Following the Tour de Thé theme, perhaps to an extreme. In bicycling terms, what is your tea style? Have fun with this ... in other words, try not to take this too seriously.

I love the variety of images available on photobucket!!! There are some real creative photogs out there.
Sheesh, that last picture is incredibly sexy! TeaPorn at it's finest. I can feel the cha qi just gazing at it. . .

I'm more of a Hakuna Matatta tea drinker. I read other's posts, order some suggestions, order some new. Don't have attention span for timers, etc . . . it's all good somehow.

Nice to have you back Pentox.

I think it may be a shout out to Hobbes for those lovely images earlier.

Some everyday mao jian from Jing today, it was nice to open a fresh bag of green tea as it's been a few weeks. And some Giddapahar 1st flush Darjeeling, the mao jian wiped the floor with it.

After about five minutes I have no idea how to answer the poll but my cycling life has become much more pleasurable since my dad gave my old Puch a makeover and the sun has been out in Glasgow. Maybe just a tea habit like my tourer bike, cobbled together from bits old & new and keeping me happy.

I'm a minimalist. I put tea in hot water, and somehow, it all works out in the end. I think I need my own special bike path for those of us who are "just enjoying the scenery."

My mind is so boggled from the choices after tutoring a friend in math this evening that I really don't have an answer. All I know is that tea is awesome and explaining matrices and linear equations to someone who has never seen them before is not. We got through it, but my brain hurts. Thankfully, I had tea to help me through it.

In my cup: a rather cold final steep of YM.
