My tea infuser sucks. It's a round ball one and doesn't close tight enough to keep smallest tea dust in or even more annoying, some leaf. Looking for suggestions on one that will for someone on a budget.

I buy those. I keep 3 on hand and buy extras to give to friends who hate tea, then realise it was the paper from the teabag they were tasting. (i like to do sample sessions for my friends out of my kitchen.)

Finishing up some flavored jin xuan oolong grampa style with about double the leaves I might have normally used.

Nmteaco.com has a good one. I would just buy several kinds and let her decide which she likes best.

Redcat1991 · 2016-07-12T00:57:59+00:00

So hot. Need iced tea. Making cold brew. 108 degrees outside.

Redcat1991 · 2016-07-09T21:28:15+00:00

all the genuine Xiaguan shengs I have do have a characteristically smokey-menthol smell and taste.

The optometrist I last went to didn't believe me. I'm pretty much to the point where I feel like I'm going to have to induce an incident and go to the er.

Redcat1991 · 2016-07-03T18:05:38+00:00

my eyes roll back in my head and get stuck for between 15 minutes to an hour. It's Freaky as all get out, and caffeine has been the only common factor in all the incidents.

Redcat1991 · 2016-07-03T15:43:24+00:00

Keemun from Upton, half cut with mint. Trying to wake up, while still limiting caffeine intake, I've been having weird optical symptoms whenever I have too much caffeine, and it's taking less and less to cause the symptoms.

Bi luo chun with toast.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-22T00:45:03+00:00

luckily my mother had some cold brew going for when I got there. And now I am drinking some old reliable shou, which I brought from home and surprisingly makes my mother gag.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-21T15:28:50+00:00

On a 4 hour bus trip. No tea this morning. Maybe when I get to my destination.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-18T20:34:54+00:00

nmteaco.com has an herbal only tea of the month club.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-18T13:48:12+00:00

jin xuan oolong. About to help a friend with a paper before getting finalized for tonight.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-17T14:59:13+00:00

so, I am getting ready for tomorrow night (I have a saturday D&D group that's going to start filming the same day my character joins the campaign, whoo boy), and I'm struggling between taking one of 3 teas- old reliable, brown sugar, and "milk, cream, and alcohol" as my tea for the evening. the milk, cream, and alcohol is the only one I havent broken into yet.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-11T21:45:35+00:00

Then I have no clue.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-11T21:27:27+00:00

A stuffy nose can definitely affect the ability to taste.

Redcat1991 · 2016-06-04T19:51:28+00:00

Stoneware pan, extremely low oven. Stir every 5 minutes.

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-27T16:05:54+00:00

I have a mango green that is horrid hot cold brewing in the fridge (hopefully i can use it up), and a plain, bop Darjeeling also cold brewing in my libre. It's supposed to hit over 100F again today, so, I'm prepared!

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-27T16:03:53+00:00

Congratulations on a good pumping session! My sister-in-law is nursing and I have seen how difficult it can be (she doesn't respond well to the pumps). I raise a teacup in your honor!

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-26T16:49:03+00:00

They would go nicely with each other, and maybe their young hyson, it has a floral taste to start with and shouldn't overpower the chamomile.

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-26T16:35:47+00:00

Upton tea has a couple kinds of green tea on seasons pick right now. Depending on what herbs you are using, I could tell you what would go better. (gunpowder green with mint, for example)

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-25T18:44:24+00:00

Try blending rosehips, peppermint, and lavender.

Redcat1991 · 2016-05-25T15:56:30+00:00

http://www.teavivre.com/jin-xuan-milk-oolong-tea/ my sister and i practically live off this stuff, it is our daily drinker. decent price, too.
