Sunday TeaDay 3/28/10 Tea Liquidation?

[Chip]

Welcome everyone to TeaDay. I hope you will stop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed March Madness. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is asked every year or so. How much tea liquid do you drink per day on average? This includes all steeps. Details please.

I am looking frward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

[Ebtoulson]

On average I would have to say around 32 Oz. My days however can range greatly depending on if I'm brewing gongfu or if I'm drinking mass quantities of iced tea.

Some where between 32 & 48 I guess. I'd like to be closer to 48 everyday, but work interferes.

[debunix]

Interesting question. There's the morning sencha, probably averages a pint depending on how many steeps I have time for; the afternoon quart, which sometimes is shared and sometimes not; and usually at least another pint in the evening, or more on some days.

<64 ounces for sure.

[omegapd]

If I wasn't working midnight shift again, and needing to sleep in the daytime, I'd be drinking a lot more. 32 ounces or less now. Maybe triple that on my days off...

[dooble]

I usually drink only ~~16 ounces, maybe less. Not that much compared to other people, I see.

[brlarson]

Generally around 50 oz. Three 12oz pots in the morning (yancha) and three 5 oz kyusu at lunchtime. Occasionally I'll supplement or replace the afternoon sencha with a small amount of gyokuro.

Shui Jin Gui again this morning.

Close to 64 oz. So far today, 16 oz pot of black dragon pearls, and on my second 8 oz cup of genmaicha extra green.

My tea drinking has decreased recently, with all the work i have trying to get the garden ready for spring planting. (i am way behind because of a very wet february). But on average less than 32 oz, on my days off, it can be much higher when i am not out working in the yard.

Starting out the day with earl grey de la creme at work, will probably switch to peppermint after this, i have been having trouble sleeping lately so i am trying to cut back a little on the caffeine.

[artmom]

Less than 32 ounces, but just a bit more than 16. Not as much as I used to drink, as I have had to cut my caffiene, and I don't care for herbal teas (except for peppermint).

No tea yet today. I'm moving slowly this morning; went out last evening for the Opening Gala of our 47.5 million dollar Clayton Center for the Arts here in our small town. It was fantastic; but lasted from 7:30 p.m. until 11:15 p.m.! Felt good to get dressed "up" and go out!

[brad4419]

I average somewhere between 32oz to 48 per day. Its probably close to 42. If I gong fu then its about three, 17oz sessions throughout the day and if its a green day the 9oz three times throughout the day. Several times a week I drink some kind of herbal tea in the evenings.

Forgot to post I had Shui Jin Gui yesterday for the first time and loved it. Organic sencha in my cup today.

In my cup this morning a gifted tea called "English Leaf Tea" it is loose tea. The instructions are in Dutch, but I think it says 10 minutes!!
I stopped it at TWO, it was very dark already. It's not bad.

[Skippyandjif]

I drink anywhere from 32 to 64 ounces per day, depending upon classes. Generally, the fewer classes I have, the more tea I drink. Saturdays and Sundays can be pretty awesome as a result. On average, then, I drink around 48 ounces per day, maybe a little less or a little more.

Oolong-jasmine-green tea right now, to be followed later with some chrysanthemum tea.

[Geekgirl]

Yesterday I drank A LOT of tea. Lots, lots. Yum. All oolong.

Here's the proof, presided over by my new little teapet, Isolde the Rhinoceros.




This morning I have been very naughty. I purchased a teapot I've been coveting. It's beeeyouteeful! But now I am broke.

[Tazbell]

Generally on work days I drink 64 oz or more. I do a lot of talking so I need to stay hydrated. On my days off, it can be less or more depending on what I'm doing. Today is a cleaning day so just starting my first cup now.
