It really takes getting used to doesn't it? But once you developed the habit, it isn't so hard anymore

My experience too.
Took me a long time to get used to it. After I mastered it, I love it. I guess it is a good habit

I'm having a nice afternoon mug of Ahmad English Breakfast tea. Almost out, which means I'll have to make a run into Osaka to try and find some more!

It's a very good habit

Having to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes is the only (slightly) annoying side effect.

Now that I don't believe!

In my cup: water with teisseire, which goes well with my snack (one passion fruit, one cherry yoghurt).

I mentioned in a post in this thread (at least I think it was this thread) long, long ago that I had tranistioned from coffee, which I drank out of habit, not out of enjoyment, to hot chocolate, which was as a result of reading David Weber's Honor Harrington series and HH's drinking chocolate, which I liked much better than coffee, to green tea. (The chocolate drinking was short-lived, maybe 4-5 months.)

I've been drinking green tea now for what seems forever. I have three primary green teas that I rotate between each morning. The three varieties are Dragon Well, Sencha Kyoto, and Bi Luo Xian. I have become particularly fond of the Sencha Kyoto.

I now even pack the tea along with a carafe when traveling. I also carry with me a small tin that holds 6 tea bags. The 3 teas I named above I buy in losse form (in bulk). For the tea bags, I use The People's Daily Green Tea. I bought a couple of years ago, the Traveler version so that I can carry tea bags with me.

I recently read in one of the magazines I subscribe to, that green tea not only helps you lose weight, and losing a few pounds is something I could use, but actually deters gum disease. Just more incentive to continue drinking the green tea.

I have tried buying green teas from other vendors than the People's Republic of Tea but have found it difficult to find a seller of comparable (in my estimation) quality. For those of you who also enjoy green tea, where do you buy it and what do you buy?

Sencha, only different type, Uji but also Japanese is a treat

A mug of tuocha Pu-Erh. Finished all tuochas. Tomorrow back to Pu-Erh aged (4 years) from Tea House Emporium.

I've been buying from People's for about 10 years now. I get the Green/Ginseng/Honey in bulk, and then mix in others when I order my bulk order

astra · 04-27-2011, 11:07 AM

A mug of Lapacho.
I brought a bit to the office.

Btw., there was no Ahmad tea or Twinings Prince Wales in Gatwick's duty-free.
Isn't it ironic that I cannot purchase British teas in the UK?

beppe · 04-27-2011, 11:52 AM

A glass of water
