I don't have a fixed scedule for tea. I have some when I feel like it. The only 'time' I scedule to have tea is for the Saturday Video chat sessions.

I just got home from a 11 hour shift, going to sleep now and then I get to work after I wake up...

In my cup - exhaustion liquefied

I don't think I am scheduling my tea times with the exception of morning brew!

Started the day with Chiran YM from O-Cha. Sweetie likes YM, Wulong just wanted to be shoulder top. Her newest trick is from the ground, running straight up to my shoulders just like she is on flat ground. She will also kowabanga from any piece of furniture and land directly on my shoulders. Crazy.

Had Adagio's Sencha Premier and needing another tea. :arrow: Next!
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I have no schedule.

I haven't had tea in three days. Seriously. I've been craving water instead, and drinking big glasses of it. I'm starting to think about tea again, though. Maybe a nice cup of the Big Red Robe that just came in from TeaSource...

Having Karigane blended with Sencha Overture to celebrate! A pretty tame celebration.

5000 posts. Congrats Chip.

I guess some might say I am a bit scheduled, but it is so general, I am ready for tea when I am ready for tea. Maybe that happens at the same times a lot.

Nice teaday! Sencha from O-Cha, Sencha from Adagio, Sencha from O-Cha. :D

Did you break the counter? My screen shows post number 5000 for your last two posts in this thread. I think you're maxed out!

Free at last, free at last, thank Tea Almighty...

Schedule tea? Nope, not any more. It used to be between 2nd and 3rd periods run like the winds of Hades to the cafeteria and beg for a cup of boiling water. Toss bag or loose in, put the top on and run back to the lab. Hide cup under desk, taking surreptitious sips between students.

The next time for tea was at 1, if the cafeteria wasn't too crazy and the wonderful cafeteria goddesses could fill my cup with boiling (or close to it) water.

No more tea opportunities until I got home, around 11. I usually put a couple pots of tea into me (decaf after 11) while working.

Now I get tea when I want! Free from schedules at last!

Weekends are a tea free for all. Work days structure my tea time. I have a cup first thing in the morning and a great travel mug for my commute. I have another dose after supper. One thing I never structure though is what tea I drink. I follow the dictates of my random tea cravings.

Schedule? Nah. I drink tea whenever I want!

Like right now. (Alishan, again. I stocked up on roasted TKY, but for some reason the cold weather is actually making me crave the green floral stuff. Go figure.)

I'm definitely on a schedule. If I'm not sleeping of working I'm drinking tea.

On the weekend when I am much less scheduled, my tea schedule is the same and then purely depends on my mood.

Oh dear. I have forgotten what tea I had this morning. It's going to be one of those days. But on the up side, I continue to smell good thanks to Victoria. My hero! Uh, heroine!
:lol:
Thanks!! A perfume that makes you forget your tea, Hummmm
must be a nice one. :)
