Angrboda drank Coconut Cream Pie by 52teas

This is what’s for dessert today.

Lovely. Really, it is.

It’s just… I’m really craving the infamous raspberry oolong tonight and I’m coming to the conclusion that I have precious few fruity teas in the flat.

I’ll sip this and read a few pages of my book while waiting for Top Gear to come on.

(And OMG I just realised something completely unrelated RE Mariages Freres…!!! No, I’m not saying. Don’t want to get my own hopes up. Be_LIEVE_ me, if I’m right, my Steepsterites, you will find out. All in due time.)

Angrboda 2010-02-27 14:09:17 -0500

But you can haz Samovar. And H&S. And Damn Fine Teas. And so on and so forth.

Ricky 2010-02-27 14:13:24 -0500

Now ~$50 shipping isn’t too outrageous ;)

Angrboda 2010-02-27 14:14:34 -0500

…compared to what, exactly?

52teas 2010-02-27 14:27:44 -0500

Raspberry Oolong, eh? Sounds like a good combination. Maybe we should create such a blend…

Ricky 2010-02-27 14:33:25 -0500

And then I shall purchase it ;)

Haha, compared to ummm…….. =]

Angrboda 2010-02-27 14:34:22 -0500

The one in question here is this one: http://www.perchs.dk/default.asp?doo=changeLang&opt=2&page=specifik.asp&id=3035
It has raspberries primarily and also black currants and it is MADE OF AWESOME! Just ask Ricky.

Ricky 2010-02-27 14:57:35 -0500

Amazingness! =]

Ricky 2010-02-27 14:58:08 -0500

Just ask Jacqueline.

Ricky 2010-02-27 15:02:45 -0500

It’d be rude if we forgot Jillian ;)

Angrboda 2010-02-27 15:06:26 -0500

Who had the lowest rating of it. At 75.

sophistre 2010-02-27 15:16:17 -0500

Is it silly that I read this and my thought was, ‘mmmm, Top Gear’? I guess some things can compete with even dessert tea.

Angrboda 2010-02-27 15:19:56 -0500

They were building their own electrical car. It was hilarious. :D

takgoti 2010-02-27 16:35:56 -0500

I. LOVE. TOP GEAR. Seriously, I heart it so freaking hard. I don’t know what it is about them three and their goofy ways. Oh, and The Stig. Cannot forget The Stig. And The Stig’s African cousin.

Angrboda 2010-02-27 16:40:50 -0500

I totally agree! I love that show, and I’m so immensely uninterested in cars. Heck, I don’t even have a driver’s license. But that show is one of the best things north of the Alps, srsly.
Today they had The Stig’s Vegetarian cousin. He had a green driving suit and a solar panel on his helmet. :D

wombatgirl 2010-02-27 18:06:45 -0500

The Stig’s American cousin was.. interesting.

wombatgirl 2010-02-27 18:06:56 -0500

(But, also LOVE that show.)

Angrboda 2010-02-27 18:12:00 -0500

They’ve also had The Stig’s Lorry-Driving cousin. He was overweight and had a tanned arm.

takgoti 2010-02-28 00:56:42 -0500

If I were a celebrity, Top Gear would be the one show I’d fight a bear to be able to go on. I’d just be afraid that I’d kill myself on the lap. And that I wouldn’t be funny enough.

cteresa 2011-03-24 11:57:37 -0400

What is about Mariage Freres? can you point me on the right way? I am very interested in MF!
this tea sounds interesting btw!

Angrboda 2011-03-28 07:03:05 -0400

cteresa, the thing I realised about MF when writing this post was that I was going to Paris a few days later at the time and I thought I might be able to pick some up while I was there. Sadly, it didn’t happen (I forgot), but I did get some nice Kusmi while we were there. :)

cteresa 2011-03-28 07:34:09 -0400

Oh, duh then :) Thank you for the reply and wishing you many tea shopping opportunities.

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.
