Chat Thread: Chopsticks and teacups

Also? Apparently Tea makes me feel better. I'm wearing a shirt I got from RCR, drinking a good tea from a mug that Tea gave me. Uh, thanks!

Finals nearly over. Just finished my Criminal Justice final an hour or so ago. Have a Linux final I need to take before the day is out, and my Windows OS final was on Tuesday.

The Windows OS final was one of the easiest tests ever though. Open book, open note, open internet, etc. I saw several people using old quizzes that we can review online (complete with correct awnsers). Most of the final was taken, word for word, from past quizzes eek

I'm still trying to figure out if he just didn't care, or if he all but said "go ahead and cheat" confused

Also, a store nearby carries actual tea leaves surprised . I may have to go raiding, even though this blend I find at Jewel is good (even if its not real tea ninja )

I can never where exactly you are, but there's a Teavana in Woodfield mall.

If you lived closer- you'd be invited.

Speaking of invites... anyone hear from Bluerosetorn? I'm starting to worry.

Just because it's subpar camellia sinesis doesn't stop it from being camellia sinesis

I would argue that it may be camellia sinesis, but it is not necessarily tea. Floor sweepings (dust, twigs etc) doesn't count as tea.

Truth be told, you could argue it is tea based on the most base definition of the word (being of camellia sinesis)- however, tea is about a process and treatment of the leaves as much as it is about the plant itself. To those ends- coco nibs aren't truffles. The only difference is that coco nibs could be processed into truffles- once you have destroyed the leaf beyond recognition- there really isn't anything left to "process" in the way tea is processed.

I'm not suggesting that "only whole perfect leaves count", but I would suggest that if you cannot tell it is a plant (over say- dirt) it's hard to call it tea. [/da]

I'm not nearly an expert like Tea is, but I have one of those small bookcases? yeah, filled to the brim with air-tight containers of loose leaf tea and tsaines.

Now that I have my lovely service, I will have to start working on better ways to store my tea.

My idea of a tea bag is the duffel I carry my containers of tea in.

I think once I finish this cup of rooibos, I'm going to clean off my bookshelf and take a photo of it. (Found my camera!)

I'm about an hour from Woodfield, with a distaste for highway driving sweatdrop

For stalking purposes, if you must know where I am, look at a map of the Six Flags locations. I'm about 20 minutes away from Great America ninja

...There is black tea in it (decaf though gonk ). Along with Orange Rind, and "sweet spice", which I think it supposed to be clove or something.

Sorry... so, for those of you who don't know, I didn't start actually liking tea until I was in my late teens early twenties. My mother had so called "tea" that she would give me when I was sick. I swear she had the same box of Constant Comment since I was born. ~gags~

That just makes me wish I was working in a school again...

I turned my best friend on to Teavana. ^_^ Maybe now she'll stop drinking shitty Arizona tea. And she gave me a homemade lilac-scented candle for Christmas!

Hey, too much of anything can make you hate it. Especially if you're not enitrely fond of it to begin with, so I dont really blame you for not liking it.

That being said, and back to the original point, I shall soon taste full leaf tea, and hopefully I'll be blown away.
