I just went on a holiday where the high point was a nice cup of tea.

[cosmicpanda]

The rest of it was family, some of whom were nice but mostly unbearable.

 

>:(

 

Anyway, discuss tea. I like it.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Tea is good. I especially like the tv ads with Nigella, she's such a fox.

 

PS what an awesome holiday.

[Moghedian]

I prefer coffee.

 

 

Unless... we're talking chamomile with lots and lots of honey?

[ed2funy]

Damn Elves and their tea.

>.<

[cosmicpanda]

??? at Ed.

 

Ashaman, it was quite an interesting cup of tea for somebody such as myself who doesn't drink a whole lot of it. It seems to be made from the leaves of the kawakawa tree and blended with lemongrass and ginger. It had a bit of a burn like that you get from chilli, which was good fun.

 

Moggy, you're from Christchurch. You can't be blamed for the coffee thing. It does terrible things to a person, though. I have a friend who is quite religious who once gave up coffee for Lent. She took it well - she wasn't actually twitching - but I don't think the way she had five cups every Sunday helped her adjust to the no coffee for the rest of the week.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

I prefer a sweet tea, herbal tea often has undertones of dirt that I can't shake, that or they are too bitter to drink.

 

Call me boring if you will, but you'll change your tune when I reveal that I shockingly have 2(!) sugars in!

Oh yes.

 

Two.

 

That being said I normally drink 2 coffee's a day, tea is a weekend afternoon thing whilst taking a break from some household construction project that I've spent all day swearing over.

[ed2funy]

Some  kind of minty tea late at night sometimes.

 

And Pandy..it's a reference to a book. :D

[LedZepMan]

Tea is nasty. period lol.

 

Beer on the other hand is quite good.

 

And juice.

 

^ that just made me sound like im 6

[cosmicpanda]

Two sugars is such a wanton example of self-expression that I think it's perfect in SG, Ashaman. I'm not letting you near my kawakawa fire, though.  >:(

 

Are you not six, LZM?

 

??? at Ed.

 

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Man, I can't beleive I just got  >:('d during a discussion about tea...

[ed2funy]

*sigh*

I don't recall thename at  the moment...

but yeah...

>.<

[cosmicpanda]

Man, I can't beleive I just got  >:('d during a discussion about tea...

 

One thing we did on my holiday was go bowling. I got told that I'm very good at glowering.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Being on the receiving end, I'm well aware. You just roasted my eyebrows off from across the sea.

 

I need those to do this:  :-\

[LedZepMan]

ha ha pandy.........

 

 

now its my mission to lynch you.........

 

it will be unpleasent lol.

 

Dont hurt me

[Cadsuane]

I'm very good at glowering.

 

I would believe that.  ;D

 

I don't drink much tea, since I find that most of it tastes kind of the same to me. When I do drink it, I choose teas that smell nice. *nod*

 

Alternatively, I'm with LedZep; beer is quite good.  8)

[Haxorsist]

Alcohol is the devil's tea. I stay away from that stuff.

[cosmicpanda]

Alcohol is the devil's tea. I stay away from that stuff.

 

I would believe that.  ;D

 

What teas don't smell nice, Caddy? (I guess since this is coming from a dedicated Islay single malt drinker, 'nice' is relative)

[LedZepMan]

Alcohol is the devil's tea. I stay away from that stuff.

 

I would believe that.  ;D

I'm really big into teas, tisanes, oolongs, and rooibos (rooibosi?).  I much prefer looseleaf tea to that prepackaged and bagged crap that most people chug.  I have a timolino (australian press) and couldn't live without it.  I also bought a martini shaker just so I could make single glasses of iced, sweetened tea for the summer.

 

Black, lightly flavoured teas are often my favorite, but they can often be too strong or bitter.  Give me a white tea any day; such delicate flavour and high in antioxidants.  Herbal teas aren't my favourite, but some are good.  Rooibos are usually good, just like green tea but without the slight acidic aftertaste.  Oolongs aren't always my favorite, it really depends on the blend and flavour.  Greens are usually delicious and nutritious and go down smooth.  Jasmine Green is one of my favourites along with Moroccan Mint. 

 

I also drink coffee a lot.  I prefer darker roasts usually, with a higher acidity and a less earthy flavour.  I don't usually like African coffee, but Latin/South American coffee is almost always delicious.  Of course, I'm a big fan of Hawaiian and Jamaican coffee, they have some of the best in the world.  When it comes to tea vs. coffee, I can't choose.  It really just depends on what I'm feeling or how tired I am.  I usually drink coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon or night.

 

My current tea stock:

 

Grandma's Apple Pie  7/10

Sugarplum Spice  4/10

White Christmas  8/10

Red Velvet  4/10

Creme Brulee  1.5/10

 

I could go on all day about tea and coffee.

 

Also, Starbucks SUCKS!  That is all.

[Talya]

I don't like Tea!

[cosmicpanda]

Krak, I feel as if I hardly know you.

 

Talya, I thought you were English! Aren't you? (  ::) )

[Talya]

:D I am and I don't like the stuff...

 

Go anywhere, and its "want a cup of tea love"

 

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! :D

[Krakalakachkn]

haha that must be hysterical.  I bet you get the weirdest looks

[ed2funy]

Weird...it's the Conspirarati Talyati. :D

She's actually French.

:o

[cosmicpanda]

You know, saying things like that about people might lead to trouble.
