Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Dear All, may I advocate Chinese tikuanyin tea. One sip and you will forget about philosophy while that herb coats your soul with magical presence. By the way, I agree that- "A poet can > survive anything > but a misprint." Poets are rarely enlightened though. They are usually just half baked mediums. love eric. Hi Harsha, Try Tetley British Blend (blue box, and round teabags). There's nothing to read, because the teabags don't have tags at all, but it makes a delicious cup of tea!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Recently I bought Salada tea along with the usual Lipton brand. It is a generic competitor of Lipton I think. The Salada brand is cheaper and the tea bags do not come individually rapped. I usually put both the Salada tea and the Lipton tea simultaneously in the hot water, trying to have the best of both worlds. Cheap tea as well as status. This morning as I put the Salad tea in the cup, I noticed that the Salada tag had a saying on it. It stated, "A poet can survive anything but a misprint." Then I started looking through other Salada tea bag tags. I can do this because Salad tea bags are not individually rapped. There is a cute, funny, or wise saying on every tag! Well, they are not all great but this company is trying. So here we have a generic tea bag company but they have distinguished themselves (at least in my eyes). It is Salada tea for me from now on. In case a Lipton executive is reading this, Lipton better get with the times. Love to all Harsha /join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-done never, medium always in this starry-eyed poet's potatoface. Cut me up with criticism and toss me by the wayside, and lots of little baby poets will sprout up and begin spouting out new and vigorous love epithets. If I turn green though, with any hint of envy, always be sure to peel me first, (with any old ego-stripping tool) before any attempt is made to chow down on my "what cannot be seen" kinda poems. As to the tea being talked about, I used to really enjoy a good cup of black currant tea, sold by Mr. Bigelow, I believe. For several years now I have been unable to obtain any of this tea. I wonder if they still make it and if they do, why it isn't available here in the US. Anyone know? I'm particularly fond of the spicy Indian teablends offered Tealuxe. They even provided it in a little Shiva/Hanuman lunchbox container. In the garden there are several varieties of mint growing. Peppermint, apple mint, and lemon mint. I do use the peppermint leaves, dried, for tea now and again. Wild roses grow all over this area in abundance. It's a wonderful rose called "Sweetbriar" rose. It has the most unusual thing about it, one that is highly prized for something other than its beautiful and/or fragrant blossom. Its leaves are scented! They smell exactly like a crisp, green apple, ripe with aroma! If these leaves were crushed and held under my nose, I wouldn't know that it's a rose's leaves giving off that delightful fragrance. I might even cry out, "Not true!" That is until I was shown the apple-scented leaves and not an actual apple. It also has the most incredible thorns on it I've ever seen on a rosebush. This plant can grow upwards of 12 feet, and just as wide. It's stalk is covered thickly with needle-sharp, curved, 1-1 and a 1/2 inch thorns. It would be perfect for anyone looking for a natural deterrent to thieves entering in a window. Oh, yes, and it blooms twice a year with 1-3 inch, five-petaled, pink flowers. If anyone has an interest in acquiring a piece of this rosebush or a small plant, let me know and I will figure out a suitable method to mail you some. Of course, if your laws are anything like those here in CA concerning importing plant material, it may be forbidden. Perhaps it's only CA that has the strict laws because of our huge export income from the fruit, grains, vegetables, and nuts that we grow here and ship around the world. Maybe I'll try to make some kind of mint-rosehip tea. Love, Peace, Mazie > > > Hi Harsha, > > > > Try Tetley British Blend (blue box, and round teabags).

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 I have made indian chai shop tea every morning for over 30 years. It is made with 'mamri' that is tea dust. Sometimes I buy yellow or red label Indian Lipton. I have always used ginger root and ground black pepper as my masala. I don't like the cardamon. The art of chai is timing. Knowing when to add the chai , the milk and the most important part is knowing when it is done. frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
