I'm looking forward to ur opinion so please let us know Done and done (spits in palm of hand before shaking hands to seal the deal!)Ordered the 5 flavors and will post on them! Also got some more coals to try, a pair of silicone vasegaskets to try also and my free Vortex bowl (my other paid for Vortex bowl wasn't that bad...) I'lltry anything once (especially with a vendor code that works) ;) And to think I was gonna "pull" this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I just ordered five flavors as well, including the peanut butter. Can't wait to try it! My attempts to make my own tea based shisha have failed miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried herbal tea yet though, wondering if it it would smoke different but the green, Earl Grey, and Jasmine tasted so nasty I've been unmotivated to try.

I'm intrigued. I drink tea daily, can't live without it. Earl Grey is one of my favorites, I'll have to look into getting some Russian Earl Grey now.Having trouble imagining a peanut butter shisha, little leary about that one but still eager to try the tea-shas.Nakhla Earl Grey is one of my favorite shishas these days.

Spats Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well, I got my order yesterday, fast shipping!Tried out a bowl of the Peanut butter today. MYA Bambino, MNH jetfunnel, 2 CH QL's, heavy duty foil and heat shield.On a scale of 1-3 it's a 1... Smelled good in the container and was adefinite peanut butter flavor at first. Not a sweet smoke or tasty likethe sandwich spread, but rather akin to the peanut butter served on ColdSesame Noodles (a very tasty Chinese food.)It uses actual peanut oil for the flavoring! Some warnings tho I don'tknow if the flavor will ever leave the hose and it's not a smoke for party/multi bowl sessions as the hookah WILL need a good cleaning betweenflavors. I had just changed bowls and hoses and it ghosting... My usualhot water rinsing isn't going to do it today when done...Cut is coarse thin slices and it's jet black. Quite moist. Does not like toomuch heat as the flavor goes away and it gets a bit harsh. Never a tasteof tea when harsh tho. Clouds were decent.Lemonade smells fruity and brisk, grape is overpowering, green apple smellslike a chemistry set flavor and pumpkin pie is ok.So far, it's a tie between the "told you so's" and the "someone has to try its."

Genie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 QUOTE (StreetBob @ Sep 15 2009, 02:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Was it good?It was! Flavor didn't last very long although the clouds were massive throughout. And not because of tons of nasty glycerin in it either, in fact, I never got a hint of glycerin taste. The flavor was good while it lasted, but after 20 minutes I knew the flavor was gone and I was just smoking the tea, which wasn't entirely unpleasant. But after 30 minutes there was no flavor at all. Might try packing it a little heavier in the phunnel next time and see how it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobocans Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I always wondered about a tea-based shisha alternative. I know the other alternatives are sugar beats, right? Given that regular shisha is mostly glycerine and food additives, I wonder if you can actually brew the tea-sha and drink it? Sounds weird, but I think it might work as a sweet, flavored tea.Might have to pick up some for a trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually sugar cane pulp a.k.a. sugarcane bagasse. I wouldn't want to drink this stuff--for one thing they don't tell you what all is in it--who knows what the preservatives are. Tea, smoked straight, is pretty strong. I think this stuff has been brewed or washed or soaked or something then put in the shisha as a base.
