Thank you for prompting me to have one. I do a very bastardised version of the tea ceremony, Bela would have a fit if he saw it; very barbaric...

The photos is the second rinse at 20 seconds, which is when I poured it.

Or being shangheighed by said Junk and ported off to Some far away salt mine for a life of servitude.......but you still will get some tea I imagine. I see to many stupid movies heh.

Oh yeah...that sounds like the stuff to eat in Hobbiton for sure !!! Vanilla Custard ooooooooooobaaaaabee !

Just to clarify the last post. Steph is responsible for putting words in my quote above from the point of "Oh Yeah...", But I should have said that myself anyway Steph have a look online, you'll find recipes for Vanilla Slice. It really isn't that hard to make a 'Snot sandwich'!

Vanilla slice, AKA Snot Block (as it is known in Gippsland) is one of the few foods that can be associated with a disgusting name and still people love to eat it.

The town where I grew up, if you were not born there you would have to live there for fifty years before you could be known as a local. But if you could make a top notch snot block...

this morning starts with some pu erh, haven't drank some in a while but here is what i have.

Sounds like a plan Chad... I think I will have the same...

This tea is wonderful... Nice flavor

Backing up a bit.. 11 months or so... This Puerh seem to keep changing as it sits in the cupboard... Today it has brought the new meaning of Leather... Wonderful it is!

Sorry guys, I did a hack brew on this today... I was feeling like having more than 3 or 4 small cups... 12 or more it maybe today... This is a 15 second seep...
