In my cup this afternoon, Lochan's Jungpana Autumn Delight.
Autumnal teas just like the bite of a good FF Darjeeling.

Make that a fourth here with praises for the home work environment ...


Today I started with a bit more of the Tie Kwan Yin from from Cha Ma Gu Dao - light/med roast, beautiful gorgeous unfurled leaves, buttery flavor, lemony golden color. Welcome back, oolong.

And now... Singbulli Oolong in the cup from the same source. Just about to take the first sip now. Like Victoria said ... Darjeeling autumnal feeling ...

Today I shared some no name Taiwan oolong with my colleague. We ended up chatting for more than 1 hour :P That's why some places in China banned gongfu style tea in offices :P

Ha! I believe it! That's what tea is for if you ask me :-)

I'm not sure whether tea is a help or a hindrance to my studies, as it eats up a large chunk of my day, but it helps me focus and it improves my mood and relaxes me causing me to be more productive.

We had a water dispenser that has both hot and cold water, but that is all. I bring in my own tea. At least the hot water does not taste like coffee and it is a good enough temperature for a greener oolong, though I do not think it is quite up to boiling temperature.

I went to go make a cup of tea (Castleton from the Lochan Tasting) to relax with this evening, but found that my fat cat, Pixie, had claimed my Zoji has her own heat source. Thankfully, she didn't break anything.

Work does not provide anything other than cold water, and a microwave that I don't use anyway. But that's ok.

Tried Snowbud white tea last night....not too bad!

Today I had a cup of adagio black dragon pearls. I had a cup of iced tea. And a cup of sleepy time from celestial seasonings.
