Coffee cup and tea talk

[BRBFBI]

Geez dude didn't know we were locked in a struggle to prove each other wrong.

No comment.

Don't know what it is but my sense of taste comes and goes. And I find a lot of things to be disgusting.

So you have the worst of both worlds. Sensitivity to bitterness AND you can't taste half the time. That is a disability.

wait wait wait.

I haven't heard anyone talk of sugar yet.

Alas there's a lot of tea talk.. suggesting..

un no drink t wit suga???

Digging around looking for an old package of matcha powder (which I cannot find) I found this. Forgot in addition to the Numi I also tried this one. Didn't like it. I wonder why the Ito En is so much better. Trying out my new tea strainer with Ito En Traditional and Ito En Genmaicha, cutting open the plastic bags and dumping the contents into my new little extra fine tea strainer. Works great.

Oh yeah, chuft said something about sweet tea, didn't he? I made a post before about soda being poison blah blah blah, well it doesn't mean I don't love the taste. Sweet tea is delicious, but it's not worth 80 grams of sugar. I do sometimes like a little milk and sugar in my black tea. It's been a while since I've done that... Now I'm craving it.

There's probably a reason Ito En is so popular. They're a huge brand and I'm sure they do a lot of research to make the best blends. My sense of taste isn't that strong, and I'm constantly drinking different teas and brewing them slightly differently. I'm not good at cataloguing the differences and sussing out which ones I like most. Glad the strainer system is working for you. I have a Japanese kyuu su clay tea pot, but it's a drag to clean.

Hehe. Soda will rot my teeth and I know it. But it's worth it

I always end up putting too much sugar in the tea and my mom says "is this just liquified-icecream?" But with less sophisticated vocab.

Do you want some tea in your sugar?

Dont go overboard! I don't wanna taste too much of the tea

Stopped at the Japanese grocery store today.


The tea bags are folded and stapled shut, so no plastics.

Ah but how are the strings attached?

I assume Natto is refrigerated? How long is it good for? Does it have an expiration date on it. Do you eat all it at once after opening one or can you save some?

The string is folded over and the staple covers it in two direction, so it is quite secure and I don't see any glue. Thanks for checking.

So many questions, lol. It comes frozen from Japan (my Japanese grocery store sold fresh, locally made natto for a while, but they stopped years ago). Once it's been thawed you keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days. Those little boxes in my shopping basket are actually 3 single-serve styrofoam containers bundled together, each one containing a 40g serving and two tiny packets of soy sauce and mustard respectively (some come with other types of sauce, and some come plain, but I like the mustard soy ones). 40g is a perfect serving size. You wouldn't want to save it because it's extraordinarily slimy and having to wash out a tupperware full of that stuff would be a nightmare.

Japanese people eat it mixed into spaghetti, on toast, as a filling in onigiri (rice balls), and tons of other ways I can't even imagine. I eat it over rice, or by itself if I'm out of rice or not that hungry.

Fanta. Fanta is superior

I don't like coffee so much, I usually drink tea. Not the fermented ones in the supermarket (I don't like those) but the biological dried herbs. Boiled water with a bit of sugar is nice too.

Coffee sucks. Tea is delicious. Also what's the difference? Every tea bag I get ends up tasting the same
