Whatever tea I want to drink is the tea I take with me wherever I'm going. Working at home (like doing what I'm avoiding doing right now by hanging out here, for example) means my favored brew. If I take tea in the car I just brew at home and put into a thermos and take it with me.

Today I am again trying the Yunnan Gold Tips from Ito En. Very mellow - I am enjoying playing with the brew.

I take ok tea.
No way I'm going to screw up good tea by trying to make it at work.
Not to mention, I definitely won't enjoy it.

I hate my job :)

I usually take good or great tea to work, either already brewed in my thermos or as loose tea to make there. At work my tea buddy usually brews something for us...it is occasionally good/great, but frequently ok and sometimes bad.

Today I took Ceylon Vithanakande (oops, now I'm out of this tea!). We made Mate Vane (mmmm, good chocolatey mate blend). This afternoon, O-cha Kabusecha was in my sweet Hagi-offer #8 hagi cup.

Happy weekend,
Dreamer

I don't tend to bother with tea at work or uni aside from occasionally sticking some matcha in a bottle of water.

Drinking some not very good shu pu

I have a bag of TGY from Wegmans in my desk drawer at work. It is definitely an okay tea, but not something I would classify as great. In the mornings, I will make a good, black tea for my travel mug, but any of the awesome stuff gets left to savor at home.
