Angrboda drank Puer aged in mandarin by Gold Horse Brand

I’ve been having resteeps of this all day. I’ve got girly issues, and far worse than that I’m having a hard time getting my head around the terrible things that happened in Norway yesterday. It’s unreal and incomprehensible that it could happen, and for a Dane it happened right next door. It feels very close to home.

I thought Norway was one of the most peaceful places in the world.

Resteeps of this serves as comfort tea today, and I’m keeping our Norwegian steepsterites in mind.

Have you tried raspberry leaf tea? I swear, that stuff works better than any aspirin or heat pad ever could! I could send some if you like? it has a pleasant taste, not medicinal like you would expect. A tad earthy.
It’s just one tragedy after another with these terrorist acts. My heart breaks with each one- and this one in a place where peace is celebrated makes it so much worse somehow

I’ve never tried that so I don’t have any handy. Maybe I’ll try and remember to look for it. I have an idea of where I can probably get some.

Latest figures I’ve heard says at least 91 casualties in Oslo and on Utøya, and they’re still searching.

Evil knows no boundries, state lines, national borders, or property lines.
We all hurt when something like this happens. It is simply madness.
Norway is in my thoughts today as well.

It’s a harsh reminder that it can come from within as well, the arrested being a right-wing extremist native Norwegian…

when will it end? the violence, suffering, horror… there is no good reason for any of it *sighs
Good luck with the tea!

Be safe, and drink lots of tea.

It’s shocked a lot of people. We are hearing things about it in the U.S. and thinking, how could this happen in Norway of all places?

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.
