Hey, hey, hey...I'm not just a merchant of death, I'm a moderator.

I don't if I mentioned it before in this thread, but Twinning's Russian Caravan is excellent and not available in bag form.

Edit: Well, OK some of it was earlier in this thread, other parts not.

Hey, I'm not shutting this thread down...
In fact...Down with the mods! Lets use this non-hookah related thread as a sign of our rebellious intentions! Coup de Tat!

Lets hear it!

Down with the mods! Kill the mods! Down with the mods! Kill the mods!

Get a rope!

Coup de Tat? Don't you mean Cup de Tea? rolleyes.gif

You could banish us to the "General Chit Chat" section, but you know what they say: It's not wise to upset a tea drinker! We're fierce man... we'll cut ya and sprinkle Sugar In The Raw in the wounds. I don't think you want any of that. biggrin.gif

Back to tea though... Just tried Peach Green Tea tonight. Not so phenomenal...tasted a bit weak. Perhaps with more leaves it could have been good.

just get any decent persian black (earl grey) tea, brew it properly and put a few leaves of fresh mint leaves. Match that with hookah and you'll be in heaven. Another thing to do is to put some almond on the bottom of the pot while brewing. I heard this adds a very nice and unique after taste.

If you need mint leaves, but can't find them, look in a Chinese, Vietnamese or Indochinese grocery store. Alternatively, go to one of those restaurants. I frequently jack mint leaves left over from Vienamese meals to use to make mint julips or put in tea. Arab stores sometimes have them, but they tend not to be as fresh or as tasty.

I love mint in tea, too, man.

I love Bodum stuff.


yeah, I used the shit outa my bodum teapot last semester. only thing that bothered me about the design was the plastic infuser....the holes don't go all the way down the the bottom.

I may drill some of my own holes when I find the time.

everyone that's into tea

check out Adagio Tea

this is where I have been purchasing my tea from for years now.

this is my favorite combo right here

CITRON GREEN TEA with a bowl of 80% raspberry and 20% lemon.

good stuff, maybe the health benefits from drinking tea while smoking tobacco contradicts itself.

wouldn't that be neat unsure.gif


on a regular basis though, almost every bowl that I smoke, I am always drinking CHAI hot or iced. when i have a lot of company over I always brew up a pot of tea though. still have TONS of loose leaf tea that I hand picked in China at a tea factory. im scared to drink it because its so good and I am probably not going to be able to afford going back there for quite some time now! lol Edited by cafesaden
