NYC Tea Meet-Up- Sunday, September 29th- Bellocq Teas & Taste of France Festival

Both green tea fairy and are here too. I am in a purple shirt!

It was so much fun meeting you guys. I would love another meetup. My schedule is nuts until mid September. What about the week of the 15th?

I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding that weekend and I’m doing a trail run festival the next. How about the weekend of Sept 28-29th?

Agreed! I’d also love to do another meetup – maybe Bosie? Although I’m equally up for something more adventurous. I could do the week of the 15th, any day other than Wednesday. The week of the 22nd would also be good.

It was great meeting you all too!

That’s a good day for me! Bosie would be ok, but I’m kind of intrigued by the idea of Bellocq now!

If we’re doing a weekend meetup, I’d also be up for Bellocq.

Yeah, I was thinking that was the whole reason for doing a weekend. Yay!

They’re only open from noon to five. Should we get there at noon or 12:00?

noon or 12:00? Well if I have a choice I’d have to pick noon. :-)

That would work for me. Could we maybe meet at the closest subway station, or some other slightly more central location, and head over together? I suspect I’ll get lost otherwise.

Well we wouldn’t want anyone getting lost among the warehouses! Guess we’re just waiting on Nicole now to see if she can make it.

I should be free on the 29th too :)

Woohoo! I’ll update the Topic heading! :-)

How about everyone meet at the Greenpoint G stop at noon? Then we can all walk over together.

Sounds good!

Great!

We’re still doing this, right?

Yup!

As it turns out, I can make it after all. Exci-tea-d to meet more Steepsters!

Yippee!

Works pretty much like an expresso machine (I actually think it was just a slightly modified expresso machine) – high pressure water through tightly compressed tea leaves to increase the strength of the tea.

My teapuccino was serious. I was wired. It was pretty interesting.

Ooh! THat sounds like fun!

You’re at Bellocq today? The meet-up is Sunda, Sept 29th. Today is the 8th.

Well I’m sorry you had to go by yourself, but did you at least get some good tea out of it? :-)

Yes, did you try anything?

Yup! It was still a lot of fun- I forget the name of the guy that was there but he was really nice and helpful. I just had the phoneix, which I liked but I don’t think I would get again. I got mulberry leaf, bellocq breakfast, darjeeling flush and noble savage, but I didn’t try those yet.

I came back and my roommates asked “Did you buy MORE tea? When are you going to drink all this?” LOL! :)

I’m glad you enjoyed your trip there. And I think we’ve all had that moment that you had with your roommate with someone or another. :-)
