My tongue gets tired of mentioning tea to almost every single soul I meet during the day, the guy who packs my groceries, my kids pre-teen buddies, I suspect all that nodding and smiling is a kindness everyone shows me but in truth they are bored sick and think I am a utter nutter. Having some shirts to show potential tea-heads out there that I exist and want to commune with them without having to gab constantly at the uninterested and uninitiated is going to be helpful. Am I overly optimistic about this? More than likely! Will my optimism and hope wither and die? Absolutely not! Readers, you know me. I am fighting the good fight, loving what is there to be loved and all about connecting and sharing with others. And my goodness, how much longer can I go without having real people to sit on the other side of my tea table to pour tea for? I can't go solo forever.
So, yes, I love Teaprints and hope to slowly replace all my non-messaging clothing with shirts and hoodies and hats, and um....... sweatpants that say 'DRINK TEA' on the ass...... or, maybe not.
If my ass were younger perhaps. If my younger ass were single, but, yeah, none of that is gonna happen. So! Shirts, hats, hoodies totes, all that is a definite GO however! I will reach out beyond this blog and the social internet and meet people in my very own town to gongfu brew with! My CHI is loving and overflowing with optimism and my new hoodies message of 'KEEP CALM AND GAIWAN ON' is my message to the world. And if someone asks me 'Hey, what is a gaiwan?' then I will just pull out my travel set, sit their bottoms down wherever we happen to be and make them some TieGuan Yin oolong tea right then and there. It could happen. Anything could!
To wrap it up, I love the high-quality material of the hoodie Teaprints was so kind to send me and I am inspired to reach out more everyday to share my love of tea.
