Saturday TeaDay 2/07/09 Tea as planned, or not?

[Chip]

Welcome TeaChatters to TeaDay. Please stop by and share what is in your cup today.

Yesterday most responders had missed at least one complete day of drinking tea in the last 6 months. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic!

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Sort of following yesterday's theme, on an average day do you typically drink more or less tea than you would have wanted to or planned to? Why less or how do you pull off more? Please share ...

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

I don't plan my teadrinking.

Keemun this morning.

Rarely do I feel I had as much tea as I would like, yet the amount I have is pretty predictable. There's only so much time in a day, I guess.

Sencha and a couple rosebuds that escaped our recent sub-freezing nights.

Definitely less. I'm only drinking 2 cups of hot tea a day now. Maybe 4 total with iced tea.

Got my kiddo loving some Jasmine scented iced green tea this week from Upton. Said it's a lot better than Red Rose.

I also don't really plan my tea drinking, but I'm usually surprised at how little tea I manage to guzzle on any given day.
White Symphony is just the thing today. Should go well with the tedious multi-day blizzard.

I usually have 3 to 6 teas each day. As I don't drink tea at work, my best teadays are wednesday, weekends and of course during the holidays (which I am lucky to have many).

Houjicha with my lunch.

I usually only drink tea at home: in the morning before I leave for work, and in the evening after I get home from work. I just drink what I can during that time, and so that's roughly what I expect!

I'm still debating what I'm going to have this morning.... I'm leaning toward a black, since I haven't had a black tea in awhile...

That wonderful picture induced in me an instantaneous craving for sencha, which has now been satisfied. But in my case without the rosebuds. Spring seems far away. Le sigh.

I don't plan for amount, but sometimes plan (or day dream) for what tea I would like to drink in the afternoon and that plan often includes getting out of the office early in the afternoon

Today is Saturday, so no plan. The vague plan is something greener for the morning, and something darker for the afternoon

Now I am drinking the over-night cold-brewed left over ba xian dan cong. Some new technique learned from the oolong board

[raveme]

i don't plan the amount either, but most days i wish i had time for more cups then i have.. well today isn't one of those days

i'm on my third bowl of kuai.. and counting

Somehow, inducing a craving for sencha in you doesn't seem like much of a challenge.

Sorry about those Scandinavian winters!

You're absolutely right. So your picture was total overkill

It looks like a Mezzo-american temple dedicated to the green leaf. Here's my morning brew.

I just stumbled onto your (no so) new blog, Mr. Wrong Fu Cha. Nice work, dood!

I don't really plan which teas I am going to drink every day, but depending on my schedule I usually know how many cups I am going to drink during the day and I usually drink as much as expected. This morning I'm drinking Adagio's Valentines, not planned at all I just woke up with a serious taste for something sweet.
