Peppermint & Green tea are my favourites & most daily consumed.
There's also Irish Breakfast & orange ceylon, though any tea would do for the most part.

Welcome. So say we all.

Thank you for the intricate welcome. :3 I'm excited to be here.

Gluten-free bread? Or do you need a special type of bread for it to be a sandwich?


Gluten free bread is practically cardboard.

Wow. Orange Ceylon is awesome. Is Irish Breakfast the one you have with milk and kinda tastes like caramel?

I'm more of a black tea person and I stick to the classic Earl Grey. Every day. Or maybe an English Breakfast in the morning.

Orange Ceylon is awesome. I'm not sure if it tastes like caramel with milk, I haven't had milk in my tea in years, I usually drink it plain or with a teaspoon of honey. [Though I might try it with some milk just to see now.I love caramel.]

Earl Grey is my grandmother's favourite. I like black tea for iced tea.
I miss English Breakfast. I just found a sample box of some wild blueberry tea, and a box of plum with pear I'm excited to try, they smell strong.

I have a whole bunch of loose tea, like some home picked peppermint. As well as a magic blend of 'Serenitea' [containing chamomile, oatstraw herb, peppermint leaf, cinnamon, lemon balm leaf, catnip herb, scull cap herb, passion flower herb, kava kava root, lavender flower, and nutmeg.] I got the Serenitea from a magical herb/natural/hippie shop-place back in Connecticut in my hometown called Happy Rainbows. It was run and owned by an old tall elf looking lady with white long straight hair, and long flowing brightly coloured skirts, who held Fairie Festivals every year with rose and peppermint tea, with rose petals in it.

Excuse the tangent, I find people so curiously lovely sometimes, the point of loose tea was that I finally figured out how to make my own little tea bags with pretty quotes and tea bag covers. So I made a million of them for my grandmother and friend because they're daily tea-lovers as well.

I could have a whole garden devoted to nothing but tea and drink forever. I think I might do that now.

Okay, it's set. I like you, and welcome to the Cult! One of the awesome things about my town is the abundancy of teahouses and tea shops. We have libraries that also function as teahouses and you can find hundreds of tea types.
When I indulge myself, I drink Wildcherry flavoured black tea or another variety called Spring Morning - green tea, ginger, licorice, lemongrass, hibiscus, pepper, vervain and jasmin. Sencha teas are also quite great and there's the Elfentau sort I just love, which contains green sencha, sunflower petals, cornflower, rose petals, mango bits and bergamot.

We totally need a tea thread.

Yesyesyes. We need a tea thread. I lovelovelove ginger. Reminds me of the woods and pine tree covered mountains. Sencha sounds absolutely outstanding. Silly question where would one get Sencha?

Well, where do you usually get your tea from? If they have all kinds of varieties, they might have teas based on sencha. It's very flavoured due to all the other flowers mixed in. In general, when I don't buy something I've already tasted before, I got with the 'if it has hibiscus or rosebuds it's gotta be mine' motto.
That being said, I once screwed up with an Indian Spice Mixture. It was green tea with black pepper, cloves , cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. I only drank it twice then I had to give it to a friend because it was just too spicy. Unbearably spicy, even when it's cold and it would help.
It's almost midnight here so I'll start the tea thread tomorrow and add tons of pictures of our teahouses. I'm so excited!

Aw shucks I'm sorry I just added a thread called Tea-riffic! Would you like me to take it down so you can make one?
I have so many tea things and photos.
I don't know if I'd like spicy tea, I'd have to see. I usually get my stuff from random places I come across, or just a grocery store if I run out of green tea or something kinda normal for me. I should just look and sea what they have.

Is it weird that Owl's response to the movie Cujo was to post a picture of a cat?

The Cujo picture refers to a cultie that had a cat named Cujo and we would always ask, "Is Cujo a good name for a cat?"

That's correct. And your answer to the sandwich thing was unorthodox but it looks like it passed too.
