I'm Desperately in Love...

[Aurora Black]

With this site! Oh my God!

Adagio Teas

I just got my package today with one of their starter sets with 4 samples of their best herbal teas, the "ingenuiTEA" teapot, the "Clarity" mug (sold seperately), and the Guide to Tea written by one of the Adagio staff.

And they shipped it so quickly! It usually takes 10 days for international shipping, but it only took 3 days for this! Now that's more like it!

I feel like a kid at Christmas! Damn you, Kev (my beloved editor)! I'm addicted now.

Does the tea taste better drunk out of a Clari-tea cup?

Souchong.

Probably not. I couldn't resist the cup, though.

 

[Aurora Black]

Ohhhh you bitch!!!!!! You had to post this, right?

Mmm, yes I did. And thank you.

 

[Aurora Black]

Souchong.

I've just brewed some Osmanthus. It's different.

I'm partial to Lipton's "Blue Fruit"...

 

[Aurora Black]

Before this, Lipton was all I drank. Not going back to it now.

I'm backing out of this thread before I got hooked on another expensive taste. It's bad enough that my pixel forum has brainwashed me into craving muffins.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Damn... I was hoping for some Smut

Oh well. Love you anyway, Aurora :kiis:

Muffins. *groans, falls to the floor, twitches*

Whoo hoo, Jenny!

 

[Aurora Black]

Is it possible to get high from tea? Because I've been giggling like an idiot all day.

I think I'll go back for seconds and brew some Blood Orange before I go back to writing. Or maybe Spearmint. Or Chamomille...

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Maybe. Tea, especially Herbal Tea, can have differing affects on people. Herbal tea is any tea with added flowers, seeds or other plant materials added to the tea leaves for flavor or medicinal purpose.

This from Wikpedia :

"Herbal teas are often drunk for their physical or medicinal effects, especially for their stimulant, relaxant or sedative properties. The medicinal effects of certain herbs is discussed under herbalism. The medicinal benefits of specific herbs are often anecdotal or controversial, and in the United States and elsewhere, makers of herbal teas are not allowed to make unsubstantiated claims about the medicinal effects of their products.

While most herbal teas are safe for regular consumption, some herbs have toxic or allergenic effects. Among the greatest causes of concern are:

Comfrey, which contains alkaloids that can cause permanent liver damage with chronic use.
Lobelia, which contains toxins similar in effect to nicotine.
Pineapple weed, which is sometimes sold as chamomile, is closely related to ragweed and can cause violent allergic reactions in hay fever sufferers, up to and including anaphylactic shock and death.
Herbal teas can also have different effects in different people, and this is further compounded by the problem of potential misidentification. The deadly foxglove, for example, can be mistaken for the much more benign comfrey."

Flowers are tasty.

Or I'm being a pedantic bore and you all may pelt me with teabags. Whichever.

Teabags? Blasphemy!

 

[Aurora Black]

Okay, Rooibos counts as a Tisane. Details, details.

 

[Aurora Black]

Poor teapot hasn't seen the inside of its box since it got here. Aww.

*Shakes head*

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.


Tut, tut, tut.

What is the world coming to?

I'll have a coffee.

 

[HappyLlama]

I'll have an Earl Gray.
