TEA!!!

there was this ancient jazz song with "i long for oolong" in the lyrics. it's good shit, tastes like peaches, my favorite afternoon tea. i get a thing called white tip oolong that's not too expensive. there's an awesome oolong that looks like hairy buds that tastes great, oh what is the name, but the guy charges $7 an ounce, whoa. i'll find the name...

i start my day everyday with a large glass of good english breakfast tea and a spot of silk creamer-- yes, that's soy, not cow tit juice. i have nothing against dairy, it just tastes better.

of green teas, my favorite is japanese sencha-- it's grassy and delicious-- like a fresh-mowed lawn (i don't eat grass clippings, but i like the chlorophyl smell). gunpowder green i use when i need a serious jolt.

another favorite is earl grey, earl grey is good shit, has a hint of citrus (bergamot) that's just awesome.

darjeeling is nice and delicate and fucking good.

i abhor smoked teas like lapsang souchong, or any smoked taste of any kind.

you can get started with any of these flavors by trying twinnings-- it's inexpensive and widely available. if you get heavy into this, then i recommend buying bulk and buying teapots and your own bags to fill. i get finum and or t-sac (i know, funny name).

anyway, enjoy.

i liked both english and irish breakfast teas quite a bit, but i haven't had any tea in a long time

my store makes earl grey lavender truffles that are very tasty and sweet, unfortunately most people tend to avoid it

yup - I stopped using tea tree shampoo - I don't need man boobs.

phoenix · 12.02.2008, 06:33 PM

a nice earl grey with soy and raw sugar, or a vanilla rooibos

two very fine things in life.

chrysanthemum tea is a good night time tea, and i like seeing flowers floating in a pot of water that im going to drink

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 12.02.2008, 09:07 PM

I used to sing this song when I was in a blues band a verse i wrote went..

"Kelly mae don't smoke no chronic Lord, she just drinks coffee and tea, I said Kelly don't smoke no chronic Lord,she just sips coffee and tea, but as far as I'm concerned Kelly baby, that just leaves more for me..."

Dead-Air · 12.02.2008, 10:31 PM

Sencha green tea. I used to swear by loose leaf in coffee shops for an ungodly sum, but I must now admit that Costco has it in bags that are really pretty damn close to that for a fraction the price. When you're drinking 6-8 cups per day, that price thing starts to matter...

samuel · 12.02.2008, 10:36 PM

Teavana's jasmine dragon green tea was very, very good.
This one Chinese restaurant in DC (can't remember the name) still holds my favorite tea.

DeadDiscoDildo · 12.03.2008, 04:03 AM
