I would love to have an office, but I just have a desk and one shelf. I have a tin with good quality teabags, an indestructible mug, access to a microwave, and city water. That's as good as it gets.

Yunnan gold for my "4:00 pm teatime." It's not 4:00 here, but hey, it's 4:00 somewhere in the world right now.

My work teaware is a cast off thermal coffee mug that I got free while attending a conference. I throw a tea bag in and - voila! I had dreams of a tea centre in my office, having been inspired by what some of you have accomplished at your work. However......

Chiran sencha this morning and this evening I feel a Yunnan gold craving coming on.

I know it's not English, but Chamraj sounds like some crusty gunk that form on a teapot or something. Glad it tastes better than it sounds? :D
:lol:

Not much tea today, spent most of the day researching appliances.
Not fun. Finally took the plunge though, a new oven and fridge are on the way and at 1/2 price too. Yay! Of course now I no longer have an excuse as to why not have the Christmas family dinner at our house. But I milked that one for about 5+ years, heh.

Camellia Sinensis AliShan was the last tea of the day.

I just got a Nissan tea thermos for my birthday and I'm still working out what I can conveniently brew in it. Before that I found a package of 60 fillable teabags for $2 and was filling them with tea before work.

Bagged, unless I bring my thermos.
