When you feel that no one understands your weird fascination with tea…until you find steepster and realize that you’re not the only one!

When you realize, with horror, that you aren’t following some of your favorite people on Steepster. (literally just happened to me while reading old pages on this thread.)

I just bought a whole pound of tea !! (darjeeling diamond Ayra Estate!) Could get my hands on it for 50% of the price…. Yeh…. doing a happy dance in my living since yesterday afternoon.

Can literally take a bath in the amount of tea that I got, but this one… is just yummie, yummie yummie. Will stalk the postman (parcel due tomorrow – when I am at work :((!! fear I won’t get it before Sunday!

Speaking of taking baths in tea, I have done that. Dropping sachets out of beautifying teas into the tub is something I do quite often.

That’s some dedication to a single tea xD I don’t know if i’ve found one I love quite that much.

When you already have more teas than you can drink down in a year and you’re trying to justify buying some spring 2015 teas! (And tacking on some teaware at the same time!)

I know the feeling.

I was just going to post this same thing. I don’t need tea. I really don’t. I’m working on drinking my stuff down by doing more lattes and I’m going to start icing it too, but I just can’t drink it all fast enough and yet I still want more! I’ve really cut down on my buying, but it’s still tempting to get more.

Ubacat said

It sure is tempting!

I don’t buy loose tea only those in foil or individually wrapped. i even forced friends and relatives to help me drinking them..hahaha

When watching a tense moment in suspense/thriller on television and the thought in your head is, “hmmm that’s a very nice tea cup she’s holding…”

There was tea in Daredevil!! I thought I was insane when in all that hubbub, I notice the tea.

sren said

Exactly! So funny

That made me think of the movie “Winter’s Tale” when she offers him some lapsang souchong tea.

When watching a clip from Arrow and you notice Harney and Sons tea on Felicity’s desk

When 3 packages of tea arrive in the daily post and your response to 2 of them is “yay, it came!” and for the third, “Wow, I totally forgot about that order. Yay!”

I did that yesterday. Tea Gschwendner order came, I couldn’t even remember what I ordered.

sren said

Oh no! A tea company I hadn’t heard of yet! At this point I can’t trust myself to even check them out. ;)

hahahah I love those surprises xD

I didn’t read all of the responses, so I apologize if I’ve repeated any. Anyway, you know you’re addicted to tea when you have an entire cupboard in your kitchen for tea only and another cupboard for tea ware.

lololol. I second that! I bought two old kitchen cabinets from Habitat for Humanity’s resale warehouse and both are full of tea and teaware!

I have half a book stand filled with tea plus my pu-erh stored elsewhere.

When you are very organized in your tea storage but you just don’t have enough storage space so they spill over and appear everywhere in your apartment.

Oh man this is so me.

My stash is in three different places around the house…and so is my teaware. I have a small room and live with my family.

Janie Teo said

hahahaha glad to know i am not alone

or when you open the stash door and tea is literally thrown at your face… best feeling xP

When you begin thinking what tea you want to take on vacation in the fall. (Okay not to bad but wait for it) When you also begin thinking on what teas you want for your college stash….and you won’t be at college until Fall 2016. I have a big problem. Send help. Maybe send one of those rescue Saint Bernards, with tea in the keg around its neck!
