Those are some pretty impressive work setups.

I'll see if I can snap a pic or two at my desk tomorrow. (Took today as a vacation day due to hubby's birthday - whee!)

Tim refers to his work set-up as his "little tea heaven." I think of mine in terms of a location due south of heaven:

Salsero,
My husband added that red can of congou to his last order from Puerh Shop. Have you tried it?
He's a bit of an impulse purchaser (Aries, what can you do?) so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I like it pretty well.

I found it adequate and unexciting until Orguz clued me in that it really scintillates if you brew it gong fu: lots of tea, short and many steeps. I enjoy it much more now. Certainly the price is excellent!

Holy smoke! That stash would get me tossed out the door; you're lucky to have a nice work set-up like that! I just have my hot water pot and one infuser and everyone comments about my "stuff" . . . We have a water cooler with a hot tap, but I don't know what temp it is or how long the water has been sitting in the tank as no one uses the hot side. :?

It's an older pic (much of the tins have been changed out), but I have my own desk for a tea setup.

The bags on the side are for the visitors who don't know about good tea. :twisted:

I keep a tea ball for any co-workers who wish to join me (my boss sometimes feels like some good tea).
