What is in your cup? - Page 488

Black Coffee (again) - but this time with a side serving of Booja Booja Dark Chocolate Truffle .....

Caffeine count probably goes through the roof in the next wee while ....

That lemon-lime drink was really nice, but I thought I'd just add a bit of tequila to the second one. Oddly enough, that made it even better!

This time difference between us really messes with my mind.

Still black coffee time here...

YOU FIENDS!!!

YOU MERCILESS FIENDS!!

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!]

The boss just called TeaSmith and booked two places for their Masterclass
Very curious

Ahmad Hampton Breakfast has been judged and the verdict is in. It is much better than any tea bags. It is better than New English Teas's English Breakfast. However, that's it. No more than it will do nicely.

The best part of course is the tin

With your proportions, you cam afford drinking it instead of tea and coffee, which are pure water calorieswise

You are welcome.

ProfCrash · 01-29-2011, 11:47 AM

OK I am jealous about the tea class. I need to find something like that around here.

This will probably enter my house in the near future.

Just saying.

I saw it. My doubt is that while keeping the water at a given temperature is certainly a big advantage in terms of patience. you want it you get it, now. But it is over cooked, right? I sort of got the impression that freshly boiled water should be better. Can you understand my delirium?

ProfCrash · 01-29-2011, 12:01 PM

hehehe You can make enough water to make one cup. Some folks at Kindle Boards got it and are loving it. They say it takes minutes to get tothe right temperature.

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.
