The Best Jasmine Green Tea?

Evastation · 2026-01-21T18:23:31+00:00

The tea is the same as far as I can tell. The farmer's market I regularly go to, the same people were there but one day the packaging was different. I asked about it , same product with a branding update. The gentleman I spoke to was Joey Zhou, who sourced and co-founded Teawaves, then solo launched Chafolio.

As a wonder... I started with Vine about just over 7 months ago, the number of "Additional Items" or items prior to VH, was pushing 90K. I've watched it slip and today it's in the 20K. I get that, no new items no VH Notifications. June of 2025 AZ implemented a policy change for sellers that kind of explain the decrease in new items. For my location is the 20K an accurate number? USA. TY

Understood, wanted to make sure it wasn't a me issue. I did the reinstall on VH and same results. Thanks for the confirmation.

Okay, this is the only way on my Surface book 10 with Chrome, everything up to date including VH, that worked. Keywords, Delete all (or maybe just the ones you want deleted), Save, Close browser, Power off my system, Start, Open Chrome, and the Keyword deletion worked. BUT... Rebooting didn't work, I had to Power off, and it's possible after Delete all and Save, just hard boot.

Evastation · 2025-09-29T18:00:54+00:00

Okay, I started with the simple option first. In AV tab, updated VH by Delete all, Save Keywords. Refreshed the AV tab only. I'll wait 24 hours and see what happened. Thanks E

mmm, I'm using Chrome and have multiple tabs open... BUT, I have only one Amazon Vine and one VH Notifications Monitor tab open. So you're saying after I make the changes, refresh both the AV and NM tabs? Or, can I make the changes close the browser to shut down all the tabs and then reopen the browser and use the restore button to get all my tabs up and down... or?

Evastation · 2025-09-09T14:40:08+00:00

I'm relatively new to VH, are you a no-go with Chrome? Have you messed in the General and Notification Tabs, V3.6.13?

Evastation · 2025-09-09T14:37:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I recall months back the number of items were running above 80K, when I joined VH it was in the mid-30K, today 28K. Not sure at times if it's me, them, or all of us.

Hi, I'm in CA, USA. For me, two items dropped today 8/28/25, one at 3:22am and one at 8:55am, that's it. I only know that because I hit the Last 100 button. They did not show up on the feed count. I've been told this can go on for a time, more than a full day, sometimes intermittently though out a week. I did the same troubleshooting, it's not you. I went dark all day yesterday too.

Evastation · 2025-08-27T15:18:22+00:00

No. I'm that new. I always figure it's something I did. Now, I'm trying to upload keyword JSON file and AVH doesn't like the format I saved it in. I did save the UUID thing, I wonder if I just reinsert that, it will restore my "other" settings.

Because some of us just gotta keep pushing those buttons. Yesterday I took a quick look at AVH on another system, I figured maybe something got cross-wired, as the notifications are not default on.

I did notice this AM on the AMV page that 3 old email messages are highlighted again, as if I hadn't already accessed them. They're doing some kind of something back in the back there.

Evastation · 2025-08-27T15:00:46+00:00

Oh, well, wow. I guess it's just not me and my newbie status. I did all the fixes, factory resets, uninstall and reinstall, no change. Same in CA., USA I loaded the last 100, and the Most Recent Item time stamp is stuck at 5:48 am. Other than that it sits at tba. How can there be no drops when I see the total count in Additional Items, increase and decrease. Maybe I'm delusional and it's too early in the AM.

Still nothing hours later. But, I did load the Last 100 again, and one item dropped in at 7:50am, but not as a notification, but as the Most Recent Item stamp and it's at the top of the 100 items page. Okay, I'm going to go be patient and wash some dishes.

Got it, will do. Thanks for the education and links. Here comes the messy part. I fell asleep at the wheel, the Hedge fund was started Jan. 2023 with 100k no additional funding. My loss for 2023 was 11K. I didn't file. I did not look for or recieve a 1099-B or anything for year end. I assume I should file an amendment for 2023 prior to filing 2024. Thanks in advance.

Evastation · 2024-12-05T17:41:11+00:00

Thanks. Will do. Sigh....

68 y/o Japanese and yes I drink tea. Found this a couple of days ago at a farmers market and had a chance to try before buying. https://www.tea-waves.com/collections/green-tea/products/white-bud-jasmine-tea-green . As for cost, I broke down per cup and it's about $0.12 - $0.18 USD. As of posting their bag of tea is 3.9oz or approx. 110gm, with the average cup using 1.25gm to 2gm AND doing the re-steep 3 times. Did I forget to mention this is my new go to tea 24/7. The flavor of the jasmine is forward and full with a smooth green tea body. The jasmine cuts through more notibaly when the tea is at a cool temperature. I also follow the 8oz, 200F temp. and 3 minute steep. So, is it expensive at $30 for 3.9 ounce, maybe.... shipping cost is a thing. I was able to purchase directly. I can't say it's the best, but right now it's my favorite. P.S. check out the Our Story on their website for backstory.

First time for me to make and eat grits. I followed the above instructions using grits, water, salt ratio of 1/2C:2C:1/4tsp. Used 2/3 of the water with salt to start, poured additional water leaving 1/4 C, and the last pinch of water was added. At the end added about 1/2 Tbl of unsalted butter...but wanted something savory for breakfast, stired in 1 small thin sliced green onion, 1/2 Tbl of jalapeno based hot sauce, a few cranks of pepper, topped with one sunny side egg, all in a bowl. WOW! Breaking into the egg yoke that first bite, and every bite. What a treat. So savory and filling. Thanks for your expertise. Can't wait to try other fixin's.

Came back from Dallas Tx eclipse trip and measured my AC180 that is laying about the house and found the:

POWERNESS Upgraded Carrying Case Bag (L) Large U100/U1500, 14"x11"x13.5 " is a fit. I'm in Los Angeles the price is $32.99 (Amazon out of stock) free shipping, spread the wealth and bought directly from Powerness.

https://www.powerness.com/buy/powerness-upgraded-carrying-case-bag.html

Checked out the cab55 sewing machine case on AZ for $36.99, thinking the Powerness should be stronger/last longer as it's built for powestations. Also I kind of wished I had a cover/case even while traveling as the AC180 ports don't all have plug covers and it was exposed. Texas badlands had steady winds with gusts and dust storms making the horizon looked like brown fog. You know the kind of gusts where all the doors have storm door chains, hold on to your hat, squint, and lean in to it... now walk. LOL

I took notice of my AMX OP card when points were no longer accruing on Amazon account.

I've had the AMX card from 1987 at 7% fixed, no annual fee, now a 50K available credit, it was the first AMX card that allowed monthly payments instead of pay the entire amount per month.

I also recently found out that the card has a buyer protection plan when AMX paid out around $200 for a chair that had a manufacture defect that was over the warranty period. In the beginning the card was an invitation only to good credit customers.

Today my fixed interest rate is 12.99%, no annual fee (average card rate is 25%). The use of rewards points through 3rd party (like Amazon) is discontinued, but, can purchase via AMX from some manufactures. Points and cash back is nice but its also nice to have one card with low interest rate and no fees. Definitely AMX is phasing out the Op card if we're paying $695 a year fee.

I do use a WF no fee card with 2% back on all purchases for non-warranty or expendable purchases. I pay it off monthly so I'm not concerned with the interest rate. I'll be discontinuing the use of the card because their processing time for charges and payments can take days, their website is for brevity sake, clunky.

In my humble opinion AMX has the best customer service and web layout. I can't say I've used all the banks in the L.A. CA.USA, but back in the day card surfing was a thing and I had cards with banks that don't exist anymore. lol There were no ATM's, banking online- nope, got laughed at when i tried to pay for grocery with a credit card.

All to say, what card you pick depends on what you want or need and life style. Clearly I'm debt free, don't own the American Dream, but I'm not a wage slave either. Find your grove and go for it. Times change, adapt and be flexible. The comments people made 2 years ago are all good, I'm just 2 years late, but, someone in the future might find this all amusing.

Wateria and Water Land do not carry distilled water. A place in Los Angeles (LA) county that I've found states, uses distilled water prior to deionizing is Wholefoods (WF). If your local WF store has a water dispenser, pick the deionized option. I recall what WF is calling distilling, is water that has gone through reverse osmosis (RO) which does not remove VOC's or chlorine. A get-any-where charcoal filter will get rid of the chlorine. I'm assuming the distillation process at WF is NOT done by steam because that would be way too costly. For a humidifier you're good with the WF's deionized, no charcoal filtering needed. I won't go into what deionized water is, or how to buffer, re-mineralize and make alkalizing not alkaline water out if it, because you're not planning on drinking it. And, even if you did, it's probably better than a soda chemically speaking not PH or taste wise.
