Dear certain black tea--
What gives? I never had to put milk in you before. What did I do wrong? Granted, I haven't brewed you for a few months, but still! I guess we're going back to exactly two teaspoons of leaf and three minutes of brewing time and figuring it out from there.
Dear two other black teas--
Why are you both nearly gone? Your vendor has closed, sadly, and I have no idea how to replace you. :(

On the expensive side, but totally worth it. Rishi's plain old sencha is nearly as good as Teavana's gyokuro.
Rishi is pretty good--I have a couple of grocery store tins of their tea and it's still good. They don't have what I was looking for, though. :( (There are one or two other things, though...)
PM me if you want. I might have some ideas:)Quote:

Blueberry, PM sent.
Thanks for the link, Tulip! They for sure have one of the teas I was looking for (or a slightly nicer version), and they have the other, I'm just not sure about the flavor profile. The one in my stash has a nice, cocoa-y flavor to it, and not all grades of that particular tea type have that flavor. Maybe I'll send them an e-mail.
Dear college student not paying attention while driving. Thanks for rear ending me. I really appreciate having to deal with insurance, car repairs and a sore neck. We were already stopped for God's sake. How hard is it to just pay attention? I've now had bodywork done on this car five times, each for no fault of my own.
That sucks:(Quote:

Heh...the plot thickens. There is no interview.Quote:

Blarf.
Yikes, glad to hear that your injury was not worse! Hopefully the college student has insurance...Quote:

I can even send you a small amount for you to try (smaller than they ship); that would allow you to try it out and decide for yourself by just trying a pot or two. Imperfect way to do it, but a good way for you to perhaps try it out and for me to try anew tea or two ...Quote:
