If I drink enough tea, does that make me British?

A picture of my tea collection at the office:



The Lion King box on the lower left is the box that my coffee mug came in. :-) The big box of green tea next to it is something I picked up in Chinatown one day. The rest of the tea is store bought.

"Tea. Earl Gray. Hot!"

You're almost as bad as Zorin. :-)

No he's not, I don't have a Lion King mug, darnit!

I want! I want!

Dude. If you are into Earl Grey and Green Tea, we so have to get you some good Japanese Black Tea.

You do realize you have a box titled "100 Teabags (feat. Foojoy)" in your cubicle :)

Thats a lot green tea. ;) You need to get some Assam and have it with milk and possibly sugar for a modern British 'cuppa' experience. ;)

I spy TLK

Yes, yes. I read it's from your mug, but it still just JUMPS on sight and makes everything else blurry ;)

You've got a one-track mind. ;-)

I trained it to be that way during my 99 trip to Europe. There was TLK stuff all over the place, though sometimes it was hidden behind more recent stuff, so I had to learn to phase out everything NON-TLK when in the presence of anything TLK ;)

No.

I should take a photo of my tea collection but I don't have enough space on my table to lay it out...

Tea, mmm...

BTW do you play Dark World Mu Online?There's a dude with your name running around in it.

Nope. But then again, "Giza" isn't exactly an uncommon name. I've seen it used in a number of other places online. (And that's why I usually attach my real name when using it online)

Sounded pretty unique to me though. Heheh, oh well. *Nuzz*

Just this year, I discovered filters for do-it-yourself teabags. Now I use loose tea to make my own teabag at my desk each morning. Not that expensive, really (one half-teaspoon of tea gives me two good mugs), and the tea, being whole-leaf, is much better. Not that Twinings, Bigelow, and Stash are bad, mind you, but I admit it, I'm a tea snob.

(Unfortunately, the web site doesn't sell the filters directly, and doesn't have any info on who sells them. I found them here in Ann Arbor, at Zingerman's, which is where I also buy tea. Right now, I'm drinking a great Oolong called "Iron Goddess".)
