It is a Pu-Erh that, for some reason, is molded into a cake that looks like a mushroom. You pick pieces off and use those to make your tea.

Sounds cool! I'm imagining a huge mushroom made out of tea sitting on my kitchen counter, and people who want tea can just take a piece and make their own. It's designer tea ! But they're probably small mushrooms, so you can store them ?

All of my company is at the airport, preparing to fly out (after a last minute panic about rental car keys!) Maybe life can return to what passes for normal around here. We've got snow predicted for tonight and tomorrow morning, and of course I've got a relatively important doctor's appointment tomorrow. Will she even be open, and will I be able to get there? Who knows, this is Atlanta! Anyway, I have to make my bread and milk run later on today except for me it is a cat food and toilet paper run.

Black coffee in my cup right now. I saw a blueberry flavored black tea (loose) at Ikea yesterday, but I didn't buy it. Maybe I should have, because I like blueberry coffee even though it sounds awful.

For you, Iridal. I've got's lots to spare today.

ONE CUP OF HAPPINESS
(Thomas Baker-Knight)

Dean Martin - 1969

Say, Waiter, would you kindly stop, take my order please
Tonight I'm full of emptiness and old-time memories
So I need somethin' special that'll chase the blues away
And help me to forget about the dreams of yesterday

Just bring me one, one cup of happiness and one peace of mind
I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find
I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind
One cup of happiness and one peace of mind

Say, Waiter, I just thought of somethin' that I've never tried
I'd like to have a little bit of heaven on my side

You know it may sound funny, but when I was passin' by
The sign up in your window is the thing that caught my eye
I don't recall exactly, but I do believe it said
We guarantee to satisfy, so you go right ahead

And bring me one cup of happiness and one peace of mind
I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find
I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind
One cup of happiness and one peace of mind

It is pretty large, about the size of a giant Hershey's Kiss like they sell around Christmas and Valentines day.

Pu'er Tea is one of the classic export teas to Tibet from Yunnan. One of the most popular shapes of Pu'er for the Tibetan market is a 250 gram weight compressed tea that is molded into the shape of a large mushroom. We used the Tibetan Mushroom Mold to press a small lot of Mushroom shaped Pu'er. We call it Golden Mushroom and is a new style of tea we made using golden tipped Yunnan Dian Hong black tea. The result is a very strong and malty black tea with a sweet and sour flavor and robust, deep red infusion color.

I can't wait to try it but it really needs to be something that I take the time to enjoy so I am trying to be patient and wait for the weekend.

The conference I am attending is serving this brand and I have not been impressed.

I think it is official, I am a snob.

I would think: toiletpaper....the cats can eat your food if need be.

I hope everything will be allright for you at the doctor tomorrow. Good luck.

Dont you worry about that; you don't sound unhappy with it.

I keep thinking about the paddo-shops that had to close a few years ago, after a French tourist in Amsterdam had a bad paddo-trip.
I take it these mushrooms for your tea are carefully selected an not in the range of these?

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee.

Do you think this would work with other flavorings? Vanilla syrup, Raspberry, etc.

I don't see why it wouldn't, but finding the flavorings here will be the hard part.

The True Blueberry CS is really good, according to the friend of mine that drank it all, LOL. I bought a box of Blackberry flavored black tea this weekend and it's quickly become a favorite.

I'll be glad when you're back to what passes for normal too, I've missed you

. I'm home sick today myself so am probably going to make a cream cheese bagel and a cup of tea and head for the couch shortly.
