[TimeforTea]

Green Tea in the morning, and peppermint tea at night to help me sleep

Greetings, The Vert! I just had to say that I love your avatar!! Where did you find it?

Unfortunately I am not a morning person by any means. So most of the time when I have to get up for work I either grab a cup of coffee at a deli or worse, a redbull from the drugstore next to my job.

But, when I have those rare mornings with a little extra time I always go for some matevana, with or without chai.

On weekends when I don't work I usually start the day with a black tea.

Right now I am finishing up a cup of earl grey creme that's going cold. Some sencha later of course.

I came into this semester hoping to establish a morning routine, but my roommate doesn't have classes before I do. So I can't really make tea in the morning unless I go do it on the floor in the lounge. Usually I start with some afternoon tea.

No rhyme or reason for me. I drink whatever I am in the mood for. I rarely get a morning cuppa anymore. I usually have my first cup around 6 pm since I have no way of brewing tea at work.

I start the day with coffee and then switch to tea. The tea of choice then depends on my whim of the moment.

Sensational pot, wonderfully photographed! I love the selective focus.

Any other pix of it available? I don't remember seeing it recently.

Nice photos as always!!!

I used to start everyday with a Chinese black, well, 9 out of 10 days anyway, but ALWAYS black. A few years ago, I switched to focusing on one type of tea for "a while." GREENS, so virtually everyday it is green to start the day, quite different than starting with a black. Currently, no big surprise, it is Japanese greens first thing.

Today, started the TeaDay with Fukamushi Tenho, Organic, from JGTS. 3rd attempt and using more leaf each time. SweeTea liked it, and today, Pyrit had a slurp as well.

About to brew up some Adagio Golden Spring Black in response to a black tea topic.

Here is another (slightly underexposed) shot. My camera LCD is a big, fat liar.

There is generally no rhyme or reason to my morning cup of tea. It all depends on what tea I am in the mood for, what teas I have on hand, and what I have planned for during that day.

I started today with some Yutaka Midori.

All those LCD are big fat liars!

That pot is one sweet honey ... what do you brew in it?

Experimenting with roasted oolong, yancha and today dong ding. Used to brewing these in a larger pot and need some practice.

Speaking of Dong Ding, I would love your assistance over here.

I'm not a morning person at all. I start my day with a cup of coffee and then move on to black tea (not the same variety) followed by oolongs, greens and whites.
Just had a nice cup of Silver Needle.

Whoa, Nellie, that's getting out of my depth! Maybe some of the TeaDrunk guys could help with it. There's a lot of knowledge there.

No rhyme, but some reason tot he first cup of the day. Mostly mood and weather dependant. If my sweeite is around to gongfu with me, we'll have oolong or pu, on work days, I usually go for a black, but not always.

This splendid Keemun graced the pot this morning, because I had to get up earlier than i wanted and didn't feel like futzing with the gong fu wares.

[olivierco]

I usually start the day with a black tea: Yunnan golden tips or Keemun most of the time.
Just had some Ippodo kaboku sencha.
