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-

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!

Namaste,

Tim

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.

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

Dear Eric and All,

 

As for me, I'm just a half-baked Mr. Potatohead. 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

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
