Monday TeaDay 11/09/09 Traveling Tea?

[Chip]

Sorry for your loss, Victoria.

I would say 80% of the time I am on the road, I have a cheap, thick glass pitcher of tea and a small 3 ounce inexpensive rice cup in the cup holders, but it is always a 4th or 5th steep or similar ... never a first steep. For me, it is like bringing a bottle of water ...

Began the TD with Fukamushi Supreme from O-Cha. SweeTea joined in while Pyrit and Wulong were foolish bystanders. Next up a tasting of Zuiko from Den's.

If I am not driving, I will drink water. Rarely drink tea or coffee in the car, but I will take a thermos with me for breaks when working at a job site. I always take mug, infuser and looseleaf tea when traveling.

Mao Feng Supreme in my cup. Estate Assam started the day. Greener Dong Ding up next.

Most of the time, I bring along a travel mug full of tea. I'm a passenger--no distractions.

Thinking I need a nice cup of roasted TGY to lift my mood. Only 4pm and already getting dark.

Always have a nice BIG cup of iced Green. It just makes driving more enjoyable with a Iced green and some classic tunes from the 70's blasting on Sat radio!

"Yes virtually everytime" is my answer. If on vacation I am always bringing tea with me and the equiptment needed to make it. If I cannot or decide not to bring the loose stuff I will always have a bottle of Green AnTEAdote with me at ALL times regardless.

Thanks Chip.

Some Tao of Tea Baozhong to finish my TeaDay.
I am thinking of try a chamomile tea pod in my Keurig
coffee maker this evening. Wish me luck.

I have a travel mug filled with either tea or water with me at all times, especially while traveling. If I am going out any where, I will brew a mug of tea just to bring with me. My current travel mug is a Contigo that I got on sale at Target. It is the best travel mug that I have owned. It does not leak, keeps my tea hot for many hours and is an awesome shade of green.

Happy Monday (or Tuesday already!),

Yep, if I'm driving on a trip (or riding while someone else is driving) I generally have tea in my stainless steel travel mug. Of course, there is not much chance of leaving home with brewed tea and carrying it on plane, so that idea is a non-starter

I've even been known to slip a couple of scoops of matcha into a water bottle in the middle of a car trip for a little delightful green hydration

Since I live pretty close to my office, I generally don't sip tea on the way. I carry tea in my briefcase bullet thermos for when I get there (I used to carry it in my travel mug, but that didn't keep it as warm and there was always a bit of a chance that I would spill some.)

Today in my cup...The last of my Black Spiral..time to reorder. This afternoon/evening some wonderful fuka sencha.

Live well,
Dreamer

I don't drive so at least I'm not forced to do that precarious balance of coordination that requires! I've been looking around for a good thermos to take tea with me on the bus, but I haven't found any good ones that won't land me with cold tea in 20 minutes.

Just finished a cup of Adagio's Yunnan Jig.

Oh yeah, almost all the time, whether it's my trusty tea thermos from Xiu Xian, or something bagged in a travel mug, there is some kind of tea at hand.
