I went to get some loose black tea from Winco the other day. I looked at the price and it looked ok a bit under $2, but then I saw that it was $2 an ounce!!!! It was freaking $30+ a pound.

Needless to say, I did not get any.

I used to get loose black tea in Olympia for a decent price, it was still much more then buying bagged tea mind you, but it wasn't insane (more like $5 a pound or something).

I'll stick to my liptons (which isn't the cheapest option, but it's the cheapest option that doesn't taste horrid.....to me).

100 bags for $3 in general (unless you get them on sale, in which case I stock up).

If you buy empty tea bags, they're $2-6 per 100 count.

A lb of loose leaf tea gets you 227 cups of tea.

bagged tea is the chicken nuggets of tea.

Yesterday's tea: Morning pint of a blend of Chinese black tea. I should have ordered more of it, because I like it a lot, but I wanted to keep sampling new teas.

Night pint of Chamomile. That chamomile/lavender blend a few days ago did taste better.

Today's tea: Morning pint of definitively Assam, because it says assam on the box. This one has some astringency to it.

Night pint of a Nilgiri black tea. Second tasting. It tastes more like an oolong than a black tea.

Yesterday's tea: Morning pint of Rwandan tea. 3 minute brew. I think I should have brewed it longer. Or maybe, it might just be completely arbitrary why I liked it less than before. Night pint of Masala chai. I used the last amount of my better chai mix. The other mix I have has it's cinnamon overpower the other spices.

Today's tea: Morning pint of generic black tea that I can't find much information on. I think it's Assam. Or maybe, I'm just uncultured and say any tea that I find boldness as it's main attribute, is an Assam tea. Afternoon pint, was the second sample from my tea haul. A green tea flavored with citrus. Same complaints about flavored teas, but at least the citrus in this wasn't that overpowering.

Yesterday's tea: tried the last tea from my haul, a tea from thailand. It was black tea, but it was more like oolong. Purposefully, some of the leaf was not oxidized. Anyways, 1 pint of it, 1 cup resteeped. It was ok. Certainly, a very unique taste that has no comparison.

Also had a pint of my yixing black tea at dinner

Todays tea: A pint of yixing black tea for work.

Home from work. Just made some masala chai. I love this stuff. Haven't been making it recently because I didn't have milk/sugar, and it takes effort. Gotta make it the traditional way, or else it tastes like any other tea with milk but with spices added.

1-2 tablespoons of masala chai mix, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of water, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix 1 cup of water, sugar, and masala chai mix. Bring to boil, boil 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup of milk. Bring to boil, and when it's starting to foam over, take it off the heat, strain it, and it's ready.

Hi,

I never played any DMC games. I want to play one at least. There's like 6 of them now. Which ones to play? If I can only play 2, which ones? Don't make this complicated; spare me the details of why which ones are better or worse than the others.

Today's tea: a pint of Ceylon tea, brewed 3 minutes. Feels medium bodied that way, and fragrance comes out in its taste now, but it wasn't amazing. Also, gifted this one away, but I still got to try it. A pint of chamomile, lavender, and cornflower blend. I could only taste the chamomile, I'm guessing it's because I'm not familiar with the other flowers. A little disappointed, but it was still a good pint of tea.

Today's tea: still trying out more of my haul. A black tea from Rwanda. 1 pint for work, one big cup in the morning using the second steep, and 1 pint just now. The first pint was really good. Brewed for 4 minutes, and it had a medium body and delicate/floral flavors. The pint I made just now was 5 minute brew, and it was full bodied, and I couldn't taste the appealing floral notes earlier. It's on par with breakfast tea, but with minimum astringency. Favorite tea so far from the haul. I guess I should consider shorter brewing times more often, because 5 minutes is standard.

Speaking of good old animated uncle Iroh, remember his favourite tea, jasmin tea? I just want to say that jasmin tea is the best tea indeed. But not just any kind, because I had a cup of jasmin pearl tea this summer, and now I don't want to live without it. If you ever see this tea in a shop or restaurant, I implore you to try it. Even if it's the first cup of tea in your life, after a life of hating tea.

Unfortunately for me, Jasmine tea was disappoint. My mind is tainted, so I can't help but think of jasmine/flowery soap when I drink jasmine tea. I would still drink it, but it doesn't bring me joy.

The worst tea I've had was hibiscus tea. The acidity invokes the taste of vomit, and that's crazy to me because I've never tasted anything else that I would say tastes like vomit.

Today, 1 pint of Ceylon black tea. Second time I tried Ceylon tea, tastes like Assam, but lighter, I think? I have a hard time putting it into words what makes it different, and why I like the regular Assam I have better.

Also, Harney threw in some free samples. Just tried a flavored white tea, vanilla/grapefruit. Flavored teas aren't my thing. They all smell nice, but the tea itself seems more like an afterthought, and it always seems like it takes the backseat to the added flavor.

Yesterday, 1 pint of a Chinese black tea blend (of Keemun, Panyang and Yunnan) called Queen Catherine from Harney and Sons. I think it's my favorite tea from them. I haven't tried enough teas to find something similar. Every time I brew some, it tastes slightly different, because brewing time seems to affect it's taste more than usual, and also when I shake and mix the tea tin.

Also, a big cup of masala chai. Bought milk to make it, but forgot to pickup sugar.

Today morning, a big cup of yorkshire gold. Shit's been sitting in my tea cabinet for a while. I didn't like it no matter milk and sugar, or plain. Recently realized that all I had to do was brew it for a shorter time. Most of my stuff is loose leaf, but this is in tea bags, and it's processed into a powder that brews really quick, making it a lot more astringent and bitter than practically any other tea I have. Anyways, it was like a slightly lighter Assam tea.

Also today, recieved my shipment of tea from Harney and Sons. Had a pint of Nilgiri black tea. Tastes similar to Darjeeling, but with a less pine-y taste. I haven't figured out what makes it distinct though.

Today, 1.5 pints of black tea from Yixing. Wish I knew more about the tea, because it's really good. It's got an almost sweet/floral taste to it, non-astringent. Like Darjeeling, but richer. I'm scared of the day I run out of it, because I don't know where to get more because it was a gift.

---

I'm buying more tea faster than I can drink it, and I drink 1-3 pints a day. It makes me feel relaxed/good, and alert. Typically loose leaf, black tea without sugar/milk. I'll post here everyday until I get bored of tea.

Today, 1 pint of black tea, and 2 pints of darjeeling, resteeped once.

You should really try it, I loved it.

I'm worried about my lack of buoyancy. Lol

So scuba gear includes weights and what's called buoyancy control device. The cylinder is attached to this jacket that can inflate/deflate with air from it. What's really difficult skill is that you want neutral buoyancy so you can go up/down or float steady with ease, and every breathe you take/exhale, affects your buoyancy.

You won't ever sink like a rock, if that's your concern.

You should try really really spicy foods. Hallucinating pain never felt so good. It can only be described as feeling like you're dying, and the head rush once the pain starts subsiding, is orgasmic.

It's fine, I have it on occasion. I prefer earl grey if I'm just having a "normal" cup of tea. It's definitely better than boring old orange pekoe tea though.

But I have a rather ridiculous collection of teas from David's Tea so the flavours I have are quite varied. Yesterday I had a chocolate macaroon black tea that was quite delicious. Today I'll probably have a cup of banana grapefruit black tea.

30 years from now, we'll look back at this time period, and find that weird, exactly how cookbooks from the 50's had hundreds of ways of cooking food into jello.
