Less than two hours, usually. Whenever I'm thirsty and want tea. I'm home all day, so it's easy.

Cold and rainy here today, so I think a hot cuppa Wuyi Amber is in order. Got a taste for the cheap stuff, what can I say...

I said less than 3 hours, but it is a bit ambiguous. I start the session which could last 3 hours and start the next. So, from one start to the next it is usually 3 hours.

I began the TD with Sae Midori from O-Cha. My taste buds were a bit off this morning, hope that changes for the next session. I was joined by SweeTea who enjoyed this morning's sencha more than me. Pyrit, Wulong, TEAh took up TeaTable space.

Have a great TeaDay ...
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I put that it's normally around 4 hours for me. When at work I normally do a euro style brew in a rather large pot I have here so I don't have to get up for water often. It takes me a while to finish it.

This morning : SA Hashiri.

On average less than 10 hours appart. Some days its more like chain drinking but thats not the average for me, especially when I start working this summer.

Bai Hao yin zhen(silver needles) this morning from teaspring. It was my first time with this tea and I didn't use enough leaf.

Chain drinker. If something comes up in the day I'll try and bring the tea with me if possible

Sakura sencha to start my day

I don't know how to answer this poll because my tea sessions vary a lot, depending on how the day goes. I have tea when I want it, when it is possible to do so.

I usually just have one session a day but I do spread the infusions out through most of the day too...

Less than 2 for me during the week but I would call myself a Chain Drinker on the weekends!

It's a Nilgiri day for me - Glendale Handmade at home and plain 'ol Glendale here at work.

Ok, not really at all. I do not tie on the ole i-v-o-t.

I am as consistent as a teenagers mood.

Hope everyone is having a great day! The sun is finally out, mild temperatures around here.

I chose less than 3 hours. Make a cup, enjoi, zone out, make a cup, enjoi, zone out.

Enjoying a cup of darjeeling #22 while working on some diff. equations weeeeeeee!, just had a bowl of kiri no mori, then opening up some shincha from o-cha that came in later to try with a tea buddy.

First session of the day is generally brewed in the morning prior to work and the next session is brewed after I get home. Given that I set my zoji on a 10 hour timer from a bit before I leave the house to roughly when I get home, it is probably over 10 hours between the first session's brewing and the second session. Sometimes it is less if you count a glass of iced tea before I steep anything new.

Currently in my cup is cold brewed Apricot Green tea.
