by Chip » Feb 8th, '10, 01:09

Welcome to Monday TeaDay! It's the beginning of the week and the start of a new series of topics. I am looking forward to everyone sharing what you are drinking today, all day.

Yesterday we discussed 'SuperTea Day'. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

First in a series of topics. Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. This was asked one year ago, but we have a lot of new people in the house! How many different teas do you have on a typical day or an average day? Please share your typical tea day with us.

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up.

Saturday, had sencha, and two oolongs (both dark). Sunday, had sencha, a light and a dark oolong, and a young sheng puerh. Most workdays, can only manage two.

Since I usually only get 1 or 2 sessions in per day, it's usually one type of tea a day for me. Sencha day. Sheng pu-erh day. White day.

Edit: Today was the exception. Some sencha and some white peony.

One! Sometimes I have two different teas in one day (gasp), but I usually limit myself to a single tea. 'Tis more efficient, I find.

Limiting myself to White Peony on this particular day.

Houjicha with my lunch.

I usually have 1-2, very seldom more than two. I either have an oolong, sencha or gyokuro around morning/mid day, then some Lapsang souchong or oolong in the evening.
This depends on the time of the year. During the spring/summer I might have more teas per day due to all the new harvests.

About four or five. I have an herbal tea when I get up.
Then with my midmorning snack usually a oolong or black tea(flavored or not).
Then two different ones in the early and late afternoon. Usually just what I feel like. A new one, a sample... Also depends on the weather. If I sit outside and it's comfortable and sunny it's a white or green one, if it's raining black....
Sometimes I'll have a fifth one at night before going to sleep. Usually a herbal.

Whereas it was probably around 3, now it is more like 1. If I can get at least one good session in a day I am a happy bunny!

No tea as of yet, most likely have some of my Feng Qing Yunnan Black tea cake from Yunnan Sourcing shortly.

Jack :D

Two usually. Yunnan Gold every morning. One of several oolong choices at night. Occasionally I'll drink a third if have a chance to make some at work, usually a puerh.

In my cup, Yunnan Gold, brewed a little stronger than normal as I've got a busy day ahead and won't have more tea until late evening :(

Well 2 when I'm working and 3 or more when I am home. I voted 2 since I am mostly at work, unfortunately.

Started my busy day with Soom Estate Darjeeling.

Have a nice day everyone!

Most days 3 or 4. Start the day with a white, either earl grey or fruit tea with lunch, then a decaf/herbal in the afternoonor after dinner. if i have alot of new samples, i may go up to 5 or six, but this is rare.

Starting the day with White Peony. Its cold and rainy outside so there will be ALOT of tea today.

I prefer to stick with one or two so I don't have to do much deciding, but lately I've been trying to use up the dribs and drabs of my copious amounts of samples, so I've been having 4-5 kinds a day.

I really need to cut down my collection.
