animal rapes (NSFW!)

I wondered whether it was animals raping other animals or animals raping humans or humans raping animals. Is it worse for a man to rape a baby or an animal?

I quite like tea once in a while, btw, but not that often. I think I prefer PG Tips to Yorkshire Tea.

I had about a year or so that I drank tea, but then I, for who knows what reason, stopped. Green tea was my preferred type.

Hmm, I think I like Chai (with milk right?) the best. I had it the first time in a curry restaurant in Tokyo the day before I left back home. It was divine. But I don't know how to make it (at home). :-( I also like regular black tea (with a gazillion lumps of sugar). I also like bancha tea which is superhealthy. I am crap at drinking water but if I put a gallon of bancha on the table, I'll have that in a hour. I also quite like green tea. I should take it up again as it's superhealthy. yum yum.

Oh yeah I used to drink a shitload of fruit flavoured tea. I know it's crappy but like I said I'm bad at drinking water... I need fluids.

1. love tea. A cup of tea solves everything.

2. earl grey, green tea with jasmine, green tea with lemon

pg tips - i will have to look into that. green tea is a very badass choice. i commend you for that. a man who prefers green tea is a man that would survive longer than most if he got lost while on a hike in a remote region. and what's more, he would be at peace with himself.

chai is best without milk and sugar. i am sorry if i offend you when i say that. you can make chai in a regular teapot or in a pot on the stove. you just need a strainer. sometimes i even chew the bits at the end if they get through the holes, but not as often as i will other teas (rosehip, for example, is heavenly chewing).

i think it is a much worse for a human man to rape a baby than an animal. after all, a baby will never sniff crotch or otherwise insinuate interest of that sort, while an animal sometimes will. i don't personally condone rapes of any sort.

I like a good ceylon black tea and I love a brown rice green tea. I may make myself a cup right now.

you've whetted my thirst for green tea with lemon. i have fresh lemons. thank you for that thought.

What Tea do you drink? Can Tea form worldview?

I know Ed doesn't want us to revive old threads but I'd much rather talk about tea on a thread that didn't have a title such as this one.

I remember my Japanophile mum laughing at her MIL drinking green tea with lemon. I then needed to tell her that, yes, it exists and isn't so funny.

What is wrong with this thread's title?

exactly, thank you for understanding. i don't hold my little finger out and say things like 'positively scrumptious' while drinking, nor do i scoot around town on a vespa, and i don't expect behavior of that sort from man, woman or beast. the title is so only the meanest, hardscrabble sex-thinking jabronis will deign to talk about tea under this roof. i think that is how it should be.

i just finished a pot of bancha with fresh squeezed lemon and it was not half bad at all.

I prefer coffee.

my wife loves tea. she's obsessed with earl grey - especially with rose petals - and loves black teas of all sorts, and about once a year will go through a month-long period of ranting about yunnan, pu-erh, and use phrases like "tippy golden" or "gunpowder tea" or whatever. she'll brew the tea and then take the leaves out and play with them. we have an entire cabinet filled with canisters, bags and cakes of tea dating back ten years or so.

me, i just ask her for "something with peppermint" when i'm sick. and i like southern sweet iced tea. but that's about it.

also: she hates green tea and despises herbal "tea."

Herbal "tea" is indefensible.

Fruit "tea" is worse

i luv genmaicha!

I was raised on Earl Grey, it was all the tea I ever knew. Herbal tea drinkers scare, irritate and confuse me. I recently decided to branch out in pursuit of new orthodox flavours. Ceylon was dissappointing - but, having turned to Darjeeling, my faith in the concept of the diverse teashelf is restored. Where should I turn next in the exploration of the tea cannon?

ps hawkwindz yr wife is sooo tea ignorant gunpowder is green tea

Earl grey to Darjeeling, a light tea drinker. You could try some Niligiri hills tea.

There's nothing wrong with peppermint tea for fuck's sake!

I had chrysanthemum tea for the first time last night (at a lovely if dear Vietnamese place). It was superb. Henceforth it is my official favourite tea.

like actual rose petals, floating on top of the tea?

your wife sounds badass. i like herbal teas on occasion myself, but i can see where she is coming from. a person can hate tea and still like herbal tea. sort of like the eminem or public enemy of tea.

exploDation of the tea cannon!

for that you would need gunpowder tea.

i am guessing there. i have never tried gunpowder tea and i confess i had to look it up to even see what it was. according to wikipedia, it is green tea rolled up into little balls, like the kind you would put in a gun i guess. i don't know how rolling the leaves into little balls would affect the taste, but i don't want to find myself on the wrong end of an exploding tea cannon so i will keep stumm on that point.

Mmm, Assam.

you like that tea so much, you made it into a palindrome.

ps hawkwindz yr wife is sooo tea ignorant gunpowder is green tea

no, that was me being ignorant and just trying to dredge up bits of tea terminology from memory! i do think we have some of that around, though. even a container of white tea, which i think you rub against a mug of hot water or something, and some rooibos she bought in a moment of weakness.

like actual rose petals, floating on top of the tea?

your wife sounds badass.

the rose petals are actually in the tea, i think. also, she's badass in a tea-drinking, constantly reading, quiet folk singer sort of way.

oh my apologies to yr wifey then. green tea is the best tho.

she's leonard cohen-style badass.

speaking of tea, i have to go see a man about draining a lizard.

so clicking on a clearly labelled NSFW thread, at work, C or D?

i love green tea. there's an awesome little chinese tea shop in dc that sells some great stuff, especially green varieties. kind of expensive, but it's a nice shop. genmaicha, hojicha, snow pine, these are some i've been enjoying lately.

i don't drink much black tea, i'd rather just have coffee. though i enjoy it occasionally. oolongs are nice. i also like the smoky black teas like lapsang souchong.

i've had an herbal tea (or isn't it called "herbal infusion"?) here or there that wasn't too bad. my girlfriend loves herbal tea.

I like proper herbal teas, i.e. ones brewed from herbs, like verveine or peppermint. Those one that seam to be ribena in bag form are pretty awful.
