Friday TeaDay 5/29/09 Same tea everyday?

[Chip]

Greetings TeaFriends and welcome to TeaDay. Come in and share what is in your cup today.

Yesterday most responders indicated they would have the same tea twice in the same day. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Carry over from yesterday, most responders enjoy the same tea more than once in the same day. But, is there a tea you are enjoying day after day currently? If yes, what tea is it?

I am as always looking forward to sharing TeaDay with everyone.

I mix it up quite a bit each day. There's a tendency to have a raw puerh in the evening, but even that is not writ in stone.

not really.. my intra-day sessions are often the same tea but I usually vary between days even if its just a diff sencha

[Victoria]

Yes, I am currently enjoying the exact same tea day after day. The spring 2009 Baozhong from Tea Masters has been in my cup everyday this week. I will sometimes do this with new teas that are exceptionally good.

[CutieAgouti]

Almost everyday...matcha revitalizes me extremely quickly compared to other teas. I enjoy it a lot too, becoming one of my favorites.

Unfortunately tomorrow will be my last cup until I get more

[olivierco]

Not really.
I however don't open too many teas at the same time, especially for greens, so I may have the same tea everyday for three weeks and then switch for another one.

Karigane gyokuro this morning.

[Proinsias]

I'm with Oliver, with greens I tend to have only one or two - ok maybe very occasionally three - open at the same time. So I often have the same green for a period of time.

[Drax]

Nope, not really... I'm still in sample-tasting mode (or at least, trying new stuff), so it's always something new.* Maybe one day I'll settle into a more predictable pattern.

*Except for this week, where apparently I've decided to be really lazy and just keep the same one pot going. Still going on that 1960s Guang Yun Gong...

[cherylopal]

well, i'm somewhere between- Well, almost everyday and No, not really-

never repeated day to day until Sae Midori! i am loving that tea in the am-

i will join the matcha club soon! i am sure that i'll love it so i'm thinking like CutieAgouti that i will then have the same tea in the am.

[kymidwife]

Almost every day, yes... I have a greenish darjeeling probably 5 or 6 out of 7 days a week, shincha probably 4 or 5 out of 7 days, and matcha probably 3 or 4 out of 7. I don't vary my shincha much as I am trying to only keep one open at a time... cheated now and have 2 (one at work, one at home). With the Darjeelings, I may cycle through various ones as I'm sampling new arrivals, but basically a very similar Dj pretty much every day.

Yes, it is 5 am. Yes, I am getting HOME from work rather than getting ready to go. I hate starting my Friday day off by having been up all night Thursday night. I am getting too old for this nonsense. Welcome to the world Baby Boy... wish you knew how to tell time.

I have to give report to the oncoming doc and midwife in an hour and a half... might as well stay up now. Nepal FF 08 in my cup... need to use it up so I can feel less guilty for ordering some 09!

Definitely not for me. If we broaden the question to the same type of tea, then I tend to drink green tea more than the others.

I'll drink Moon Doggie (sencha / walnuts / almonds) this morning.

[chad]

I have two or three teas I "go to" really regularly. I also have chai and tisanes that I enjoy frequenlty as well as the chamomile in the evenings.

Monkey picked Oolong this morning.

[Victoria]

In my cup this morning, same tea as yesterday: '09 FF Darjeeling Oolong from Cameilla Sinensis.

Have a nice day everyone!

Hi,

I drinkmost of the time the same teas.
I buy a few different teas (5 maximum) and alternate until ther is no more and then I buy new ones when there's no more of one kind.


Victoria, do you speak about Camelia Sinensis in London?
I saw the shop a bit less that one year ago when I was visiting London after my 1day holiday trip in Kew Gardens.
Is that a great shop according to you?
And if I visit go to London again (to Kew Gardens of course), do you recommend me to go to Camelia Sinensis?

[auggy]

Nope, I haven't had the same tea twice in one day or two days in a row for a while. I have been on a Japanese green kick the past few days, but haven't had the same one in a row.

Coconut tea with a little mango mixed in. I'm so freakin' happy it is Friday. You can't even know.
