Angrboda drank Melon by Pickwick

I’m bagging it this morning. Just to be provocative.

That is all.

Tea bags?!
May the Iron Goddess have Mercy on your soul…

Think the Loose Mafia is going to come after me? :p

I know! I’m sure I’m some sort of traitor now or something.

Loose Mafia? You mean the Teavana employees?
They’re tough pushers.

Haven’t been subjected to those what with Teavana not existing in Denmark, but from what I’ve heard, they could be. ;)

Nah, they’re just the Greedy Corporate Mafia. XD

I have to agree, we have a Teavana in the mall here. They are very expensive and I just won’t pay their prices.

I learned there was a Teavana not 10 minutes from my house by car, but I’m afraid – very very afraid!! to get jumped on by the salespeople!!! A huge pet peeve of mine! I’ll stick to my lovely little local tea shop and online orders :)

I’ve actually had pretty decent luck with my local Teavana. Just say no, and they go away.

Our local Teavana sales people respond the same… ask if they can help, but I tell them I’m just looking and they leave you alone. So for me it’s the right amount of help… offer once but then no more. I wouldn’t want to walk in, look interested and have no one offer help either. While I find their quality to be good, I find their prices a bit high compared to online sales. But then they have a lease to pay and you can get the tea right away.

The Loose Mafia knows who you are. Don’t start reading any long novels….

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.
