How much tea do you drink daily?
About an ounce a day total. I like 9-12 g black tea in the morning, move along to 9-12 g of something a bit lighter (chai, green, and/or white tea) in the midday and afternoon, and wrap up the evening at home with 3-6 g herbal or rooibos.
Holy smokes this is an expensive habit. :(
I haven’t really weighed it. 2 large mugs at work during the day, maybe more in the evening when I get home. Depends on how I’m feeling and if I have to run errands after work. I try to not buy tea while I’m out, but sometimes I’ll pop into a DavidsTea or Teavana for a hot cup of something that’s not earl grey…
A big pot of sencha in the morning (or our sencha matcha blend, which we all love.) Then throughout the day, more green tea, green tea lattes, jasmine tea….just, so much tea, all day long.
Then we have to figure out which teas to choose to send to people in the mail, so that requires sampling even MORE tea! We aren’t complaining but it is hard to get yourself to drink water, which is so boring in comparison.
I wish I could handle more caffeine. I’m at 10 grams of straight tea on weekdays, 15 to 20 on the weekend. Mmm, weekends.
Daily 5-6 gms young sheng or 8-10 gms of shou. Middle aged sheng around 8-10 grams.
Over the weekends sometimes twice as much as above but not often.
3 or 4 cups of Black/white/green at 1.5 grams/cup and perhaps 2 or 3 puerh sessions at 2 grams/session. Roughly 10 grams per day. I do a lot of re-steeps.
I’m probably at around 13 grams so far today, and I’ll likely have another 4 after dinner. I resteep a lot too.
On days where I drink something in a gaiwan, I generally resteep more and will sometimes make 7 grams last most of the day, so those days usually have less tea on a leaf-weight basis.
I tend to average about 5 cups/day, less right now since I’m pregnant. I don’t tend to resteep, since I drink mostly herbals and like a lot of variety.
Ive had to cut back a bit because of caffeine – I write a lot of electronic music and the combo keeps me awake
I resteep a lot, part of the reason paying a bit more for tea helps due to the longevity you can get out of good leaf
daily dose:
15g of shou
5-7g of sheng
6g of Yancha or 6g of other oolong
7g of hongcha
Total: about 35g .
