Maybe it just looks that way because you partially lapped me.

I think I know how you feel.
You don't have radiators with centralised heating system at home, do you?

If I am right, then it is similar to Israel. It is very hot over there. Houses are built to dissipate the heat? It works when it is hot and when it is...cold. The house doesn't keep any warmth in it, so if it is +8 outside, it is maybe 2-3 degrees more inside? Without heating you do feel it. Electrical heaters help, as do air-conditions but they are very expensive to run because you gotta run them all the time because the house doesn't hold the warm air...portable radiators with oil inside are a little bit better but...

Didn't notice, but could be deleted by mod of on request poster. Sometimes such a forum like this confuses people.

edit: saw that Dreams found the thread you meant:

in my cup: last sips of my good-for-my-health-but-don't-like-it water.

Finishing pot two of rooibos ginger getting ready to brew a pot of Oolong, although not sure which one yet.

Well you're all right, the houses here are built to help us stand a wide range of temperature: from 5 to 40+ degrees celsius. but I think it's a little warmer in my room because I keep the window shut.

I just live here in this house temporarily, so I don't think it's necessary to have any more device in this small room of mine. on the other hand, I have enough chargers and cables to stumble on: laptop's, cell phone's, ipod's, kindle's, study lamp's, camera's...

Between my Tea Gschwendner and Lupicia gift bags I am not going to need tea for a couple of years.

OK so the surprise teas from Lupicia:

Green/Oolong bag

Ripe Mango Oolong
Momo oolong Super Grade
Chestnut
Matcha Kirara Rice Tea (A Genmaich/matcha blend)
Melon Oolong
Strawberry Vanilla
Happiness Green tea and green rooibos with fresh fruit and flower petals

Black Tea Bag

Silonibari BSP (CTC) I think this is an Assam
Passion Island passion fruit and mango
Oasis Tropical fruits and rose hip
Kiwi
Decaf Carol strawberry and vanilla

More Green

Grapefruit Green
Sakuramo Vert (Green with Cherry)
After 5 Peppermint and Spearmint
Tsugaru Green Apple green tea
Sencha Chiran

Tea Bags (They came with it, I had no choice)

Momo Oolong Super Grade
Happiness
Sencha Matsuri
Jasmine Manderin Special Grade

It should be an interesting month or so at work as I try new teas.

Are they loose teas?

Shu Pu-Erh.

ProfCrash · 01-11-2011, 03:08 PM

80% of the order is loose leaf. There are four bagged teas that I listed.

Ah, missed this one.

Matcha Kirara Rice Tea (A Genmaich/matcha blend) - sounds very interesting

ProfCrash · 01-11-2011, 03:24 PM

I will be surprised if I find any teas that I feel like I need to buy. I am not a huge fruity tea fan. There are a few that I like but the fruit is more subtle and you can taste the tea. The Lupicia Green Grapefuit and their Cherry tea do not fall into this catagory, the fruit flavor overwhelms the tea.

If I don't find something I love this year it will be my last year doing the good luck bags. I am a sucker for a grab bag though...

Heh. I have not come across it over here, but would not fall for it.
Control freak speaking

ProfCrash · 01-11-2011, 03:30 PM

I kind of lose control around tea. It is a problem of mine...

I apply all my willpower to stay calm. Yesterday, I have sorted out my Tea bookmarks. I have so many interesting teas in there. Mind boggling.
So far, only having about 30 samples of green teas that I got to finish stops me from the crusade.
