Thursday TeaDay 11/12/09 TeaPrep at work, school?

Ok, not to beat my thermos to death...

...but unless I want to drink bagged stuff, this is my only recourse.
Not that I'm complaining, I like it a lot, but at work, I have only a mere a tribicle. (And that's not even assigned. I just have to find an unoccupied one every shift.) There is no way I can keep what I need to make decent tea at work, not even a gaiwan.
Not to mention, the place is a den of thieves, I wouldn't leave anything I care about there even if I had a place to do so.
Using the thermos, all I need is a hot water dispenser.
I'd have to say enjoying tea at work does not happen often, but I try.

^ Although I've had assigned office space, it was usually shared space and at least two workplaces were, indeed, 'a den of thieves'.

Depravitea was one of the examples I had in mind of successful workarounds - that handy thermos.

Wuyi oolong in my cup.

I have a little tea space set up near my desk, but my enjoyment is limited by how busy we are with daily deadlines. Usually my tea is drastically cooled before I can drink it.

A cup of Den's Yame Fukamushi and Zuiko! Loving these!

Started the TeaDay with Pedro Garden Orange Pekoe from Imperial Teas UK, unfortunately no longer available. This is by far the best Ceylon ever. Very light and green, much like a FF Darjeeling. Delicious!

Next up - AliShan from Camellia Sinensis

My department lounge boasts an electric water pot besides the obligatory coffee maker. That plus a simple mug infuser, and all is well. I keep it pretty casual--part of the enjoyment is the occasional unpredictability of the results...

Chunshan Silver Needles at the moment. I can't even recall what came earlier; it's been that sort of day.

My tea at work involves a mug and an infuser basket with a very forgiving oolong and the hot water from the hot/cold water dispenser in the break room two doors from my cubicle. I've considered bringing other tea ware than my silly mug, but decided that I would rather keep the good stuff at home where it is safe. I try not to forget about the tea, except when people distract me or want things done immediately, which happens all too much. Most of the other people in the office keep a mug or a soda bottle with them at all times so I keep my tea with me too. It works relatively well, but could definitely be better.

I had some Masala Chai from Lochan earlier today.

HI Depravitea -- where is your thermos from? I know that Imperial Tea Court has something similar (see here)but that doesn't look like the same one
