Thanks! I usually order from TeaSpring.com but they can be slow to clear customs. Everything I have ordered from them has been very nice. I’ve also been wanting to order from Kuan Yin Teas. Not sure if anyone here is familiar with them, I think they’re out of Seattle.

Bricks and pearls are the real deal. Peet's had a brick offering just after they screwed the pooch with Mighty Leaf; as good as those bricks were, it didn't come lose to making up for their fuckery. Prefer bricks/discs, and I like to cut it with a bit of second level Darjeeling to strengthen the brew.

Hibiscus, and roasted barley green tea are the current options I'm working through. I prefer coffee but I pick up teas on occasion.

Has this been covered yet?
I used to work with two British ladies who made tea every afternoon at three. They were of the opinion that tea should always be made in a pot. Enough for each person and one for the pot.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Circa 2006 I was a college student in Seattle and my now-wife took me to Teahouse Kuan Yin on a weekend outing. Very cool spot and sparked my interest in global tea culture. Good throwback, sad to see they lost their spot in Wallingford

Ya. My 93 yo Father in law from the Isle of Man insists on a pot. And one must warm the pot first. And use a tea cozy. And put milk in the cup before you pour it. My wife is the same way. Milk in tea reminds me of dirty dish water. I'd rather drink stale bongwater. Fortunately we have multiple sizes of teapots that my wife made. The Brown Betty is tucked away safely in a cupboard. Of course my daughter and I are lazy and just throw a bag in a cup. And my wife mostly drinks coffee.

No love for matcha? I'd dig it, usually with a little honey.
If we're going to include things that get steeped in boiling water but aren't actually tea, then I'll second hibiscus. It's delicious, tastes just like cranberry. You can buy a pound of bulk flowers online for $10-15 and it lasts a really long time.

Well, Indians have no problem with that, and they do everything ingestible/imbibe able better than the gap-toothed brits.
I got hooked on tea drinking Indian chai in the local bazaars. Steeped in milk, cardamom, sweet basil, pepper and a shit ton of sugar. Water buffalo milk was the best. That being said, I do not steep my tea in milk; different teas require different amounts of milk, so must be added at the end.

Back when I used to take clients out for coffee I would generally have had a pot full by that time of day, and paying $5 for a coffee seems stupid. So I said “two of those” when a client ordered a chai latte and enjoyed it. That became my go to coffee shop drink. After starting to make it at home a few years back I did the milk and honey thing. Then after a cold impatient morning wanting a hot beverage now I skipped that whole bit and drank it black. Way easier to see the underlying flavors of the brand (duh) and also way easier to make it a 16 ounce drink instead of 8. I hear I’m supposed to drink more water.

Heh. Installation guide for the garbage disposal. I was getting a lot of reflection from the new countertop. We are in the middle of some kitchen refresh. So I needed anything I could find to set it on.. The glaze my wife used is pretty cool. It's hard to photograph that piece unless you use indirect natural light. The pic doesn't really capture the color well.

Thx. The spouts are hit or miss, so it's just as likely to end up with one that doesn't pour well and dribbles. Some of them can be made right by using a tea spout thingy. She has stopped making them for now. The one in the picture is the one my father in law uses when he's with us.

Quit coffee a year ago. My go to is a cup of this with some local raw honey in the morning.
I'm also 1 month into a honey ginger garlic that I think will go well with it
