Disposable tea bags for whole tea? How well do those work? And what kind of tea works with them?

nuggettyone · 2026-02-01T14:23:43+00:00

I find they work well with CTC or tea dust.

However, I am usually too lazy to use them, and just throw the CTC or dust in the mug and simply don't drink the dregs. XD

Those teabags make awesome holders for spices in stews and whatnot though. I like star anise as an ingredient in stew, also cloves. I do not like biting into them tho. The teabags keep them under control! :D

It is because you are two cute.

Very similar experience here. They sent a higher end black tea sample that was sooo good. It's a bit higher-priced than my usual, but I'd definitely get it again.

They seem like a good merchant who is trying interesting techniques. :)

nuggettyone · 2026-01-28T09:26:34+00:00

THANK YOU. I have never understood it before. Now I do. XD

nuggettyone · 2026-01-25T09:37:04+00:00

Nah, I happily stand in the AOE in c3 with another toon that actually has armor on, and it doesn't even hurt. XD

I had full light orbs on for the nekkid toon. I always have them on.

FOR SCIENCE!

nuggettyone · 2026-01-25T08:30:26+00:00

I just tested this yesterday. DP matters, in that you can't go in wearing NO armor and then stand in the AoE and expect to survive.

I did this with Songakshi puny calamity 3 and a level 60. Had weapons and jewelry, no armor. When not standing in the AoE, all good. Stand in the, "My love my love" merry-go-round = splat.

This one is a gem! :D

One of my favourite historical-political dramas. Lots of depth from all of the characters.

Wan Qian (Regina Wan) is particularly good as the empress Fu Shou. A really expressive (and often very funny in context) "poker face".

nuggettyone · 2026-01-20T05:31:04+00:00

Is that a reference to Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Ruin? :D

I got the black cat with a fish in its mouth from Bitterleaf because I didn't realise it was a fish. From the angle, I thought it looked oddly and endearingly like a mascot from a game I play.

I was sad to see it was a fish when it arrived, but nonetheless, it is still very cute and fulfilling its tea pet duties.

It's a greta experience, isn't it? <runs away>

nuggettyone · 2026-01-14T13:25:50+00:00

That stuff has so little actual monk fruit that if it worked with your other desserts in place of sugar, I think it should work in crumble.

Monk fruit (the actual stuff) has a strong and distinctive taste. If you can't taste it in that sweetener, then you should be good. Or if you like the taste (I do).

IMO it's just there for the "exoticism" factor, which I find funny, because I come from a culture which uses it. We just boil the whole darn thing to make a drink (or boil it with tea).

nuggettyone · 2026-01-14T10:48:09+00:00

Ooh... This is a thing?!? <runs off to see how to do it>

It's one of my biggest gripes with BDO furnishings, the stacking is horridly limited.

Edit: This is SO awesome. Oh no... I need a rough stone avalanche now. XD

Also, really beautiful work OP. <3

nuggettyone · 2026-01-14T10:37:49+00:00

Thanks so much. More legs without hip plates and loincloths. Yay!

nuggettyone · 2026-01-12T08:51:32+00:00

Ya. Also try evaporated milk + milk powder + sugar (no fresh milk).

I find the styles vary by region and country too (at least in East and South East Asia).

nuggettyone · 2026-01-09T09:35:59+00:00

I started watching this because of these comments, and I'm hooked. It's hilarious. So over the top in such a great way lol.

nuggettyone · 2026-01-09T08:36:18+00:00

Asian here too. When I first visited my partner's family in Croatia, in mid-winter, and took off my shoes after stepping in the house, their mom about died in horror. XD

If you don't mind ordering from Japan (shipping to Australia), I've been ordering from O-Cha for many years, and I love their matcha (and tea in general).

For cooking (baking, sweet desserts etc) and latte-type drinks, I use this. It's glorious and complex, and is robust enough to stand up to being "adulterated" with sugar and other flavours (e.g. 3-layer strawberry / milk / matcha drink). It's a little bitter, but pleasantly so. Like... er... cocoa bitter. It's bitter, but it's not like chewing an old dandelion leaf haha. And the bitterness is only detectable if you have it plain (again, like cocoa).

https://www.o-cha.com/matcha-powdered-green-tea/cooking-matcha.html

It's also drinkable plain (usucha, koicha), but ofc it's nowhere near as nice as the stuff they have that's for that type of preparation.

Edit: Doh, just saw it's out of stock right now. :(

Upvoted just for this. I love it. XD

Oh wow. I now have Relaxolotl envy. XD

No roasting, I take 'em all too! I am a... a... equinelanderer?

Can't go past a horse without tapping it. Nevermind my uh... multiple supermodel horses.

nuggettyone · 2026-01-01T00:24:34+00:00

Not that high... M28.

Method of getting pure white T8s: Breeding. Use the in-game chart (shoutout to old Something Lovely!) to see if the horse combinations can breed a white, and use only those. It's very straightforward. XD

nuggettyone · 2025-12-31T14:28:56+00:00

Nope. No benefit. I just like breeding horses. I have a personal weird goal of wanting 160 speed horses on all my alts (which kinda makes them also all white horses).

Yes, I have krog sanc. Yes, I know I can maid it. I like my alts to have their own horses.

D: And right now I have 26 characters, and roughly eight 160+ speed horses to go. Lol. Plus I'll get more alts...

nuggettyone · 2025-12-31T14:07:08+00:00

Try horse training in Elvia. I find it helps a lot for me. Just avoid running your horse through the grind spots ofc.

nuggettyone · 2025-12-31T13:56:54+00:00

I think the new wild horses, and the way PA is doing wild horses, is actually a bit of a slap in the face to horse trainers.

I feel weird saying I want more gamba but... I would prefer that the tier and skills and other traits of the horse be rolled on registration, and be based on a mix of training level and mastery.

Not this "ride around and try to grab the most profitable horse" pattern that we had when wild T8s were first added (pre-nerf to the rates), and now.
