Wednesday TeaDay 8/27/08 Tea and appetite?

[Wosret]

Now, I am not statician but isn't the poll question truly flawed? Read it again and think of how accurate the results will be.

ROFL! I guess it's asking us whether tea affects the appetite (in our opinion), not how it does so...

*facepalm* I need to change my answer, then!

The poll has been bandaged. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok, so university began this week and today has been my first day of studying hard since the spring. Began early like a good student and was finished one hour ago. But god, I do feel SO tired now. And I have been working full time during the summer and never got this exhausted. Think I need some big mug of really strong black TEA. Or two mugs. Or three

a big cup of tea this size?

as far as tea/appetite issues. i don't think it's changed anything for me. i sure wish it had.

Now that's a teacup! And what a big smile!

I thought you said a big cup!

[hop_goblin]

MY GOD! If your cup is that big I would hate to see your teapot!

[Geekgirl]

Haha! I love that "teacup."

Lol! No, not really. I'm definitly not a fan of those cups that you can swim in

i'm in a rather girlie mood, so i decided to drink out china today. here's a sencha i made, but for some reason the coloring seems to be off.

I have also lost several pounds in the last few months of increased tea drinking. I believe that it is due to choosing a cup of tea over junk food.

No time to drink tea today...too busy planning a evacuation trip! However a cup of green tea could do wonders for my nerve right now. I'm off to start packing! I will be packing an ample supply of tea.

Gustav leave New Orleans alone!!!

Very pretty. This one may actually be just a little too feminine for me. At least it doesn't have ruffles.

Sometimes I think tea does suppress my appetite. Mostly when I am actually drinking it, perhaps the habit of drinking acts as a sub for eating. But I am one of those people who can eat w/out worrying about weight gain. Plus I train actively.

Today so far, Adagio Golden Monkey and finishing a spectacular session of Fukamushi Supreme. I need another tea soon before I head out for a while.

Nice photos everyone. Sencha in a girly cup, I have not tried that yet.

That HUGE mug reminds me of my first official teaware purchase, one of many early mistakes since I used it a month and it has since sat idle for almost 9 years. The thing weighs a ton!!!

What Trey said: it suppresses it for a little while, but then it comes roaring back (the point of getting the shakes, if I'm not careful!).

Sal, beautiful photo! You should put together a book with all your tea photos. It would make a great, umm, coffee table book?

Beidao, I like your pics too.

Today is the first day of school related faculty meetings for me. I've switched from my usual sencha selection to some good STRONG black tea. It was in a cannister that I didn't label and I've been away from campus and my school tea stash for the summer so I actually don't know what kind it is! I think it's organic yunnan black because the leaf is tippy like the stuff I have at home and has that nice high octane buzzzzzz that you get from yunnan. ZING!!!!

Tea, especially teas with lots of caffeine seem to suppress my appetite. Hmmmm....Although a some granola, fruit, and or chocolate synergies with tea nicely to create SUPER ENERGY!!!!

Tea definitely does nothing to suppress my appetite -- if anything, it makes me hungrier, or at least crave the taste of food.

So far, some Tie Luo Han to get me through a day of studying.
