I drink about three cups of tea by day. Earl grey at breakfast, with a bit of bread. Two cups during my day at work, currently some chinese mix of green tea and smoked tea.
In the evening I also drink some vervein.
I drink it as much to warm myself up as for the purpose of drinking.
I drink it without any sugar or anything else. I often joke I drink my tea as I drink whiskey, and whiskey as I drink tea, no additive, thanks. (exception for the genuine kind of arab mint green tea, which must be very sweet)
I drink it when it's very hot, almost still boiling. I know when I drink with others, I'm always finishing my cup when they are starting to find it warm enough to start drink.
When my tea is too cool, I can't stand how bitter it is.

I can not have tea too late in the day, but love to make myself a cup of tea before dinner, as soon as I get home. Oolong or lapsang souchong are my favorites, but got a whole tray loaded with teas and tea samples, and bags and paper napkins with samples push on me. I do not even want to know what it looks like!

Sounds lovely/ When I move in I want to have a collection of different sorts of tea like that. *notes Oolong and lapseng souchong as kind of tea to try out*
