What is in your cup? - Page 421

Good Earth Tea is another tea I started drinking as a teenager. it was really popular in Boulder with the "hippie crowd". it is EXTREMELY flavourful and a good alternate. I have always just purchased their teas at the store and did not know they had so many different types. it has hints of cinnamon, cardomum (sp?) and other incredibly yummy things.

Constant Comment is a classic. it has been around for over half a century. it may have been one of the earliest flavoured teas, at least it was for me. this was a constant companion (

) camping and backpacking for me

Market Spice Tea from the famous Pike Place Market is truly splendid. my aunt sent me this the first time I was stationed in Germany and I fell in love with it then. it is incredibly good! and older than the above tea, celebrating its centennial this year

http://www.republicoftea.com/search....mine&x=16&y=12 jasmine teas are a more delicate tea. a really good jasmine can make you feel like you are sitting IN a jasmine bush

http://www.republicoftea.com/search....green&x=33&y=7 and of course green teas can run the gamut from delicate to full flavoured and bodied.

http://www.republicoftea.com/product.aspx?p=V00611 last is gunpowder to give a truly different experience.

have fun!

They have Mate I decribed Mate, roasted

The only downside from my POV, next to nothing of Pu-Erh.

Their Assam's are yummy. I have had the Assam Mangalam before and it is good.

There are teas that I like at Teavana but they tend to be the less flavored teas. TG is just about my style.

Astra: Neither of your tea stores responded to my emails asking if they sold to the US. (pouts)

NBTea is easy to explain, I just found their newsletter:

Quote:

We will then close at 5pm Thursday 23rd of December 2010, for our annual holidays. You will still be able to place orders during this time but they will not be dispatched until we return at 9am on Monday the 10th January 2010

I have fogotten, they always do it.

Teahouse Emporium is a bit of a problem with emails (as I said

) You might try forwarding your email a few more time to grab their attention. That is what I had to do (the few times I sent emails, I forwarded the emails 2-3 times). When we visited Bath, they said it is better to call them. I think they are a bit scared of dealing with computers.

Woke up to an expected e-mail...
The real reason for my Florida visit, despite all the eating and shopping, was to spend time with my mother. She was dying of liver cancer, and had been fighting it for the past several years. The doctors finally told her that there was nothing more that they could do for her, so we planned our visit to spend some time with her to say goodbye face to face. Funerals aren't a good substitute.

Our timing was good. Mom passed away early in the morning of the 8th. She no longer has to suffer. May she rest in peace along side my father.

In my cup... memories.

Condolences & warm wishes my friend! You had a rare experience of being able to say farewell face to face with a loved family member, even though separated much of the time. Savor those memories.

Oh, Stitchawl. I am so glad you were able to go to Florida, and that you didn't put it off. I think that is something that will mean a lot to you once you get past this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am close to you, dear friend. You did the right thing at the right time. It must have been a great gift for her to be with you and say goodbye. Much love.

I hope that your memories of the good times help you cry happy tears in this time of mourning.

I've had to do that with two very special men in my life in the last year, one I got to be with when he passed, the other I had to say goodbye and know that was it. celebrate the time you had together

I know what it's like to see someone you love suffer, these past years must have been really difficult for you. My deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family.
