My sister wants to try this fancy tea she saw at World Market (Cost Plus.) I think I might surprise her with a tin of it.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 01:28 AM

Oh nice ^^
I would like to get nice tins of tea sometime. I'll probably do that in a while when I hopefully get a job and will treat myself to some nice tea :)

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 01:47 AM

There are tea stores where you could work!

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 01:50 AM

Not near me :'( I wish I did live near some.:(

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 02:00 AM

I thought they were everywhere?! I thought tea was the 'in' drink right now. I can tell you there are a million of them around Chicago.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 02:05 AM

I live in a town. ^^" I don't think there are any out here. :(
We do have a starbucks and Tim Hortons. I applied to those places, they won't hire me (not bothered)

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 02:09 AM

Starbucks is gross. *ew* Sorry no ~ Tim Hortons? Now I have to look that up!

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 02:18 AM

I like some of the drinks Starbucks has. ^^
Tim Hortons is a coffee shop chain that is originally from Canada. I like their stuff. ^^ They're not fancy.

Quiet Man Cometh 03-13-2012 03:00 AM

I always get a Tims card from one of my sisters for christmas. I like their steeped tea, and their honey lemon tea is great for a sore throat. It's probably the only place I bother to get tea from when I'm buying by the cup. I can pretty much live off of their stuff though. I like donuts. :)

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 03:13 AM

I agree, I liked their honey lemon and I think another one of their teas when I went to school and we had the Tim's Express in the building I was always in. ^^
The school I'll be at in the Fall has a couple Tim Hortons things there.

If given the chance to, I would love to go there and get a bagel. I loved the asiago tomato bagel. Plain, with cream cheese, with butter. I just loved it that much.
I went to the Tim Hortons in the town my school was in a lot. I had a few EDU majors in my suite and 2 of them (who are roommates) are addicted to coffee already, so we went a lot. ^^"

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 02:22 PM

Wait. So they also sell donuts?! *O.O* Why is there not one in Chicago!?

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 02:26 PM

Yup, they sell doughnuts, bagels, and even have sandwiches. I like their breakfast sandwiches ^^

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 02:31 PM

That sounds freaking TASTY! oh. Now I'm hungry.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 02:36 PM

I'm not :p I ate ramen and chicken nuggets ^^"

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 02:44 PM

So much sodium!
Tea itself is full of caffeine usually, not sodium.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 02:57 PM

i know :( I feel a little bad eating what I did. But, it's that female time for me and at least once during the few days I feel like crap a month, I kind of eat bad. :(
I'll redeem myself tonight with a salad and a hard boiled egg to go in it ^^

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 03:12 PM

I feel that vibe. I should do some groceries. I have no salad stuffs.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 03:19 PM

Yeah ^^" I don't go grocery shopping with my mom because she goes after her dr appt on fridays. And I'm usually not home, or if the boyfriend is working, I'm not going to her appt anyway. So, I never get a chance to know what to get.

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 03:21 PM

I'm trying to save for my trip to Vegas! So I didn't want to spend to much and my mom already buys groceries.

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 03:25 PM

Oh nice ^^
I kind of wish i could go away somewhere for a few days during the summer. :/

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 04:25 PM

It was a gift from my boy's mommy. For his graduation. <3 I'm so proud of him. Then we get our passports and try to teach in Japan for a year.

Spy 03-13-2012 04:27 PM

I have at least two cups of tea a day! My favorite is the Orange-blossom Jasmine green tea!~ It's about all I drink, but sometimes I switch it up with a mug of peach tea. :p

Fauxreal 03-13-2012 04:33 PM

oh! Spy is another tea drinker!

Serena Yuy 03-13-2012 04:37 PM

OMG I love orange blossom jasmine tea! I want to buy more as soon as I can!!!

Quiet Man Cometh 03-14-2012 01:28 AM

I have tried it not, but I do have some blood orange black tea that I like. Citrus seems to work well since it's strong enough flavour most of the time to show.

Back at home now. Yay! Access to my tea stash!

Serena Yuy 03-14-2012 01:35 AM

Yay! Welcome back home to your tea :D
ooo that tea does sound good :)

Quiet Man Cometh 03-14-2012 01:47 AM

Right, and what do I do? Grab plain decaf because I need to head to bed soon. Sigh!

Fauxreal 03-15-2012 12:05 PM

QMC, you look awesome! <3

Also - I always grab decaf!

Serena Yuy 03-16-2012 01:20 AM

I think I have one thing of decaff tea ^^" I should make it sometime.

Fauxreal 03-16-2012 02:51 AM

One thing? A tin? A sachet? lol!

Quiet Man Cometh 03-16-2012 04:05 AM

I have a small box of it, as in smaller than the caffinated tea, which would actually make it normal sized since mom and I go at stuff constantly.

Thanks, Faux. :). This is actually an older avy that I had and decided to use again. I keep pics of the ones I like and recreate them once and a while. Now tris just needs a tea cup thing! On your head or something since with the hand pose it would be hard to hold.

Serena Yuy 03-16-2012 01:44 PM

I have a box of the tea ^^

Quiet Man Cometh 03-16-2012 10:20 PM

Went out for dinner with the household lastnight. I'm in a money crunch right now and I felt like having my vanilla bean tea so, after hearing their tea selection at the restaurant, I asked if they wouldn't mind if I made my own tea. :) (naturally I carry a bag around in my purse, and my other has bags and sugar. Just need to find some way to get cream in there without hazard and I'm good to go!.

Quiet Man Cometh 03-20-2012 08:10 PM

I need more tea tins. I kept picking up this funny smell that was coming from my tea cupboard. Turns out the lapsang suchong I had in a paper bag was starting to permeate the entire kitchen. No paper bag for you anymore!

Serena Yuy 03-21-2012 12:03 AM

Lol! Yeah, that would be a good idea. I don't have teas that would do that yet. But, when the day comes, I will have tins ^^"

Quiet Man Cometh 03-27-2012 11:18 PM

I have shiny tea! Tried my new tea that I got for my birthday, the gold shimmering black tea from DavidsTea with a long title that I can't recall that more or less says 'gold, shimmering black tea.'

It's tastey stuff too. Has vanilla and cloves among other things. I had a cup plain and a cup with milk. Since the shimmer in the tea comes from gold surgar crystals is really dont' need any extra sugar. I'll have to ask my friend where she got it from. I can't remember where the store is, but the tea itself comes from Montreal apparently.

Oooo that tea sounds soo awesome :D
I'm happy I'll be working soon, I'll be able to get teas since I'm running out. ^^"

Permafrost 03-28-2012 08:00 AM

I happen to like all sorts of tea, but smoothies with tea and bubble tea seem to go good. ^^ I drink a lot of coffee too.

Serena Yuy 03-28-2012 12:02 PM

I should ask Mike if he would mind taking me to a place to get bubble tea. I forgot that was one of the things I wanted to do to celebrate getting a job. Maybe I'll wait till I get my paycheck. ^^ I love bubble tea :D

Apparently my mom is part of a site that she can send in for free samples. She got one of a flavour of green tea for me ^^ It came with a coupon :D YAY!
