I’m not actually sure how a samovar works. There’s a teapot on top of a thing of hot water with a fire under it? I think I imagined the whole samovar was just full of tea all the time

I also found this youtube channel called Around the Samovar and it's just like a Russian folk group and my Big Find of the Day! Highly recommend if you like Russian folk!

i got some peppermint tea over the holidays and now i can't stop drinking it all day every day

if i get peppermint poisoning it's worth it

I've been sampling herbal teas from Upton

Winners:
Naturally Flavored Rote Grutze - A good one to drink by a fire when it is cold. Like a weaponized form of Raspberry Zinger. Deep red color that could pass for red wine.
Organic Ginger Carrot Beetroot Herbal Blend - I've had a bunch of ginger teas recently and this is a standout with a lot of complexity that doesn't kill you with spicy ginger
Naturally Flavored Rooibos Candied Almond - For dessert

Underachievers:
Naturally Flavored Chamillo Blend - I mean, it's not bad, but the other flavors overpower the chamomile, which I would have liked to taste

Losers:
Honeybush Green Organic - Not good. Also, this comes from some kind of bean plant, so it might count among the forbidden bean teas.
Organic Rooibos Vanilla - I don't really like rooibos by itself and this manages to accentuate the flavor I don't like in it

^^^I need to try that Rote grutz stuff I guess. I've been trying to find a non-caffeinated wine substitute for the evenings.

first cup of uptons mincing lane breakfast blend is pretty good. Think I steeped too long (said 5 min on the package)-will try again with shorter steep. Also kind of smoky but in a nice way with good body. It's kind of like more robust, slightly smoky east frisian tea or somethin.

Time for some mao-feng jasmine tea

Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
my friend got me something called tea drops for christmas and they're really compressed cakes of tea powder and sugar that you toss into a mug of boiling water like a bath bomb. It's a pretty neat idea for people who want to try something that isn't just bag tea, and they're not too sweet.

Buttchocks

No, I like my hat, thanks.
Tonights tea is Taylors strawberry vanilla green. It has a very strong artificial small, but the flavor is subtle. Better than I expected.

Brewing up the rest of my Yunnan gold leaf to have with some cookies.

Finishing off my Old Reliable puer and waiting on new stuff. I guess I'll have to get into some maple oolong in the meantime.

Tonight I am drinking Dragon's Treasure brand Gingerbread tea. I like gingerbread, but this tastes like black tea with molasses. If gingerbread houses have toilets, this is what the contents would taste like. Maybe it would be better if I put royal icing around the lip of my mug.

couldn't make up my mind so I'm double-fisting a teacup of sencha yamato and a tulip glass full of coffee stout

Ahmad hasn't steered me wrong. I found out about them because apparently the owner of it is a cousin of one of my coworkers who is a cool dude? I work with cool ppl and it is both cool to know I still work with them and that they share a love of teas.

out of peppermint and back on my usual hibiscus so i just ordered half a kilo of hibiscus

I wish I knew how the hibiscus saison I made right before leaving my last company turned out but it was finished after I left and didn't ever want to give them any of my money again.

GOOD MORNING
I was in here jammin in the reggae thread and saw this thread so good on yall

I've been on a tea kick lately, as I wanted to not start my morning off with the same cup of coffee every day. Not great for the gut, I suppose. I have tea after my breakfast when I'm sittin down for work, and one in the afternoon just because!

We have an awesome tea shop here downtown, so I went and re-upped today and got some Golden Dragon (a black tea) and their local blend. I like green teas too but they have one herbal one called fuzzy fruits and its pretty fruity and fun

Also our teakettle's toot is like the noise an older beaver would make if they could whistle so that's pretty BYOB dont you think

Had a bit of the ol' jasmine this morning.

Buttchocks

No, I like my hat, thanks.
Today's tea is not labeled, like at all. I'm not even sure this tea, it might just be random floor cruft. Tastes ok. I have some dried mushrooms I could toss in to make cup-a-soup.

Woh, is that a thing I like??

That really is a sad turn of events:(

Terrible home remedy: I don't really get strep throat often, but when I do I go for something to drink/eat with loads chili in it and just embrace the pain.
I then gargle whiskey and crawl into bed.

This is really solid advice, but IDK what it has to do with strep.
