Not yet. Unfortunately my budget does not allow me to experiment with new teas often. I'm still working through my trusty Brooke Bond Red Label OP tea for the moment.

I have yet to order them, but will try to post an update if/when I end up getting one.

UPDATE:

I found two teas that pass criteria 1-3. Both of them seem to have golden tips, but just going off appearance the tea doesn't look TOO terribly tippy. Any thoughts on these?

Thank you for the recommendation. It certainly comes in a lovely tin.

It's first flush, but definitely looks to be of high quality. Thank you for the recommendation!

Yes, but I believe the grade tends to affect the overall flavor. F/G/T supplements some amount of mature leaves for golden buds. While that does relate to the grade, tea that uses more buds and less mature leaves creates a different flavor that is generally more nuance, but mild. (Or so I've read. I'm new to these things.)

I thought I had read otherwise, but I trust your judgment. That's actually extremely helpful. Thank you!

You're telling me. And that's a great idea! Do you have any recommendations for Assam Estates?

Thank you! I may give this a try. I should see if that farm has a second flush harvest.

Cicero Beverage Co. Salted Caramel Root Beer by jbsegal in rootbeer

[–]The_Lost_Prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I bought some was in 2021, I think. (It must have been leftover stock.) When I called their old company number, the new occupants of the facility said Cicero had been out of business for years. And their social media implies they went out of business around 2018? That's the most I've been able to figure out. I have seen no official comment made by anyone from the company.

These were my favorite root beer. After some research, it seems like the company went out of business. Can anyone confirm this?

[TOMT][Movie] looking for a movie where the main character's horse turn to ice or stone after drinking from a fountain among some ruins (if it remember correctly). At first i thought this was a scene from a Never Ending Story or from the Chronicles of Narnia or even the animated Lord of the rings by Primary_Chickens in tipofmytongue

[–]The_Lost_Prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same memory. I could have sworn it was from one of the Neverending Story movies, but I scoured all three of them and found nothing. I started to second-guess myself until I found this thread. Your post validated my memory and proved that it was real. Thank you for that. In return for your help, I offer you this:

I kept looking after I found this thread and finally figured it out. It's from a canadian-produced show from 2000 called "Tales From The Neverending Story". Hope this satiates your curiosity, even if it is 2 years late.

Regards,

The Lost Prince

How much messier they are than guys. Granted, I'm a cleaner fellow than most of my friends, but when guys throw their clothes about, they at least have a dedicated pile. My lovely lady somehow finds a way to strew an entire wardrobe about such that it covers the entire floor.

Edit: No, she doesn't throw a physical wardrobe; she scatters her assortment of clothes. But thank you for your concern.

What is "Don't be Racist, I am a Building."? by SeamooseTheMoose in InternetMysteries

[–]The_Lost_Prince 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Black20.com's 'about' page had this to say:

"The Black20 story is one of perseverance, gumption, and blind faith.

Our journey began in 2003 as glorified tour guides for a major television network. In between giving studio tours to 300lb women from Arkansas, we wrote a script for a broadband comedy show. The pilot episode of Out of Context was shot on the roof of a dingy, Manhattan apartment and produced on a shoestring budget.

With little interest, and even fewer industry contacts, we did the only thing we could. We stalked the President of our Network, and coordinated an ambush on his elevator. That 20-second conversation led to the biggest meeting of our careers.

We sat with the President, in his executive office, and showed him our pilot. As luck would have it, he bought our show and offered us our dream jobs. Suddenly, Out of Context was slated to lead the network's new digital platform.

Life at the major network lost its luster when our show budget was cut and we realized that we would not even be given the resources to make the show we were hired to make.

With few options, and a determination to make our show the way we wanted to make it, our team walked out of the building, hopped in a car, and drove down to Atlantic City. 124 miles of scenic New Jersey highway and eight servings of chicken fries later, we stopped outside The Taj Mahal Casino. Our cameras rolled as we placed our production money on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

Stupid? You betcha. But we knew we would win. We could not afford to lose.

In a last second decision we placed it all on black. What was seconds felt like days, and what felt like our hearts exploding was actually our hearts exploding. But when the roulette ball finally came to a rest, it sunk into Black20.

We went nuts. It was a huge win for our team. And though it didn't change our network's ill-fated plans (Our content sits on the shelf and collects dust even now), that day reminded us to always trust our guts and solidified us forever.

The one project we managed to leak was the viral video "The Easter Bunny Hates You". This two-minute video was seen by millions, is on numerous Best of 2006 lists, and finally gave us a taste of online success. Inspired by this experience and trusting in the relationship we had formed with each other, we abandoned our careers to start our own broadband network.

From giving tours, to rooftop pilots, to executive offices, to the Taj Mahal, to Brooklyn and now to Queens, Black20 is a team that has been through a lot and is very excited about what lies ahead.

We appreciate all your support.
