I chose "completely veg" because I love when I actually get to do that. I drink tea all day, but generally I most enjoy the cups I have first thing in the morning, lying on the couch, reading Teachat... and my after-work cups, snuggling the dog who's missed me all day, sometimes reading teachat or a book or watching some kind of TV fluff. Even though I may be engaged in "doing something" while I drink tea, all of those activities are a mental veg-out for me.
In my cup this morning... a 2nd infusion of some Wuyi Ensemble from last night, accompanying a lovely omelet and toast... very tasty. And I already have some Maharani (i probably always misspell that) Estate Darjeeling 2008 brewed and ready to drink. I am loving that stuff. The Dj 22 from adagio is nice, but has such a different taste profile than some of the lighter/greener/oolongier Darjeelings. I think I must start a Darjeeling thread because I really need to order some very soon and would love to hear about vendor recommendations.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***
I'm having a green Darjeeling this morning to start my day.
Happy Friday everyone!

I like to do nothing but watching the tea leaves when drinking green tea. And I like to read teachat when drinking any tea.
But, I don't know why, my belly can hold so much water, and my tea session is usually very long with a few hours and lots of water
So most of the time, I have to do something when drinking tea, reading a book or working on computer.
Lao Zhu Da Fang green tea this morning. This is my first time to have it and am totally in love with it
Today is my working from home day, and I will have a whole noon and afternoon for oolong

I voted for watch sports or tv but the time of year heavily influenced that answer. Regular season hockey started for me last night (even though my team lost) so now my happy veg time is watching hockey and sipping tea. You can always tell when I'm truly vegging when I have my laptop on my lap but it is closed. For me, watching TV while doing nothing else is ultimate brain dead time (most of the time I just use it as background noise/visual). I can't just sit and listen to something - my brain goes a million different directions and I end up being so distracted by my thoughts that I end up not even tasting the tea. I have to visually zone out to truly zone out. And yes, I'm a visual learner! 
Happy Friday, all. Hope it goes quickly!
Shelob, I hope you feel better today. Japanese greens and darjeelings always seem to make me think happy, spring-like thoughts. Maybe try one of those?

My ideal would be listening to sounds of silence or completely vegging out, however, in my house neither of those things ever really happen. So, I enjoy my tea whenever and wherever I can.
This morning tried a sample of Adagio's Cinnamon tea. It was tasty and contributed to the fall feeling of cooler mornings, but I don't know if I would drink it every day.
TGIF everyone!

I had to pick other because of the lack of an "all of the above" option. I drink tea while doing everything, but if I had to narrow it down to favorites they would be the things I hardly have time for in a day, read, knit, and watch a movie from start to finish.
Life is like a cup of tea, savor it slowly or it will be gone too fast
