Time for afternoon tea.

I wonder if I should try a new blend.

Warm summer day and I test MWIF while sipping mint tea. Life couldn't be much better than this, unless a AI for MWIF was released. [:D]

A cup of poppy seed tea, please? [;)]

Just kidding of course. I am currently addicted to peanut butter and jelly.

I suppose warm mild can work although I can not remember ever trying it before bed time.

Late evening I rather go for herbal tea.

I have an unopened pack of Chinese green tea called "Special Gunpowder" which I'm not prepared to open.


I'm actually wasting time this morning to delay getting down to doing some unpleasant admin and, for reasons too complicated to explain here, came across this odd bit about how wild boar are hunted:


"In Nepal, farmers and poachers eliminate boars by baiting balls of wheat flour containing explosives with kerosene oil, with the animals' chewing motions triggering the devices."

Game of Thrones teas ...

Someone on another forum recommended PG Tips to me, and I see it mentioned here. It's awesome tea, and Target carries it. I drink a pitcher or two a week of iced PG Tips. Might try some tea from Trader Joe's someday, as I've heard it can be good and is a bit cheaper.

Had a barley tea at a Korean restaurant. I liked the food, but not the barley tea.

Britain’s daily cuppa could soon taste different. The picking of high quality tea in Darjeeling has been brought to a virtual standstill by ethnic unrest. [:(]
