going to interact with me should know since I tend to vanish because of it so fair warning! I do tend to not vanish very long though. Also I have some ‘social disorders’ which basically translates to I am really awkward and bad at socializing, so forgive any lack of social graces.

I also have cats, love the ocean and all aquatic life, have teal hair, love cheese, and collect hats.

My favorite tea is definitely Oolong, but I also love Japanese greens and…ok I just love tea actually :P I am not a huge fan of lemony black teas or tart fruit teas. I also loathe hibiscus (usually)

This is my actual tea wishlist, you know that I actually update and keep track of…I tend to forget Steepster’s https://www.facebook.com/notes/amanda-wilson/tea-wishlishtshopping-list-perpetually-in-progress/10152336515414411 I use my steepster WL to keep track of teas I have had and really want more of :P
