I would actually really like to try that out. Have you ever had straight lapsang?

Also, do you work during the day?

that's a tisane, not a tea you cretin

Yeah, no actual tea.

However, tea has come to mean any leaf infusion in our vernacular. So bite me, old man!

I once found a chamomile, mint and valerian blend.

It was probably the best night time herbal tea ever.

Did it go nice with your doily collection and vagina?

Do you do this to hurt me, pip?

Is this like when I go into food threads and cause you to have an aneurysm?

I'm drinking coffee right NOW. No sugar or cream, because I don't have a vagina.

Lame.
Then you should! They sell it at Ballard Market, or you could come over here.

Possibly next weekend?

I'm drinking my coffee with sugar and whole milk, because I like it that way.

if you mean the 17th, I have family obligations and the 18th is my bday so I'll be doing other stuff
if you mean this coming weekend, I could totally come by any time except Sat night when I'll be at neville's shindig

natek

if you pick the right kind of creamer, it can really compliment the flavors of the coffee
also I suck at making coffee so a bit of cream cuts down on the bitterness and aftertaste

Druhim

oh also where in Ballard do you go for your tea Cal? I've been going to Perennial Tea Room in Pike Place Market recently

Happy upcoming birthday, Dru!

I've tried coffee a few times, it's just not for me. However I do ever-fucking-love the smell of it. It's great to wake up to, but I only get that now at friends houses or my parents.

how much coffee do you waste by making an entire pot when you only want one cup?

how much water does that waste?

You do know you can make only one cup in even the biggest french press right?

you don't have to fill the thing

Yes, but didn't know it was called that. Also it was made by a Philipino dude and it was pretty tasty.

This weekend I'm totally packed. Shit, MOST weekends I'm totally packed (Sat: Doggy class; Sun: Wing Chun & Doggy Playtime).

This weekend is HUMP! And I'm going to a play on Friday... oi, fuck this being busy bullshit.


Also, I usually just pick up stuff from Ballard Market (they have a pretty good selection from Market Spice). I'm too poor to go into tea shops right now. When I wasn't I was still searching around the area to figure out exactly where to go.

If you're looking for good, authentic English style teas, check out the Crumpet Shop on 1st (between uh... Pine and Union, or whatever... it's around there).

When I smell coffee I think of my Grandparents and their farm.

Them farmers are some coffee drinking fools.

I remember when I was 13, my friend got me into coffee with this horrible cream and sugar contraption called a frappuccino..

Then, when I hit high school, my friend introduced me to iced coffee.

It was all downhill from there.

Now I only drink strong black coffee or espresso.

Mmm, delicious.

Moriveth

This darjeeling is excellent

actually vietnamese coffee is different
it's usually a french roast with chicory added which gives it a distinct flavor (which I happen to like) and is typically brewed at the table and mixed by the customer once it's done dripping through the grounds

Man, I got some Kona coffee from Hawaii for Christmas and it was fantastic. It had this sort of chocolate flavor to it. I need to figure out where I can get some more of that...

Yeah. I fucking love Vietnamese coffee.

I've never had Thai, so I was just assuming.

celandine

I love Vietnamese coffee.
Also, a good thing I made up: three spoons of Bustelo + milk, no water.
American coffee is always too watery for my taste; you almost don't want to put milk in it. But this? So, so good.

Mr. Buttons

hey I want to get a vacuum coffee brewer.. is this the best idea in the world or what?

Koshian

hot coffee with irish cream is so wonderfully indulgent

I love it
