I imagine that would be a fairly quick duel. Is the idea to nom the biscuit before it falls appart? I can't imagine dunking a Nice cookie (what I know as a "Nice" cookie) into tea for five seconds and having it come out in any way intact.

I've moved now so not sure if I should go ahead with my usual birthday tea party or not. I don't have my tea paraphernalia with me this time around. Alas!

they are really quick duels though I've seen some one hold the soggy biscuit for seconds with out it wobbling. I should see if I can find some video's and link you to them. Highly Amusing.

Ah, I see.

Yes, I live now, sort of, and I have more tea! Is it bad that I spend enough on tea to have to factor it into my monthly budget?

I'm trying more David's Tea. More pricey than I like but it's good stuff. I still like the "Glitter and Gold" best, but testing out the Juicy Orange Pu-ehr and got some peanut butter cup tea (yeah, I know, really? But it smelled good) to try since I had a free little bag coming.

I can no longer live without my Assam Banaspaty, Garcinia Goodness, and for luxury my Glitter and Gold. Sadly, they discontinued Cinnamon Heart. Much lament.

I can't function until I've had a cup of tea first thing in the morning. Then depending on what happens during the day I'll have another cup or 5... ^_^;;

I'm currently drink more hot honey and lemon at the moment due to being ill but I also drink chai, granulated fruit teas, genmatcha green tea, matcha lattes and decaf coffee.

Quiet Man Cometh 09-19-2015 01:24 AM

I'm not a fan of matcha in any form, really, though I have a chai latte once in a while.

I've been experimenting with different sugars to see what they are like. I have raw sugar, beet rock sugar, and agave syrup hanging around, depending on what tea I have. Not noticing a whole lot of difference between the agave syrup and white sugar. I rarely use honey since I find the taste comes through in the tea and I'm not always keen on it.

Quiet Man Cometh 12-02-2015 06:25 PM

I've done it. I've over-tea'd myself, to the point where I'm actually electing to have coffee some mornings (or perhaps that the result of my job). Time to steam line my collection a little so it comfortably fits on one shelf. Despite all the choice, I still find myself going back to the same few: Earl Greasy (of various sorts), Assam, and flat-out orange pekoe with some herbal stuff now and then.

I still like my tea, but I can probably do without "Grilled Pineapple" or "Peanut Butter Cup." I should just go and grill an actual pineapple and have tea with it.

I love tea.

Mint tea makes me happy. I like chamomile as well, though I'll always accept black tea if someone offers it to me.

I'll need to try rosehip, it sounds divine!

Tohopekaliga 12-02-2015 09:44 PM

Over-teaed? Madness! :O

...Actually, I can understand that. I've got about a dozen varieties of tea in my pantry, lol.

Coda 12-02-2015 10:04 PM

Just a dozen...?

Tohopekaliga 12-02-2015 10:05 PM

Eyup, just a dozen. I'm no fanatic, I just am given some semi-frequently, because it's been established that I like tea, so clearly tea is a good gift for me. (??)

Coda 12-02-2015 10:07 PM

There's 47 on that list alone, and I've picked up a few more since then. ^^() (Though I've also finished off some of that too.)

Quiet Man Cometh 12-02-2015 11:20 PM

And a few gift packs of stuff that I'm not sure about.

Coda 12-02-2015 11:55 PM

I had some Twinings Earl Gray but I drank it all, so now I've got looseleaf from Teavana. You also overlooked the Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime overlap.

Quiet Man Cometh 12-03-2015 01:39 AM

Whoops.

I keep a big box of Earl Grey around since I tend to default to it as often as I do plain old Red Rose, (regular and decaf) which I forgot to list.

Coda 12-03-2015 02:02 AM

Earl Grey and English Breakfast are my defaults. Oolong is my wife's.
