8th April: Monday morning and of course I needed to start my day with a strong pot of Chinese Puerh tea in one of my Yixings.
9th April: Tuesday I woke up late and so couldn't have any tea until I got to work so my first cup was from my work stash and I had chose a Gunpowder Green tea. I keep Gunpowder in work because it's quite a hardy tea due to the rolled leaves. I don't like keeping delicate teas in work.
10th April: Wednesday I was feeling a little bit rundown so I started my day with a shot of Match. I'm not a huge fan of the taste which is why I take it in shot form but I do believe it sorts me out when I'm not feeling great.
11th April: Thursday I treate myself to my favourite Da Hong Pao Oolong tea. I say treated myself because I'm running a bit low on it and funds are sparse these days so I am trying to make it last (especially as it is one of the few teas that age well).
12th April: Friday I was naughty and made myself a tea cocktail - this basically involed 2 measures of irish whisky topped up with some cold brewed lapsang souchong. Oh delicious!!
13th April: I met one of my friends for "coffee" on Saturday afternoon at our local coffee shop but I had an Earl Grey with lemon. It came from a teabag but it was actually ok and the chat was good!
14th April: Ah Sunday, the day of rest! My most memorable cup of tea from this day was not actually tea at all but a refreshing peppermint tisane that I drank after a rather hefty Sunday dinner.
So there you have it, my tea diary for the week. Obviously I drank more than one cup of tea a day but these were the ones what stood out for me the most!
Have you ever kept a tea diary before? How long did you do it for?
Peace Out,
Gary the tea freak
