I love that search function on the Kindle!

I just checked, and yep, that's what she drinks. She calls it "redbush" tea, or just bush tea, but according to that wiki article, it's the same thing.

Thank you for checking it out! I'm always pleased (and surprised) when my brain actually remembers something correctly!

That's great, Pooh!

But I think it's time to clean your brain filter.

Paul how the heck are you brewing your tea? I know I am spoiled, I have a hot water dispenser sitting on my desk. Granted, facilities doesn't want it there but what they don't know can't hurt them, but even walking to the hot water tap in the kitchen it would take me 5 minutes max to sttep a cup.

Speaking of which, I am currently drinking a pot of Sweet Oolong Revolution from Teavana. I am planning on brewing a pot of Bancha after this pot of Oolong.

I also see that I am going to have to stay logged on to keep up with all the posts in this forum....

I am sitting on my new sectional....recliner, seat, recliner, seat, corner unit, seat, recliner.......I have waited for three years to be able to order, and then 10 more weeks for it to arrive.....

Worth every second.

And.....does anyone else love love the passion tea w/lemonade, sweetened they sell at Starbucks? I'm not a fan of their coffee.....but the tea is yummy.

I think I must be some kind of non conformist, cause that tea/lemonade at Starbucks is the only thing they have I actually DO like!
Congratulations on the new sectional! I know how much I love mine - it's not quite as fancy as yours, just a chaise on one end of a couch with a curve at the other end, but I love it. Best looking and most comfortable couch I've ever owned.

Thought long and hard about the chaise....it was available, but it just took up too much room.....my living room isn't that large.

Now when people come over everyone has a place to sit!

I must admit to being a tea snob. The only time I drinked a bagged tea is when I am flying. My bag is always searched when we fly internationally because I declare that I have my loose leaf tea with me. I normally carry 10 types of loose leaf on a vaction. My husband thinks that I am nuts.

Your new couch sounds wonderful. Enjoy it!

recluse · 10-07-2010, 02:43 PM

Then I must be the ultimate nonconformist, because I don't own a couch and I wouldn't enter a Starbucks at gunpoint.

Neither is ours...as a result of Chris and I falling in love with this couch; our living room now only arranges ONE way.
