To paraphrase, tea is the second most consumed beverage in my life, after water :)

Thanks so much for this essay! Without your knowledge and sharing, I would still be calling Chinese 紅茶 as red tea, but it's actually black tea in English.

Ha, nice! But don't get too 茶醉. It's a reminder to myself too.

Perhaps 2-3 cups per day should be enough. Not too much.

That sounds about right! I am caffeine sensitive though I still love tea. Also keeping to similar amount with 2-3 different types of teas each day.

So glad to read your reflections! Thanks for reading and for your thoughts. Indeed, lots to chew for me too and I'll continue to write as I reflect more on tea and everything else not just on tea. Life is messy, not something to be packed in a simple teabag!
