Tuesday TeaDay 9/7/10 Fave TeaPairings?

[Cael]

I love tea with my food. I also love choosing teas that will go well with a meal. All I have in the house right now, unfortunately, is my Assam, so that is what I am drinking. At least it is yummy and tasty.

Like many other TeaChatters, my favorite activity to go with tea is reading. But the most frequent activity is working. Hey, it's all good.

I've had no tea today! Out of the house and busy with stuff. Woe is me.

Tea and TeaChat was mine, I would've chose Tea and my gf, but that wasn't an option. lol. I generally enjoy tea with anything though, food, tv, movies, music.

Moroccan Mint today...had a big of an upset stomach earlier.

I say go for it! While the Kuwei will shine through much more strongly, the flavors will as well. I almost always like young Shengpu better with this amount of leaf, even with the added bitterness.

I just realised how much tea I cram into my little sheng pot. My Bangwai sample from Nada/OTTI that arrived today is 9g, I put in half of it then put in all of it and still thought "looks awful empty". No wonder my wife passes when I offer her young sheng. I must be shooting around 12g/120ml.

Kind of like a seasoned heroin addict needing more and more to get his fix!

Wow, that is kind of mind blowing. I am at the 4 gram or so stage ... such a neophyte I am.

I also chose tea and reading, books, the computer, newspapers, etc..

Tortoise, I feel your pain lol, our dishwasher hasn't been working for the last few months and sometimes I drink tea while hand washing dishes too!

No tea for me tonight, too tired to brew, been up since 4:15 am, goodnight my TeaChat friends.

The OTTI's have been quite an eye opener for me, I'm not too keen on measuring stuff, using the thermometer was fun but only lasted a few days. Even with something like sencha I think I tend to start with more leaf and higher temps than most and finish up drinking almost water way after most have stopped.

Tea and Cigar. All the good and bad will be bare naked, can't hide the truth from both leaves.

[Corona]

I chose Other....I enjoy so many different "TeaPairings". I know Reading, Writing, Studying, Eating, Mustic, and more. Just a nice relaxing drink helps these things move along nice and peacefully..

tea and movies...a combination I share with my gf

started teaday with matcha matsu and then fuga super premium.

tea and movies...a combination I share with my gf

Never worked for me. Tea needs light, movies need dark. Tea means doing stuff, movies mean doing nothing. Starting a movie with a cup is nice, maintaing tea throughout movie is a no go for me, unless it's a movie I don't want to watch, then tea becomes paramount.

the multitasking was never an issue for me...I never had a problem brewing tea and knowing what was happening in the movie at the same time

though...I am a multitasker.

[Skippyandjif]

Tea and reading for me! Especially tea and manga. ^_^ Studying comes in second, then drawing/sewing third (because there is always that danger of spilling one's tea all over one's work).

Today contained a lot of tea and studying... Lapsang souchong this afternoon, followed by some iced green tea later. I just finished some pouchong.

[Chip]

Not quite sure how to answer today's poll since I do a lot of these things. Seems I ask questions I cannot answer pretty often.

OK, I will just go with music after thinking about this all day.

Great TeaDay. Began with 2 nice sencha followed by a Pu-OTTI tasting of the Yiwu with the Mrs. The Yiwu was particularly interesting!

Currently sipping on steep 9 or 10 of the Yiwu.

Music, Food, Cooking, Photography, TeaChat - all good ones.
...

+1!

(voted for TV tho, cause every morning I begin with matcha and TV, The Daly Show to be more precise).
