What helps cheer you up after a particularly bad day?
A nice hot cup of tea, preferably chai tea with cashew milk (in the pink flamingo mug), and a cuddle with the World's Cutest Kitten.

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.
Q2: Pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice coffee:
a) a tasty seasonal treat that you canāt wait for
b) a seasonal treat you can take or leave
c) the devilās work
d) otherāplease explain
Inserting the only flavor that makes pumpkin palatable into a beverage that doesn't need it and never asked for it.

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.
