What type of meditation? How often is semi-regularly?

I went on a green tea stint for a couple years. I bought some really expensive green tea also, which tasted delicious and felt wonderful. The problem though, was that I began drinking it too much, and did not feel the effect of the caffeine that I used to. Since then, I have switched to coffee, but I still don't get the feeling that I did when I drank green tea. So sad.

Where do you get your tea?

My meditation is hardly regimented and strict, and is the result of many hours of searching the internet for proper meditative technique. I would say it most closely resembles Zen meditation, as it is primarily centered around maintaining a steady breathing rhythm and concentrating on nothing.

I try to meditate several times a week, though I rarely meet my goals. I'd say an average of twice a week for the past few months.

With respect to your comment about the green tea, you will certainly acquire a tolerance to the caffeine after consuming it for an extended period of time. While I no longer experience the caffeine boost that I used to, I still nonetheless feel more alert after drinking.

I get my tea from a local shop in Athens called Fooks Foods which specializes in oriental imports.
