Small earthquake, no worries. But I do think I should consider something else soon.

Nice work Geek. How does one begin chewing up the floor?
Make me re-think the doggie option I've been considering.
Hummm.

Some violet perfumey tea this afternoon at work. I've had it four times now and my thoughts are not coming together to review it properly.
I have to say more then, "it's ok for flavored", but it is.

So warm this evening I have the window open. May just sleep with open.

Tea gives me a soothing calm. Black will occasionally give me a little buzz and pu erh will always give me a buzz. I think this is why I like green, oolong and white the most.

Long jing in my cup today

Ended up with the last of a cardamom-ginger black tea instead of matcha. Dinner turned out a little more complicated than planned, and my roommate wanted some, so I figured it was time to finish that tea off. One of the only ones I have to drink with honey - it does change the taste, but definitely for the better.

Impressive! But looks like you had a little helper!

Finishing the TD off with the remains of the day ...

I can definately feel the effects of the caffeine in tea. It ususally isnt bouncing off the walls, but it is enought to break through the fog and get me going.

I almost never get any caffeine buzz, not from tea, not from coffee.

Usually no other effects either however, some greens seem to increase blood circulation and my feet, hands and face get warm. Drinking them on an empty stomach can make me feel quite sick and I get the need to eat something to alleviate it.

Sheng makes me sweat.

I can still remember the one time I got a real buzz from coffee-after having done really, really boring, repetitive work for about 8 hours straight and my mind was numb. I got a cup from the coffee machine at work. That machine brewed really strong coffee and after a little while it was like feeling my neurons light up one by one and my tiredness just disappeared.

Hasn't happened since. :(
