Maybe is a question of the language. The Spanish wikipedia article about Pu-erh starts "Pu-erh tea, also known as red tea...". The brand is "Laggs", a Mexican importer of tea and stuff related with it.

Furthermore, the Spanish article about aspalathus linearis (rooibos) says "...it is also known as rooibos tea (South-African red tea, which should not be confused with pu-erh red tea)..."

I'm not an English lord to pay that

Morning, everyone.

A new week has come.

I'm having hot milk. Very sweet.

Soy shake with banana and kiwi. Swam the k, now heading the mall to get a garden table for my dad.

Coke Zero #1.

Others in my household are very fond of Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water blend.

I'm a big fan of "Yorkshire Tea" but the regular variety, not even their 'Gold.' In fact, you've inspired me... I'm going to make myself a cup right now!

The English language Wiki does not mention red Pu Erh at all. I had to do a search on the term and finally found a page or two that called it that.

In the US Red = Rooibos.

A hard-working day of my kidneys: milk, Baileys, Pepsi, water, more Pepsi, peach nectar. Still more coming.

Parents are away. Home alone is so sweet.

What is the worst thing about Monday?

@ everyone: How are your Mondays?

After a while without power thanks to the hurricane, and a longer spell before that in which we had a distracting houseguest, I am back on MobileRead! I am celebrating with a Monster energy drink before I head off to PT.

Welcome back.

I only wish that everyones Irene experiences were more similar to my husbands and mine. Boring.

Pot one Rooibos Lemon.

I'm glad Irene was mild, and pretty boring, as described by Prof Crash.

But what is PT?

Skibble · 08-29-2011, 09:38 AM

PT is Physical Therapy. I have a foot injury that's no fun, and I go to see someone who helps me work on making it strong again so I can walk properly.

Irene was indeed boring for me, but then again, when I lived down south I went through Katrina, as well as Ivan (which dumped a tree on my home). After that, everything else just seems like plain old rain.

ProfCrash · 08-29-2011, 09:48 AM

In my area it was just some rain. There was more wind on Sunday then Saturday.

There are areas by the sea and rivers that have not been as lucky.
