#i love the green tea one!!

[neptunezo]

I have never seen so much fanfic premise in one movie (this is a lie but let me make my point)

I was watching Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part One. and OH MY GOSH

Further down is spoilers btw

BUT SERIOUSLY?!?!? YOU WANT TO TELL ME HOW BATMAN AND SUPERMAN WERE JUST CASUALLY LIVING OUT SO MANY FANFIC PLOTS?!?!

Superman gets hurt and the only thing he can think of before potentially DYING is giving Barry and Ollie, Bruce’s address. THEN JUST PASSING OUT?!?!?

And Bruce is super skeptical at first but then see’s Clark passed out and demands they bring him in.

and Barry is like “he asked see you, so thanks for not being mad about this.” to which Bruce responds “who say I’m not mad?” Oh you’re mad alright, but not because your identity was discovered but because your boyfriend is about to die and he wasn’t careful!!!

and then Alfred just KNOWS what tea Clark likes??? Why do you, as a butler, know what type of tea another man likes???? If not for the fact that the man you work for is dating the tea man????

There were so many other small scenes just between the two that were so superbat coded im not entirely convinced that it’s not real

[just-slightly-chaotic]

still thinking about the man who asked me for "regular tea with milk" at work yesterday and when i asked what he meant by "regular tea" he just looked at me like i'm stupid and repeated "regular" and i said "black then?" and he said "i don't know. regular tea. rooibos."

nesta isn’t necessarily kind to most people initially but she is incredibly thoughtful and will remember everything about that first interaction with a person for the rest of her life

Everyone please drop words of endless praise and gratitude towards my gf in the replies, her attempts to troll me have led me to discovering my new favorite perfume and I once more owe her my life

flashback to this post:

[not-poignant]

PIA. WHAT. please tell us about being a professional tea taster!!!!

Ahahaha, there's honestly not much to tell!

I fell into it completely by accident. I didn't actually even used to like tea, but that was because my only exposure was like, the milky sugary shit my english side of the family used to give me, and turns out, I don't like milk or sugar in my tea! I would've liked it just fine if they'd given it to me without those things.

(No shade to people who like milky sugary tea, I believe that stuff is the bomb if you love it, especially with biscuits).

However, a friend's older brother was just starting to be the first place in Western Australia to import in very high quality green, white, oolong and pu-erh teas into the state, and would do so by touring through China first, etc. This was before green tea drinking was really a 'thing' here (late 90s, early 00s), so they were here before any of the 'boutique' tea shops etc.

I started getting involved in tea ceremonies through said friend, started tasting the teas, and eventually we all realised I had a pretty good palate for it, and so I engaged in further training to help them write out their labels / brands etc. and eventually became a tea taster. I specialise in green and oolong, and started to get into white, but I think I miss too much of the nuance to do much more except enjoy it, lol.

Unfortunately their company never went far, they were outcompeted due to being at the crest of the 'green tea drinking is a thing' and while I kept it up for a while, I decided I didn't want to go the tea sommelier route (pairing tea with food), and just kept it up as a general skill, doing tea reviews for a couple of websites.

When I developed anemia, I had to stop drinking tea for a long time, because tea is actually one of the worst things you can drink if you have iron deficiency or any kind of anemia (yes, really, ask your hematologist if you don't believe me).

I can probably have about one/two cups a day now, and I'm one of those elitist bitches who has the temperature kettle (certain teas are best brewed at specific lower temperatures), and only drinks loose leaf tea with no milk, honey, lemon or sugar in sight and sets all my brewings to strict temperatures. But that's just because that's the way I like it. I can't stand matcha, unless it's in a matcha tiramisu. And my personal taste means nothing, because it's about other people's personal tastes. The tea you like says nothing in particular about you, except that you like it. :)

I once had a moment when we had some tradespeople come over and I offered them coffee/tea, and when they said tea, I realised they wanted like... a teabag brewed tea with milk and sugar and on the day we had no milk (I'm lactose intolerant) and only had green teas and I felt so embarrassed, lmao, so now I always carry some teabag tea for guests.

This is now my favourite brand:

And this is what they all look like.

I go through them a lot more slowly than I used to! And I don't drink much black tea anymore sadly due to reflux, but I'll still make time for it.

I can talk a little too much about different provinces, aging techniques, and more, but not enough to do it as a job anymore. But I loved it when I did it and I still love sharing green tea with the friends who love it these days.

Lmao me like 'there's not much to tell' but still manages to turn it into like 100 paragraphds fasdlkjfsa

do you ever have one post that continuously generates notes because people keep bapping it around years later but almost every other original post you make gets maybe a like

[steeb-stn]

what if jackson is suuuper picky about who they let in and like. Basically unless youre like a surgeon or have some super valuable skill you only get in if you’ve got relatives inside

and anyways thats why maria and tommy get married (i mean thats not WHY, WHY they get married is because theyre in love and would do literally anything for each other, but yeah, marias like. All i have to do to keep this man in my life is put a ring on his finger and make a vow of love and loyalty for life to him? Say no more

what if maria meets tommy out on patrol. Hes sick or injured or something, but despite this he ends up saving her life, which earns him her trust. She keeps him a secret bc shes not sure what the others would do about him, brings him food and maybe medicine and stuff. Finally they decide its time to bring him back to jackson, and she swears for him, and the others are like waaaah we know nothing about him and he has no family here, and maria is like oh??? Doesnt he???

and the naysayers have to allow it because how are you going to say no to the founder of the town’s husband, but theyre like yeahhhhh itll last a few months then this guy will move on. BUT TOMMY AND MARIA PROVE THEM WRONG BC THEY ARE TRUE LOVE

hey psst. in case you didn't know, for period cramps:

drink some raspberry leaf tea, traditional medicinals brand is my go-to. works wonders for me and may help you too

tea is actually super easy to make too! just boil or microwave some water and put a teabag in & let it sit for roughly 15 minutes and you're good to go

if you have a coffee pot that uses pods (like a keurig) you can also use that just make sure there's no coffee pod in (this is my chosen method)

lavender candles & incense can help soothe your body as well as cinnamon

and honestly can never go wrong with a hot bubble bath, idk if I'd recommend it when blood flow is heavy tho

doing core stretches can help too

most importantly: make sure you're staying hydrated and giving yourself breaks when needed!

Heh, that's funny I sent the same thing to the mutual I reblogged the ask game from

You're almost spot on, to be honest. I don't have an autism diagnosis but every time I see a symptom mentioned I go "Oh I do that!", but also there's major symptoms that I don't have, so I'm not sure if I do have autism (sometimes I feel like the token allistic in my mutual circle, like a strange pet). Green tea absolutely fucks. I have a teddy bear that looks very similar to the one in the ask game, sans the tie.

my little brother was really sweet I was excitedly showing him my tea and he was like “u always have the coolest hobbies” like despite everything I am still just little old me 🥹🫶🏼

Since the Best Tea poll is doing so well i thought i'd add to it with this poll on the great divide: loose leaves vs tea bags. Who will win?
