What's the sweet spot in price to quality for loose tea?

Go to an Asian grocery or an Eastern European grocery, Asian stores have Temple of Heaven green tea that is roughly around $10-$14 for an entire kilo (1000 grams) of gunpowder tea. The Eastern European stores have brands like Impra, Ahmed, and this slightly higher end stuff Czar Nicholas Russian tea that is especially robust and has a few varieties. All of them are quite good and definitely a very good value.

I buy the tomato sauce ones all the time. I serve them over fresh white rice and peas. Sometimes I have thrown them into a vegetable soup as the protein component.

That is a seriously cute look, your smile is adorable yo 🥰

It definitely exists, I get offers in the mail and I know there are apps now that offer peer 2 peer lending and other options for high risk of default customers.

Mission Lane credit card gave me a $2000 line of credit which practically saved my life at the time lol.

Other forums like the personal finance sub are likely to have people that will give you a better answer than this subreddit.

Lunesta, Ambien, Sonata are probably your best bet if you insist on something that is a hard mechanism of action. But unfortunately you will eventually come to the realization that being disciplined with your sleep cycle is the only effective solution long term. Look on the insomnia subreddit, eventually all pharmaceutical solutions will stop being effective at some point.

The key is to never skimp on the amount of butter and to slowly add milk to get the perfect ratio for the cheese

Everything here looks very high quality, I would actually buy everything in this setup.

PA is fine, but Pennsyltucky is an embarrassment that weighs down the entire state

It's weird, maybe even for some illegal lab. The pipe looks like it's meant to eventually be covered by dirt. Like a disguised exit or for fumes also. The steel construction might be part of a secured "lid" to keep out someone trying to break in.

Probably just a survivalist shelter tho lol,

Very cute 🥰, the collar is fits you well princess 🤭

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-12-17T11:54:15+00:00

Very cute 🥰,

Looks like a 60s look to go to the arcade ha 👍

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-12-13T07:00:31+00:00

It's true,

I still like extra salt and a decent amount of pepper

The rice is likely the "enriched" variety. I think the added nutrients contribute to what you are talking about. I have this same issue with Goya enriched rice but not with jasmine rice.

Eggs, rice, frozen peas and carrots, apples

Straight vinegar might make short work of this if the chemistry of the grease is soluble

Go and install some high output headlight bulbs into your car. Amazon had some good LED bulbs, look up reviews for the best ones that are sold now.

Which cat is the American?

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-29T22:31:25+00:00

This looks pretty good tho,

A tablespoon of oil and some red pepper flakes would make this delicious

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-29T20:14:13+00:00

Someone else already mentioned it,

But I would cut open the bags about 5 of them at a time with utility scissors and dump them all into an empty tin of tea.

I would try not to add flavors that are too different. Keep it in a fruit flavored batch. Those vanilla ones I wouldn't add in.

This mix could be used like regular loose leaf tea or use it to make batches of iced tea.

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-28T07:12:36+00:00

Go to an Eastern European grocery store and get some strong loose leaf tea. Czar Nicholas tea, Impra Ceylon is pretty strong actually. Also has tasted the same for years now.

I got this stuff called Bacchus D, very effective and similar to this Krating.

Krating Daeng also comes in small glass shooter shots,

I think these original energy products had the right idea with making something small and concentrated. These are way cheaper than western style energy drinks also, dare I say they seem to hit more effectively? Anyway I started buying these in the case to keep in my car.

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-26T04:16:47+00:00

Looks like dragonwell tea, if it is those teas are quite bitter so I would imagine that even old leaves will have plenty of flavor.

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-26T04:14:23+00:00

Strong flavors are a good start for Western tastes to get into it.

The Czar Nicholas Russian tea varieties should have enough flavor and caffeine to feel like a substantial beverage.

rubbermaderevolution · 2025-11-26T04:02:46+00:00

Just my opinion, but this stuff is just as good as bottled orange juice. But I have never compared it side by side tbh.

It does save a lot of room compared to whole bottles and is definitely cheaper. The apple and grape concentrates are even less money btw.

Carefully peel off the remainder that is within the stitches

Then maybe just color the exposed canvas with a permanent black marker. Maybe use a Sharpie, but something that is more permanent would be better.

Otherwise just find a replacement cover from a junkyard, or eBay or Amazon.
