What is in your cup? - Page 396

Ivy · 01-02-2011, 06:57 PM

Aww thanks guys

I finished my tea and now I'm thinking about making a new cup. I'm not really feeling like drinking it but I know it helps.

Mint or forrest fruits?

ProfCrash · 01-02-2011, 07:01 PM

Mint, it is soothing.

IMO, anything that you like. Whichever is more palatable for you

The whole idea is to get lots of warm liquid into you then flash it down and repeat the circle

OK. ProfCrash has beaten me. I withdraw

ProfCrash · 01-02-2011, 07:04 PM

Nah your advice is excellent. I just like lemon and mint infused teas when I am sick because they tend to be soothing.

Ivy · 01-02-2011, 07:11 PM

Yeah, I'm more into mint. I'll go make some more. Seriously, next time I get sick I better be at home because taking care of myself when I am sick is no fun

Cranberry tea, with a teaspoon of honey.

Wow! I really overslept today! It's 9:30 and I just crawled out of the rack! Got a mug of Taylors of Harrowgate English Breakfast Tea going down and it's doing its job of waking me up. Gonna need a second one before I can make it to the shower. I must be getting old...

Do you have a link to this cranberry tea? I looked around at the Korean market today because apparently there is a tea made with just about anything you can think of there. (I even found one with cannabis something-or-other as an ingredient. Really??) I didn't find any cranberry, though.

I'm drinking some sort of Celestial Seasonings -- not my regular one, though. And this one is pretty weak because I was too lazy to get another teabag so I just poured more boiling water on this one.

It's hot, but that's about all I can say for it.

The detested L company has a Cranberry Pomegranate green tea that's pretty good, Betty. Not to mention cheap and easy to find.

I should be drinking tea, because I'm freezing, but instead opted for diet dr pepper to eat chips and ranch dip with.

I did go buy some more varieties of tea yesterday (still cheap, and still the nasty L word, sorry, ProfCrash, LOL). I got peach/mangosteen, mixed berry and citrus green teas. I know that if I turn out not to like the citrus tea hot, that I will definitely like it iced.

It's from a Croatian company called Encian. The cranberries are imported from Quebec. It's the only tea that I could find here that is 100% cranberry, all the other cranberry teas (also Croatian brands) were mixed teas. I just checked their website, and they don't ship outside of Croatia, unfortunately.

Pomegranate tea was my favourite tea growing up! I'd love to check out that Cranberry Pomegranate green tea.

bjones6416 · 01-02-2011, 08:11 PM

Okay, I guess I'll just have to go with the cannabis tea, then.

(Just kidding, I didn't buy it because it looked scary.)

I may check out the L tea, though.

bjones6416 · 01-02-2011, 09:01 PM

Found a link to the cannabis tea!

http://www.kakootea.com/

And how could I have forgotten that the ingredient was actually labelled as "semen cannabis?"

(Apparently that is hempseed.)

OMG. Well, we (the store) had hemp brownie mix at one point.

Today I've had:
2 Diet dr peppers
1 cup Mandarin Orange green tea
1 cup mixed berry green tea
1 cup superfruit mangosteen and peach green tea.

I also succumbed to curiosity and picked up a box of the vanilla caramel truffle black tea in pyramid bags. Tried one last night and ... well, it's unique. I sweetened it but didn't add milk. I think I might try it with milk later, but as of now, it is definitely NOT my favorite.

My "pattern" of preferring the green teas is still going on. And I still eagerly anticipate getting to go to the Adagio store in Naperville.

May I be outrageously bold and give a piece of advice?
Try Sencha-Uji - Japanese Sencha
or Dragon Well - Chinese green tea.

Stitchawl - I crawled from my bed at 09.49 and feel absolutely no guilt or surprise. It is perfectly normal for me on holidays

I cleared up my sleepy head with Assam STGFOP1 S Harmutty

The cup is empty and I am off to the kitchen to prepare a cup of Keemun.
