there, I said it!

I think Bigelow's Earl Grey is nicer than Twinings's.

I want to argue with you but I don't know what Bigelow's tastes like and besides, I don't like Earl Grey anyway.

[monster_grrrl]

See, I would send you some, but there's no point if you don't like Earl Grey.

[jasonelvis]

coud you send me something I would like and in return I'll send you a comic about me putting a chocolate egg up my bum (amongst other stories)?

[monster_grrrl]

Yes! What kinds of tea do you like?

[agent_mph]

ooo...that's blasphemy in my house! we only drink the twinings e.g. actually, i'd probably drink either and not care much. it's a certain other someone who has picky tea tastebuds.

[monster_grrrl]

Twinings is so ubiquitous here, and I get sick of it so fast. I had Bigelow's Earl Grey in the airport on Wednesday night, and I could smell the bergamot, which was really exciting. It actually tasted like something!

[asetwoman]

Bigelow's is pretty good. I had some recently and then I had some organic Earl Grey from Trader Joe's, and I think the Bigelow's was actually better tasting.

[monster_grrrl]

Bigelow's makes some really nice teas (for bag teas, that is). I love their cinnamon stick. There's always such good flavour.

I very rarely have access to Trader Joe's, so I don't know if I've had their organic Earl Grey.

I don't even drink tea that's bagged. It's all loose leaf for me! I go to House of Tea near Rosedale Station. They have fantastic teas. I'm a drink snob, I know...*sobs with shame*

[monster_grrrl]

Ha! At home I drink loose leaf, but at work or if I'm out, it's often bag tea. (Although I have a small amount of loose leaf at work for when I can't take the bags anymore.)

So we totally have to go loose leaf tea shopping. We can do a tour some day - or have an ongoing quest to visit every tea shop in the city. I found House of Tea rather expensive, but I haven't been there in a while. I love Tealish, at Queen and Walnut (near Trinity Bellwoods Park), and there's also the Tea Emporium, Say Tea, and Pippins. I forget where The Tea Leaf moved to, but they used to be in the Beaches and had really nice tea.

OMG tea date!

[gloriapatch]

That sounds cool! House of Tea gives me totally personalized service. They remember what I like and guess what I might have run out of -- I've been going there for years. But I'd check other shops too. House of Tea is also near one of my workplaces = easy.

[monster_grrrl]

So nice to be a regular, huh? That sounds like a good deal. I sort of have that at Tealish, but I haven't been in in a while due to excessive busy-ness.

Well, someone had to take a stand.

[ping_win]

Peterbilt, will you be my hetero internet husband?

[peterbilt_47]

I've dreamed of this day.
