Finding tea in strange places

So, as a student, I find that I have a lot of classes that I have to try very hard to stay awake in. (Which is where tea comes in!) I just recently was going through my backpack and I found literally thirty or more tea bags (for ease of travel), some sugar and stevia packets, as well as a spoon. Yeah, I carry a spoon especially for tea drinking, and nothing else. :)
I’ve also found tea bags in my closet, in my shirt drawer, in the back pockets of jeans, as well as in the bathroom next to my toothbrush. (I have no idea where those came from….seemed a bit icky to use them when I found them there…)
So I was wondering—where’s the weirdest place you’ve found tea?

I found a box of tea bags in the freezer not too long ago. I remember buying the box, but don’t remember putting it in the freezer…

ha ha, I hope the tea bags were okay!
Does freezing tea ruin/affect the taste? Did they taste weird when you brewed them?

Every once in a while I won’t realize I don’t finish my cuppa only to find a cup that isn’t empty in the morning lol. Luckily I’ve never done that w/ chai!

I do that all the time, especially when I’m painting. Or, I’ll have my turpentoid open right next to my tea, and several times this year I’ve stuck an oil paint filled brush into my freshly made tea. :( Maybe I should start another topic for finding strange things in tea next ha ha…

Great topic! I got a chuckle out of it!!!! One never knows until it happens and it continuously happens, I guess!

Ummm…lets see…
In Random Order…

In with brand new/unused business envelops at work
I found one in with my paperclips the one day
in a totally random file of papers
inside a phone book (I’m assuming it fell from my desk…or heaven???)
near the popcorn at home in my cabinet
on top of my food dehydrator
Under my laptop at home
on my dresser with some pocket change

…time will tell, I suppose…

inside a phone book? I’ve never heard that one before. Hilarious!

I found an opened tea bad in my jacket pocket. Like I would want to steep that thing with all the pocket lint on it.
