And anyway I haven’t had gin since freshman year in college after a rather horrific experience i wont get into. so if i even SMELL it its like the equivalent of smelling bile for most people. and the person who handed me the drink knew that. it was all part of the joke.

Huh. I'm not alone. My incident was at age 15, and involved a micky of purloined gin I shared with a friend. The evening is filled with snatches of wakefulness, during which I found myself either vomiting or sprawled in the strangest places, one of which was across the laps of four guys. The rest of the evening is lost in the haze of unconsciousness.

I haven't even been able smell the stuff since, and it took me YEARS to rebuild my alcohol tolerance (you know, NOT puking my brains out) :D
 
I have decided that based on Tonk's AV and the mere fact that she rocks that I shall add her to my MSN list [[hails]]
 
yes gin makes for an especially visceral reaction after youve abused it badly once or twice. even more so then tequila which is the trendy "cant touch that stuff ever again" drink.

What is your budget? what do you like? caffeinated or not? smoky? fermented? I keep 1/2 dozen loose teas in my pantry, and buy them at this store http://www.tenrenusa.com/default.asp in my local Chinatown. Of course, if I'm feeling flush, I'll order from Dean & Deluca in New York. Peet's is also very good.

My favorite tea for company where I'll pull out the Limoges teapot and Aynsley tea cups was by Kousmichoff. Don't remember where I bought it.

Yup :)

I like the taste of Earl Grey.......but the stuff makes me pee like a buffalo :eh:

I usually just buy an off the shelf blend.........I drink about 20 cups a day so no need for the really posh stuff ;)

Um, just an observation, but maybe it's the 20 CUPS a day and not the Earl Gray that makes you pee like a buffalo? :devious:

I like black teas usually, as well. Assam is nice, as is Darjeeling (Indian tea -- I usually drink Chinese). Black tea is completely fermented (100%), Oolong tea can be fermented anywhere from 10% to 80% and is a little more delicate, while still retaining a full body. Another favorite tea, although it's certainly an acquired taste, is Lapsang Souchong. This tea has a strong smokiness, and if you like Islay malt whiskies such as Laphroig or Lagavulin, you'll love it.
 
I'll look into it... but... right now my shelves are stocked with Kona coffee... of which I plan to drink massive quantities of over the next few weeks.

Whatever you choose - stay away from Nettle Tea - that shit's just gross :sick:
 
Howzit babe :D Agree 100% on the instant coffee (and if I have to drink it it has to be something decent like Jacobs or preferably the Dutch blends - Kroning etc).

Erm - flat white coffee? :confused:
