Tea

Now that it is getting cold enough to really appreciate a nice warm beverage, who out there is a Tea drinker, and what kind do you prefer?

I personally like PG Tips in the morning
and either green or Red tea in the evening

I drink Bell Tea, which is a New Zealand brand. Earl Gray isn't too bad, as long as it's not the poofy scented camamile strawberry mint cheese shit.

The Commonwealth is built on a foundation of tea.

80% Oolong, 20% Jasmine!

That way it's mostly the good black Oolong flavor with just a hint of Jasmine.

Yum.

Up here in the Great Northern Forest we drink tea occassionally. But the primary purpose is to dry out the tea bags and use them as pillows for underpriviledged sparrows.

Wasn't that Tea AND Opium?

and no worries Huey, I'm sure shipping would cost more than a cup of tea is worth, but thanks anyway.

Lipton at the office, jasmine at home. Occasionally Earl Grey with cream and sugar. Chrysanthemum with lotsa rock sugar for dim sum every once in a while.

Earl Gray but only from a little shop called "The Queens Pantry" that is here in town. It is run by an Ex-Pat Brit who gets all his stuff from "home" as he says. They also carry the real Cadbury'chocolate and they also have shandy's.

Mostly is is coffee and until they restricted that it was usually a pot or three a day. Now it is a cup every other day and it is a muthaf#@ka!

Green tea sweetened with either honey or maple syrup (real stuff from New England--not that Aunt Jemima shit), or chai now and then. Speaking of tea, the Celestial Seasonings factory is in Boulder, CO. We visited last summer. Part of the factory tour is a stop in the storage room for their peppermint. Wow! The CS chamber has nothing on thousands of pounds of peppermint menthol for cleaning out the sinuses.

All you tea drinking dandies out there, if you're not drinking this: http://www.harney.com/ you are wasting your time.

The only reason I know about it is, it is located down the street from where I went to highschool.
