Actually this is a better part of the site as you can see the ads with the chimpanzees and the newer Aardman (Wallace and Gromit, Creature Comforts, Chicken Run makers) ones

Sweet tea. A couple of quarts of water and a fistfull of whatever teabags are nearest the front of the cupboard (Lipton, Red Rose, Jasmine) and a couple of cups of sugar. Boil. Stir, remove from heat. Let steep while you get a big pitcher and put at least 4 or 5 or more trays of ice in it. Pour the tea over the ice, top off with cold water from the tap. Serve over ice in large plastic cups. Aaahhhhh!

PG Tips are a type of bagged tea... the tea bag is in a pyramid shape for maximum brewage I believe.

Cute. "Couldn't fit into the dressing room." hahehehehh. Pretty good. Say, Cyclefrance, that wasn't you getting up from behind the little Renault in the 1970s Tour de France ad, was it?

Bigelow Plantation Mint, Stash Chai, Good Earth Jasmine, Good Earth Ginseng (I don't really "believe" in the herbal crap, I just like the way it tastes... Although a friend of mine told me that it'll "balance my male equilibrium." Snort.)

I'm not a huge tea fan, but sometimes I really like to have a cup of Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime Tea (it's chamomile) before bed.

I strongly believe that tea can only properly be made with the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis.

And that the water should be freshly boiled and poured over loose leaves that have either been fermented (i.e., black) or partially fermented (i.e., oolongs). I do not prefer the unfermented or "green" tea.

I prefer a large mug

and half-n-half and sugar.

Well, technically, an 'herbal' tea is a tisane.

I was going to say that but I figured I was deep enough into Clavin territory.

I just picked up some of Republic of Tea's Good Hope Vanilla Rooibos from Cost Plus World Market.

The vanilla is nice, but they have an artificial cream flavor mixed in. To me this tastes like what you get when you drink water out of a glass that just had milk in it.

So far, the Trader Joes Rooibos is the best version I have tried.

It was $7.99 instead of the $8.75 list price. This was a lot better than the $10.99 another store wanted.

Nice container, though.
