Angrboda drank Black Powder Blend by Luka Te m.m.

I have armed myself with my laptop, my atlas and a large cup of this tea (using the very last of my leaves, sadness!).

Guess what I’m doing now.

Yay! Route planning. Have you considered using Google Earth to help with the planning?

Nah, too much technical hassle with figuring out how stuff works and windows open. I’ve got a list and my atlas open on eastern USA, and then I can switch people around. Google Earth often has the same effect on me that Wikipedia does. Distractions galore! I always end up following a load of links in the text and ending up on an entirely different subject. I’d just get stuck trying to find everybody’s houses. :)

I soooooo appreciate you doing all this planning!

Thank you, Jacqueline. :)

I appreciate you also. In truth, I suspect everyone appreciates the work you are doing on this.

Hyrulehippie, I have to. :) I know the approximate whereabouts of the various states but I’m not THAT strong in american geography. And google earth and such would just have me trying to find everybody’s houses and I’d never get finished. :p

Hyrulehippie & Lena, thank you, you’re quite welcome.

Profile

Bio

Angrboda felt her bio needed to be re-written, but she failed to consider what she wanted it to say instead.

Um…

Okay. Ang prefers black teas and the darker sorts of oolongs. She has to be in the mood for green and white and she enjoys, but knows little to nothing about, pu-erh.

Her preferences with black teas are the Chinese ones, particularly from Fujian, but also Keemun and just about anything smoky. She occasionally enjoys Yunnans but they’re not favourites.

She is sceptical about Indian blacks as she generally finds them too astringent and too easy to get wrong. She doesn’t really care for Darjeelings at all.

She likes flavoured teas as well, particularly fruit flavoured ones, but also has an obsession with finding the Perfect Vanilla Flavoured Black.

However, she thinks Earl Grey is generally kind of boring. Cinnamon and ginger are also not really a hit, and she’s not very fond of chais. Evil hibiscus is evil. Even in small amounts, and yes, Ang can usually detect hibiscus, mostly by way of the metallic flavour of blood it has.

Ang is not super impressed with rooibos or honeybush. She doesn’t care for either, really, but when they are flavoured, there have been known to be surprising exceptions to this rule.

Ang has a number of teas that she regards her Standard Panel and will always try to have on hand.
-Lapsang Souchong, any brand really, but preferably AC Perchs.
-Blackberry flavoured black or similar, any brand.
-Late Summer Blend, AC Perchs
-Raspberry Oolong, AC Perchs OR Red Fruits Oolong, Le Palais des Thes
-Caramel, Kusmi OR Toffee, Le Palais des Thes
-Something orange flavoured, black or pu-erh, any brand.
-Tan Yang Te Ji, Teaspring OR Bai Lin Gongfu, Teavivre
-A good Keemun, any brand.
-The Perfect Vanilla Black if and when she ever finds it…

Angrboda is almost always open to swapping. Just ask her.
