[Chip]

Happy TeaDay everyone and welcome! Please drop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed (though I missed it) aunlimited funds in regards to teaware changes. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Coffee or Michael Coffee? *Cough* "Bean" a while since I asked this, and we want to know currently ... your tea to coffee ratio. Are you gulping the roasted bean nectar?

Be sure to check out the new TC TA SO Round 2, "In Praise of Shadows" featuring the work of our TA ShyRabbit aka Michael Coffee (coininkdinky given our topic today!!!!!!

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

I sometimes jumpstart my day with a tasty double espresso, so sign me up for 9:1.

Having some sencha today for the first time in days.

[JBaymore]

You should have had 1:100. That might be as low as drinking coffee gets on my list. Once in a blue moon.

best,

I have not had any coffee since sometime last fall, a few months after discovering my tea obsession.

Sakura Sencha from O-Cha in my cup right now.

[Victoria]

9:1 I still like a good cup now and then.

In my cup this morning - Organic Makurazaki Tezumi
Koucha Hime Hikari from Yuuki-Cha.

Have a nice day everyone!

I love the smell of coffee, but hate the taste, so I'm 100% tea.

[Proinsias]

Last time you done this poll I was drinking maybe one cup a week, now it's pretty much zero.

If I'm round at my dad's for any length of time I'll have a few espresso's as he buys decent beans and grinds them. I don't have the appetite for the stuff to justify roasters and grinders in the house, and I know if did start taking a real interest it would just further harm the tea budget.

A pizza restaurant we drop by on occasion does a dessert type thing which consists of baby figs in wine sauce with an espresso on the side, yum.

Just about to brew up some dan cong and sad that I missed the postman this morning, I'm pretty sure it's a little tgy sample pack from the Mandarin.

I'm 9:1 tea. Coffee is good, but I prefer tea. Also, I'm much pickier about coffee than my mom is, and I'm staying with her for the summer, so I'm not drinking a ton of it. At school, I don't drink any, because it is either old, burnt, or has flavored coffee residue in it (I really don't like flavored coffee).

Pu-erh tea this morning. I definitely prefer it to coffee.

I love the smell of coffee BEANS roasted, but hate the taste of brewed coffee, so I'm 100% tea. I have even bought beans based on their aroma with zero intent or interest in ever brewing them.

BTW, you have 2 votes today!

One cup of coffee (Gevalia) in the morning and then lots of tea
Will have Dancong Aria in a minute.

Hi,
It's definitely a 9:1 ratio, I still enjoy my one cup of flavored coffee in the morning, after my first cup of pu-erh. (Occasionally I'll still enjoy one of those delicious frozen coffee drinks in the Summer too.) Right now I'm enjoying a Numi chocolate pu-erh with flavored creamer, just finished a caramel rooibos awhile ago, and this afternoon it will be adagio white peach tea...

mostly tea but I do drink coffee 3 or 4 times a week. Goes down a bit when I have lots of roasted oolong and when I dont have the roasty oolong coffee goes up a bit.

I really like the roasted flavours of coffee

[Cael]

I don't really drink coffee except when friends decide to make it for me. Which was a lot when I was living with an espresso lover and not so much now. Right now I am 100% tea, unless you count my aged Puer which I sometimes lovingly refer to as my morning coffee.

What John said.

I'm still on my Hattialli Golden Lion kick. This definitely is the very best assam tea I've ever had. I'll be ordering more than two ounces next time!

Have had two cuppa's of it already today.

[AdamMY]

I actuallly drink coffee most mornings, I have a hard time waking up, so the less I have to think to enjoy my morning caffeine pick me up the better it is. So I would say I am probably 1 cup of coffee to every 5 cups of tea.

BTW Can not wait to see these Michael Coffee pieces in person.
