This Week in Tea Drinking

I am drinking between 4 and 6 2-cup pots/day.

I was drinking black in the morning, green at lunch and in late afternoon, and herbal at night, in addition to multiple green infusions.

The black was cinnamon adagio or masala chai, or a yunnan/wuyi blend. After my bad day on Tuesday, I have cut out black entirely for the next week or so.

The greens change significantly depending on my mood -- white monkey, dragonwell, or mandarin green during lunch and jasmine pearl, hojicha, genmai cha, or my own moroccan mint (og jade fire/og peppermint or gunpowder/og peppermint) later in the afternoon.

The Ti Kuan Yin from today will be working its way into afternoon rotation. It would make a good morning tea because it's slightly less tempermental than the greens, so I can make it while I am making breakfast without having to watch the kettle so carefully.
