use this joint:
I just bought something similar but I can't find looseleaf teas anywhere near my new spot (outside of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf).
Los angeles heads where are you guys getting your looseleafs at?
and I recommend to use the best tea pot this world offers
For the evenings or afternoon I enjoy:
With milk and sugar.
where can i get this
this one is called "mono filio", produced in Germany and it??s available in different sizes and designs.
a quick search came up with this US store: http://www.inpursuitoftea.com/Mono_Filio_Teapot_50_oz_p/xc550.htm
110$ without the teapot-warmer.
over here the price is around 100??? incl. the teapot-warmer.
it??s worth the money, highly recommended.
same but with rose pedal earl grey
loose leaf tips for guzzo
asian or arab grocery store mad variety and cheap price
go to the source
im lucky enough to have one locally and right now im drinking on some jasmin dragon pearls, lychee oolong, and some random black tea i dont remember. the jasmin actually has individually wrapped leaves leaves into a ball which is pretty
real pa heads know the deal.
I just received a box of tieguanyin as a gift = THE THE THE REALNESS!
tea goes great w/ mooncakes right aboot now.
For the mug, don't mess around with any of that milk-in-first crap. That was just to protect the thin china cups it used to be drunk from. Water in first, and add the milk BEFORE you take the bag out, especially if you live in a hard water area. Prevents biuld up of tannin on the surface.
Taylor's Yorkshire are the best tea bags in the world. You can keep your Tetley's, PG, Twinings, etc - when I want a proper, brickie-strength, English cuppa, then it's Taylors, a little milk and no sugar, please. Personally, I prefer the hard water variety, but I firmly believe it's impossible to make a bad cup of tea with them.
YES. So good and gallons or half gallons are always on sale somewhere around here.
For hot stuff i like green tea and some spicy tea that i found around my way. i don't have a tea ball or anything, but the natural food store by me is the real deal and they have a nice selection of loose tea.
Anyone for sun tea? The season has sort of passed for it, but i am a big fan.
sorry, im perverted in the morning
