Like many others, I agree with Victoria. I do end up with a lot of organic products since some of them taste better to me, or only come in organic like the soy or almond milks. If a tea is organic, I have nothing against buying it, but if it is not organic and tastes better than the organic tea, I would rather buy the better tasting tea.Victoria wrote:Other - because I will choose organic where I have the choice, but I do not seek out only organic.
Oh me too Ck, I was at work till 7:30 pm that was 11.5 hours for me today with no official lunch break. Just a couple cups of tea and a few stops by TeaDay.Cinnamon Kitty wrote: My tea consumption was low today. I only managed two mugs of Irish Breakfast tea.

Your day sounds worse than mine. I had a lunch break at least. I worked 8:30 to 5:15ish and then didn't get home until 11pm after running errands that needed to be done tonight. Somehow I failed at stopping home to make a quick travel mug of tea to take with me. Hopefully the weekend will allow for the drinking of many teas.Victoria wrote:Welcome choiceofbeverage!

I have written here and there about these tou cha...won't do too much good telling you because I got them in 1999 when I wanted to try anything tea, hated it at first try, and as usual...did not throw it away. They are from SpecialTeas. They still have the same item number last time I looked...but could not tell you if they are any good.
Found them again in 2006, kinda liked it but still wasn't ready to go the pu-erh route, set them in a bowl thinking I would use them if they were readily available...2 years later, I am finally getting around to them.
To say I abused these tou cha is a gross understatement. But they are paying dividends. If all pu-erh was this easy....
These are great for away from home, as long as you can find boiling water. The leaf just sits on the bottom, no major teaware needed. But they brew easily 8-10 times.
