Chaganshinya

Chaganshinya
(Noun)

The practice of drinking tea late at night while staring into space. It describes the quiet, contemplative mood of enjoying a hot mug of tea when the rest of the world is asleep.

Derived from the phonetic Japanese blend of "Cha" (茶 - tea), "Gan"

(丸/眼 - sphere or gaze), and "Shinya" (深夜 - midnight).
After a long, stressful week, I spent my Friday night in total chaganshinya, just watching the steam rise from my mug.
