Blueberry tea is great black or with a sweetener. Since you have never had, allow me to pour you a cup!
**pours tea**
;)
I'd love some blueberry tea!
*holds up empty teacup*
My friend Mikaela from Sweden used to have Blue fruits tea made by Lipton and it was gorgeous! I love fruit teas! Especially Strawberry and mango twinings!:DQuote:

Fairy like hey? I think I made a thread on forum crush-you both perhaps need to visit? hint hint. lol. :-)
Not fair, no one calls me 'fairy-like', I've had 'monster-like'. :-(
You sure you're a her? :lol: You cant tell these days can you! :-)Quote:

I already carried out my plan for revenge: I slipped a little something in your blueberry tea. mwahaha. You'll be feeling pretty nauseated soon.:DQuote:

also, in response to the above tea discussions - blueberry tea is yummy but i am hooked on 2 specific brands of tea - kusmi and mariage freres. people, you have not lived until you have had their teas. i really love the green tea and floral blends from MF (like marco polo, lune rouge, casablanca...) seriously, heaven.
congrats, booksandtea. That's awesome. My family has a machine you can program like that, and it's amazingly wonderful. Good job getting it at a great price!Quote:

Alas all, the blueberry tea is history... But a nice strawberry blend is in order. Shall I? I will read all the above comments anew as the water boils, for you all are simply delightful!
Isn't it delicious the way that us girls can have our own thread, lol! ;)
** Knowing full well that a comment is likely on its way ** :D
I will love any fruit teas you have in store for us kiz! Yum :D Has anyone ever had mango tea?
** pours a spot of Strawberry tea for dramasnot6 **
Mango tea you say? If we had that here in the Prairies, I'd try it. I like any and all teas, except this one chinese variety (the name escapes me, but I'll post it when I remember it). This one variety smells like the remains of a house that has burned down ... or logs at a campfire that have just been doused with water.... do you get the point? Seriously, this tea tastes like those smells desribed above!
My favorite (hmmm. perhaps it is ONE of my favorites?) well anyhow, the one called Cherry Rose Festival is absolutely delicious -- a green tea with hints of both cherries and roses -- mmmmm!! :)
That Cherry Rose Festival sounds fantastic, I hope i can get a hold of it here...
Actually I am! In RL. I honestly dont feel too good. Head hurts and very very sleepy. Can the time change do that to you?Quote:

I have never had Chai before, but it sounds so popular that I really should indulge.
Does anyone have a coffeeshop that they enjoy going to for whatever reason? The reason I ask this is because there are two that I like to go to. One is a coffeeshop that features one mike entertainment on various nights. I say "one mike entertainment" because there is just a teeny stage and one microphone. For entertainment, they have had all kinds of different musicians, rather nice to sip your coffee (or tea) and hear blues, or a chamber ensemble, a singer, etc. etc.
The other place is a retro 'beatnik' type of place. Very casual, with a microphone, and they have poetry contests there. The term given is "Poetry Slams". Anyone can get up and belt out their poetry; or quietly read their poetry... does not matter, whatever the moment demands. And the poetry you get to hear, wow... mind blowing. And these are people just like you and I, not necessarily published authors. I actually think one of their rules is that it is strictly amateur... but I'd have to check. Anyhow, this can be the most entertaining way of hearing poetry and sipping coffee that life can provide!
Coffee shop, no, coffee house, yes. ;)Quote:

What next?! Well, that awful Kathy person is here, and demanding oatmeal scones. :p
BTW, that smoky Chinese tea is called lapsang souchong...(yes, I do have a brain crammed with trivia...)
Ahhh yes, thank you very much Kathy person -- that IS the name of the tea that smells like yesterday's fire. Interesting stuff, but alas, I'll not try it.
** Kiz passes the rolls, Kathy discovers an oatmeal scone near the bottom **
** Things are quiet once more as the girls sip their tea and watch Kathy spread strawberry jam atop said scone **
Mmm, jam. Ladies, please don't watch me do my "Homer Simpson yummy food drooling" imitation, ok? ;)
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h5...omer-drool.gif
The girls all politely watch kathy do her Homer imitation (lol!), and someone realizes that this is a COFFEE thread, and we have all been enjoying tea, albeit, lovely tea.
Kiz_Paws decides to pull out her cool Icelandic coffee-maker, and within moments, steamy delicious coffee is available. As they help themselves, the girls decide that no boys allowed isn't so bad afterall .... yet there is no one to tease here..... :idea:

I humbly accept your compliment, as I worried that perhaps I had stumbled into this site and bit by bit changed the direction that this thread was going ... you know? This is great fun ... even though the STONES that were consumed WERE POISON!!!Quote:

So there! ;)

"Hello..anyone here?"

Yes, Please come in....have a seat...What would you like to have? Filter Coffee?
