Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea

[salinea]

I drink about three cups of tea by day. Earl grey at breakfast, with a bit of bread. Two cups during my day at work, currently some chinese mix of green tea and smoked tea.
In the evening I also drink some vervein.

I drink it as much to warm myself up as for the purpose of drinking.

I drink it without any sugar or anything else. I often joke I drink my tea as I drink whiskey, and whiskey as I drink tea, no additive, thanks. (exception for the genuine kind of arab mint green tea, which must be very sweet)

I drink it when it's very hot, almost still boiling. I know when I drink with others, I'm always finishing my cup when they are starting to find it warm enough to start drink.
When my tea is too cool, I can't stand how bitter it is.

*tapping fingers* Ahem. Subject line is clearly not complete in entry. Please revise and resubmit. *raised Snape-y eyebrow*

are you claiming that my Buffy-quote-fu is not anymore what it used to be ?

[catrinella.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Only that one always hopes the best for one's friends. ;-)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

hehe, thanks for the thought. Alas, I'm lacking boy or girlfriends currently, and the time to seek them out.

The quote however was about Giles, an eminent member of the Brittish fraternity of sexy, tweedy, intellectual, ruthless men, and therefore was worth mentionning ^^

Giles/Snape - *sigh.......*

Ethan/Remus :p

What she said. *adds arching of Sinistran brows to the gazes boring into you*

I too drink my whiskies and teas sans additions. Except for iced tea (which I prefer Southern sweet and with lemon) and tea in Chinese restaurants. For some reason, Chinese restaurants automatically hit me with a bizarre version of Imperius where I suddenly find myself putting three sugars into those little cups and ordering cocktails in unnatural colors.

Do not fear, if ever such event were to occur, you'd be the first informed, dear.

Iced tea do not count either, and I like them chemical Lipton and Peach-y.

Scary Chinese Imperius o_o bad Feng Shui, possibly ? XD

I drink......I don't know how many cups of tea. But it's MANY XD; For the same purpose like you and when it's hot as well XD Though I don't mind cold tea especially in the summer ;}

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Heh, I love to drink when it's very hot as well. People look at me like I'm crazy XD then again, I don't mind the heat as much as people around me (but I HATE the cold)

I do like iced tea, but it tends to make me hyper. Good for RPG long nights.

[shisakura.livejournal.com]

XD;;;; Hee! I like cold :D Better than heat anyway. But since I'm constantly cold I need heat not to freeze x.x;

*DEAD*

Oh, Giles! You evil, was going to stalk you to ask for details. You are forgiven nonetheless due to mentioning Giles :)

Tea, I love it in winter, but do not have it much now it´s warm. I can not have tea too late in the day, but love to make myself a cup of tea before dinner, as soon as I get home. Oolong or lapsang souchong are my favorites, but got a whole tray loaded with teas and tea samples, and bags and paper napkins with samples push on me. I do not even want to know what it looks like!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

details ? About what ?

*basks in the shared Giles love*

Sounds lovely/ When I move in I want to have a collection of different sorts of tea like that. *notes Oolong and lapseng souchong as kind of tea to try out*

I just bought some silver tipped pekoe this evening. I like my tea, and whisky, neat, with their flavour undiluted!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all about the flavour. :)

[twhitesakura.livejournal.com]

I also drink my tea without any additives, although I used to put massive amounts of sugar in it as a child. My favorite brand is a chinese tea called po-nay. Maybe if you dilute the tea (use more water), it won't taste as bitter?

Hurray for fellow non-coffee tea drinkers!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I never used to drink tea as a child ! I started the addiction when I turned 18.

Po-nay *writes it out*

I think it's partly because I leave the satchel thingy in it too long in those cases. And also simply because I like it better very hot ^^

Hurray indeed ! I remember once reading a line in a Sci-Fi novel a character wondering how most people seemed to drink coffee reguarly in the 20th century though that did explain a lot of bad decisions in political and environmental topics. It struck me as a very smart comment ^^
