They say a picture's worth a thousand words . . . here's my tea cabinet, plus some "Grinch" teas I won in a cat show raffle.

ETA: The Grinch teas are missing the green teas. They don't agree with me (in a truly spectacular way!), so I gave them to a fellow tea lover at the show.

Q4: I'm going to fall back on one of my favorite examples--the extremely long-lived elves of the Obsidian Mountain series by Lackey & Mallory.

They have a complicated tea service where the choosing of the tea is critical.

This one's a fiction question!
Q4: Do you have an example of caffeination in fiction that you think is particularly memorable, compelling, or fun? Please share and explain.
[Non-caffeinated beverages also acceptable, if you've got a good example you want to share]

Q3: I love to write characters who caffeine, although they aren't always tea drinkers (cause I am clearly weird).

I do tend to write characters who can't live without their caffeine--sorta like Brad Pitt like characters who are eating--it reliably gives them something to do.

Q3: Hey--a writing question!
Do you write characters that caffeine the way you do or differently? Is it a character trait you feel you use to advantage when you write?

Q2: I admit it--I've never found Pumpkin spice anything remotely tempting (except actual pumpkin pie).
Pumpkin spice latte is the devil's work. I'm convinced of it.

Wow! It appears that everyone else is just so much better at motivating themselves to limits. I bet you'all have high daily word counts, too. So jealous!

Q2: Pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice coffee:

a) a tasty seasonal treat that you can’t wait for
b) a seasonal treat you can take or leave
c) the devil’s work
d) other–please explain

@neve
chamomile tea is nice. I sometimes like chamomile with mint . . .
I wish coffee tasted as good as it smelled.
And I wish caffeine affected me--it takes a lot to do anything at all.

Q1: I caffeine CONSTANTLY.
I drink a lot of tea. I have a whole cupboard of different types. I make loose tea in a pot (or Mr. Tea) if I'm motivated, but mostly I'm lazy and I use a bag.
My go-to bag is Celestial Seasonings Mountain Chai, made with stevia and an overly generous amount of cashew milk.

Q1: Let’s get to the meat of it.
Do you caffeine or not? If so, what’s your favorite mode of caffeine–if not, what’s your favorite alternative?

Howdy you’all! It is time for #Writephant - our weekly get together to talk about something completely random.

Today’s theme: Hot Beverages: coffee, tea, & the infamous pumpkin spice latte.

But first, as we do every week, tell us how you’all are doing this Monday? What is bringing you joy today? And don’t forget your hastags.
