TeaDidikai I haven't managed to perfect that sorbet yet. But do not loose hope! I am working on it and finding things to do with the batches that don't measure up! Wow, thank you for putting so much work into this. heart Many people will benefit from your research, I can assure you! xd

My tea arrived today! biggrin I'll do inventory later, but I was a bit disappointed with one thing. See, I knew my mum's absolute hatred of tea extended to tisanes, but I didn't think it would stretch to lavender, 'cause that's her favourite flower. Makes me a little sad, but at least my dad and I can enjoy some together. sad

Dublin now has a new tea shop! Woohoo! It's called Matchabar and I can't wait to go in and have a look!

Oh the other hand, I'd settle for a good tea shop anywhere in the freakin' state.

I discovered pu'erh last year. There's a tea place in the city that has a huge menu and I'm horrible at making decisions, so I told the server I liked yerba mate and asked for a suggestion. She brought me pu'erh. The next time I went back to buy some they were out of stock though, so I've only had it the once. The only way I could describe it (being a tea newbie) is "it tastes like really good dirt smells." Is that crazy?

TheDisreputableDog The only way I could describe it (being a tea newbie) is "it tastes like really good dirt smells." Is that crazy? Pu'erh is basically tea compost- so no. It makes perfect sense. I only drink it when I am sick and Isakane teases me and says that it is because the threat of Pu'erh is enough to make anyone feel better.

Hehehe! Tao of Tea always has a large selection of Pu-erh teas. Once in a while I really enjoy them, but they're definitely not for everyone. I don't usually stock any in my pantry, I only order them when I'm out. My favorite is called Camel's Breath, which I think completely sums up the experience.

When I serve tea, I usually include a pu'erh so people can try it.

So- I am out of matcha. I need to pick up some more matcha so I can serve some at my SummerStar Workshop- in addition to the fact that I have been craving it and some lovely High Mountain Green for my beautiful new Tea Set that BlueRoseTorn bought me. heart

I figured out why my watermelon green tea smoothy didn't turn out. It's the matcha I bought. It tastes like seaweed, not that I don't like seaweed, it's just not something I want in my tea.
