Seems to be an aquired taste. Like oysters. But then oysters do look like snot whereas the Pu-Erh looks rather nice.

Let's see if I can muster enough strength to try it again

Don't

You have to try a few different sources. Not necessary expensive.
Good cakes might be expensive but ...I posted how you have to brew it properly. *shudder* One must be the real teaist to go to the length.
Although, I suspect I will visit the Lady of The Chinese Tea Company over this summer. My better half is too curious now. I am sure we will leave with at least one cake

A cup of....air. Empty again! It was Sencha-Uji from NBTea. I must mention the source because now I am waiting for a parcel from Japan with two other Senchas...

I am off for today, but I will make a cup of tea. Probably floral oolong.

Just in case you were curious, Black Scorpions Tongue is a hot pepper. My Husband has been trying to tell me that it is a mild pepper for the last few weeks. I kept pointing out that the sweet peppers in our jungle, I mean garden, had names like Bluishing Beauty and Purple Beauty not Black Scorpions Tongue. I pointed out that the sweet peppers looked like bell peppers of various sizes and that the Black Scorpions Tongue looked like a habenero. He kept telling me that it was suppose to be mild and no hotter then the Beaver Dam Pepper.

So tonight we picked a young Black Scorpions Tongue. It was purple (it transitions from purple to cream to red). He cut it up and came to get me as his eyes were tearing up and his nose was running with snot. He has decided that it is clearly not a mild pepper.

A nice cup of Good Earth Original the "Sweet & Spicy Tea & Herb Blend" man I just love this stuff. And to go with it a Apple turnover

@ isis and rdjack21: welcome to "What is in your cup?" thread

The storm has come, not to the city but it has some effects. Temperature drops by 10 degrees, from 35 down to 25

The weather forecast says it sprinkles here all day today, and there would be no sun for several days ahead. I think I can trust weather forecast this time. I like rain, but today it isn't welcome to be here! The term just ended yesterday and I wanna go out

Walking in raincoat seems... awful.

Rereading Blues' TravelJournal is interesting. She should've been a writer.

Just water now. Maybe vodka after lunch. Should I drink vodka after lunch?

Second steeping of the Pu-tea this morning. Much better now, more metallic taste.

Maybe I am old fashioned

Screw comfortable, I only wear pretty shoes

LOL I wear Merrill's to work. The tops look OK but the bottoms have the tread of a hiking boot. I go for comfortable at all times.
