Any Tea Drinkers Here

Too cool.

 

way cool

 

Does tea go bad? I've had this in my cupboard for many months. Close to a year. Brewed a cup tonight. Tastes ok but smells strange.

 

that kind of tea does have a freah amd not so fresh time when green lol, i Jeep ne in the fridge... was it open or sealed... and did ot uave sunlight on it ?

 

What is it with you guys and your fancy teas, fancy wines, fancy pens, fancy cigars. Am I the only redneck here that enjoys a good beer and a sharp knife? I must not be as edjumacated or somthin.

 

i just bought a new pen

 

I like Bic fine point myself. Sorry I don't mean to derail this thread!

 

then it was very likely not so fresh. It was opened, but has been sealed (it has a ziplock seal). no sunlight, just been hanging out in the cupboard.

 

I have loose leaf tea most mornings (instead of coffee) but I'm uncouth and just nuke the water in a big pyrex measuring cup and then add the leaves in an over-the-cup sort of thing that gets fished out when the tea is ready. I've been mostly drinking black tea lately, but like oolong and green teas too.

Don't know about use by dates on tea, but I came across an unopened bag of coffee in the pantry the other day that was at least 7 years old. Tasted kinda funky, and ended up in the compost pile.

 

coulda made yourself a facial exfoliating rub with that lol

 

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of one of our members, I was able to experiment with high altitude brewing during my trip to Colorado with some pu'er- a 2008 Menghai 8582, one of my favorite blends. Thanks!

Received a lot of strange looks in the hotel dining rooms, I'll admit. And my teeny yixing pot made it home in one piece.

 

It sounds exotic!

 

I left my tea pick home, but I managed to misappropriate a butter knife from the kitchen. It did the job, but it won't be spreading butter any time soon.

Thanks!

 

Did you forget the tea pick, or did it resemble a push dagger too much for TSA? I remember one of you guys had a very handsome one made from a polished walnut. Joel perhaps?

 

wonder if i should bring mine next week... im sure tsa wont mind lol
