[PorcelainHeart]

I haven't had tea in a long time or even coffee.

 

[simply intolerable]

i walk out of class sometimes to go make myself some tea during school

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I make tea when I'm stress.

 

[VickiY]

I make tea all the time! *Now sipping: a nice, smoky, Lapsang Souchong (by Twinings)

 

[VickiY]

Just finished some housework, and now enjoying a black tea with apple, before going in to deal with more housework.

Waiting for the water to boil to make some Blueberry Harvest infusion.

Mmm....I've tried peach, apricot, strawberry, Black pekoe, Green tea, Valerian and currently French Vanilla flavored black tea So soothing...but kinda hard to get out of the system after hours...

They let me start last year drinking it...before I was not able to...and now I can...but I cannot drink any coffee...yet...because it makes you nervous...but there were times when I sneaked and drank some when Mom wasn't around and when I was out at my aunt's!

Can someone tell me what Earl Grey tea is?

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I'm back from my small hiatus, I wish I could get my CF pet back now.

I had tea this weekend.

Earl Grey is a black tea blend with bergamot oil. Bergamot orange is a citrus fruit originally grown in Northern Italy. The tea does not have an orange flavour, but it is very fragrant. There's a rather excellent article in Wikipedia on the subject...including famous fictional characters whose favourite it was.

One of my favourites. Hmmm...maybe I should go make some now....The two favourites I have are Twinings Earl Grey, and The Republic of Tea's "Earl Greyer". Bigelow's Earl Grey for some reason doesn't quite do it for me.

OK...I'm convinced...water now boiling for some Twinings Earl Grey!

 

[PorcelainHeart]

Cool, nice tea facts.

 

[VickiY]

Can't post a poll, but, how many types of tea are in your cupboard?

I have 17 at last count! (yes, you can include infusions)

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I need some tea now.

 

[VickiY]

Have any mystery lovers read Laura Childs "Tea Shop Mysteries"? Wonderful series....Going to make some tea now!

(MarmaladeGirl...I pondered your words on tea, and you can get some very decent tea for the same cost (less, actually), than a 2-liter bottle of coke....as, boxes of tea have at least 20 tea bags that make 20 MUGS (more than 8 oz) of tea...so in the long run, ounce per ounce, tea rules! ) Also, if you have good dollar stores nearby, with a high turnover, you can get some quite decent tea.....

 

[PorcelainHeart]

We have tons of dollar stores around, hmm I been very sad so I really need some tea.

 

[VickiY]

Yes, I read your other posts Hope things get better for you soon!

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I put alot of my pain in my blog, I just feel so much. I feel sadder then most people. I have been working on it.

 

[thenewageriseth]

Thank you for the info on Earl Grey. Marmalade I am in the same boat. I should be much happier, but find myself slipping into a funk.

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I'm in a huge funk now, and I keep slipping.
