I have a hot water dispenser at the office that I can adjust the temperature on. I think it is fine to use water that has been heated as long as you don't reboil it.

OK so I just bought it. Christmas Gift Cards have been fully used.

Thanks

I have found the source of the problem.
Green Pu Erh Toucha
Although, it is wrong accordingly to Pu-erh tea
It should be Tuocha.
I am going to contact NBTea about it

A perfectly legitimate British word.
Not that many Brits would understand it

but...

Cannot believe my eyes!

Our brains work in funny ways.
Fountain coke from McDonald
Fortnum & Mason
any similarities?

Anyway, just finished a wonderful cup of Assam STGFOP1 S Harmutty.
The next will be Ahmad Hampton Breakfast.

P.S. bad news, just noticed tea house emporium do not sell Assam STGFOP1 S Harmutty anymore

None whatsoever.

THIS is refreshing... once I can get my lips unstuck!

I used to drink something similar to that, without the sugar.. and with soda water instead of plain water and LOTS of salt. We called it a sour lime, and you could get them at Sonic. Good stuff in the middle of a Texas summer.

Ya think?

I used to just drop into this thread sporadically to trade witty quips about single malt whiskey! Nothing more! Just passing through!

Then you got your tannic tentacles into my soul! Smothered me in loose-leaf temptations! Shamed my tea-bags into oblivion!

NOW I'm pursued from room to room by the wail of my whistling tea kettle [having been warned NEVER to nuke water in the microwave] that sounds like a loon in heat!

I find myself craving a cuppa after meals! Dreaming of riffling through the myriad envelopes of samples on the cabinet shelf now containing nothing but tea! Frantically blowing on a freshly steeped cup, impatient to savor its richness!

Coworkers are looking at me strangely, clutching their cups of stewed coffee, muttering about alien abduction.

My cats are perpetually disappointed each time I open a new sample envelope - instead of an envelope of cat treats!

My desk is covered with scribbled notes of tea varieties I can't even pronounce!

I've been assimilated by the TEA BORG!

Resistance was futile!

[thank you!]

Told ya so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun! If you need help, yell. I might not be a tea expert, but I'm fairly good at calibre, LOL.

Try to convert it or view it. If it converts or views, the bad stuff is gone.

ProfCrash · 01-29-2011, 04:35 PM

Excellent. Thanks

Transfering 500 or so books. This might take a while.

I dreamed one night about brewing teas

I go to London in a couple of weeks and will pay a humble visit to Fortnum & Mason

When I saw Fountain coke from McDonald, all I have noticed were F&M. I had to re-read your post twice to realise the mistake

While typing, I finish Pu-Erh aged.
The next one will be something green.

Cold Arabica-coffee.

I'm not sure who Fortnum & Mason were, or are, but I'm pretty sure they'd be horrified at any connection between their tea nectar and McDonald's anything, LOL!!
