Forgot that in Germany and Austria people just like to eat a 1 inch thick slab of random meat in between two pieces of bread with no toppings or condiments

because you requested asks: would you like to make a post of your favorite teas? i know, that's too broad, but i'm leaving it open on purpose so you can do whatever you like with it--organized however you like, flavored and non-flavored; black, green, oolong, white, etc; whatever sparks joy. also this one's a selfish question: do you have any absolute favorite tea brands you like to order from, brands that you know whatever you're gonna get will be good? selfish bc i hate paying multiple shipping fees so i'm always lowkey looking for The One (or maybe the Two or the Three). if that part feels too weirdly blatantly advertise-y for a post but you'd like to answer, you can totes DM me the answer

Let me trying doing this while I really want tea...

I'm afraid I don't have a singular tea brand that I love for every type of tea, and I feel you on the conundrum of shipping from multiple companies. I get around this partially through an impressive local spice and tea store which sells many brands as well as a wide range of house blends.

I'm not going to share that store publicly here, and am also not going to share a couple of other absolute favorite teas which are house blends of specific tea houses which would reveal my location.

As far as brands - in general, if I am buying tea from a grocery store, I am probably going to go with Bigelow or Ahmad. If it's a fancier grocery store, I might go for Harney & Sons.

More specifically, and mostly about flavored teas:

Earl Grey is my typical morning tea, so I go through a lot of it. I typically buy Bigelow's earl grey, which in my opinion has the strongest bergamot flavor of the popular commercial blends, or I buy one of the house blends from the tea store I mentioned above. I also like a good lavender earl grey, and have recently gotten into Harney & Sons' Victorian London Fog. Harney & Sons' Paris is in the same family as earl grey and very lovely.

I almost always love floral black teas. Right now I have two rose teas I go back and forth between: Tay Tea's Persian Rose and Fortnum and Mason's Rose Pouchong. I have generally thought that Fortnum & Mason is overrated, but I was given this one as a gift and it's gorgeous. I am presently eking out the last bit of a tin of Bellocq's The Queen's Guard, also beautiful.

For chai, Vadham has a wide variety of chai varieties, all of which are excellent, and I also love Ahmad's cardamom black tea.

Other spiced black teas I love include Bigelow's classic Constant Comment, August Uncommon's Painted Desert, and Witchwood Tea House's Witch's Brew.

Oolong is pretty magic to me, and I love most varieties, including osmanthus oolong, orchid oolong (I have one from Art of Tea), and milk oolong. August Uncommon's Dark Iris, which is oolong with peach, pistachio, and rose, is a delight.

I like the main varieties of unflavored green tea, will never say no to a good jasmine green, though I'm not wedded to a particular brand. I absolutely adore kahwa, which is a green tea with saffron and almond, though the place where I got the one I love is no longer making it.

For iced tea, my absolute favorite is this raspberry rose oolong from a company that's no longer extant; once I'm running low I'll be looking for a replacement. Ahmad has a number of fruity teas which I love to make iced.

ETA unflavored black teas, quickly, because I feel bad about leaving them out: I don't have specific brand recommendations because I get a house blend typically, but I am mostly into darjeeling and ceylon, some assam! Smoking teas like lapsang souchong typically aren't for me.

hey james,,, buddy,,,, pal,,,,,,,

i'm gonna need further elaboration on your open fire cricket roasts because WHAT

listen...

so when i was in elementary-middle school, i went to this small private christian school. and every year, the church and school would get together to throw this big barbecue at the end of the school year. and there would always be a big bonfire. i had heard from somewhere at the time that some insects like crickets and grasshoppers were edible and considered a delicacy or something in certain places. so 10 year old me thought, "well, why don't i give it a shot?" thus i would go out into a big field to catch grasshoppers and then i would stick them on a skewer and cook them over the fire. for some reason the adults around me allowed this. i even convinced several of my classmates to try them. mind you, they did not taste good. i did not like them. but i ate them anyway because i had already committed to the bit. in hindsight im pretty sure it just made everyone around me wildly uncomfortable and all my classmates thought i was a freak

I changed the smokey special drinky drink a bit 🤏 but instead of actually altering anything I just went from the juice of a lemon wedge to half a large lemon 🍋

i'm going 2 the doctor for the first time in A While because i've been having Unusual headaches consistent enough to actually describe to a doctor and honestly the number one sign that its different from my normal mysterious headache is that drinking makes it better instead of worse

I saw on Social Media™️ that people were making "POTStails" which are mocktails made with electrolyte powder and flavored/mixed to disguise the saltiness and therefore give you a nice sodium boost as a beverage and frankly they're all much tastier sounding than my usual tactic of "as much chicken top ramen I can stomach"

sex is highkey like the worst human need. kinda gross if I'm being honest. but food? don't even get me started on food....

Had a dream last night that I made like 3 posts that were supposed to be 0 note flop posts but all of them broke containment and I kept getting gimmick blogged. There were normal ones you see regularly of course. Hellsitegenetics, person who said if the post is boba or kiki, haiku bot, ect. But I also got gimmick blogged by a blog that doesn’t exist using a feature that doesn’t exist? They managed to insert photos and text into each option of a poll. The person running this asked something like “which should we give op?” With each poll option being different fanart of a Pokemon? But also each option had a monetary worth listed next to it??? Anyways there was a scolipede with wings one the poll and it was the least chosen I was so sad.
