I love the smell and taste of my wife's green curry. It reminds me of the breakfast she made me the first time I spent the night at her place. So now I associate the smell of green curry with romance.

How screwed up am I?

'Proper' is not an oft used word in relation to tea here these days. Most 'Strines these days use teabags...Not that 'Proper' at all really.

None that I can see ??? Curry is Mana from the heavens !

I'd rather eat a feed of witchetty grubs...I really would, they taste great...Just like a mouthful of wriggling cashew nuts. You can have my curry for a handful of grubs Steph.

What can I say ??? Oh wait...............

I'm going to this topic for a quick minute...

Curry (pronounced /ˈkʌri/, Tamil:கறி) is a generic description used throughout Western culture to describe a variety of spiced dishes, especially from Indian or other South Asian cuisines. It is analogous to "soup" or "stew" in that there is no particular ingredient that makes something "curry".

Etymology

Curry is derived from the Tamil word கறி kari, meaning 'sauce'...

I understand what others are talking about here... Now, Curry that I have been exposed to was... Each night at the chow hall in Iraq, we had Indians, from India cooking for us... The smell was so strong that it would run you out.

A little goes a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg ways...

Back to tea...

Well just like there is a difference say between good and bad chili,the same can go for any cuisine..........But I still love the curry.As a matter of fact I had and awesome seafood Tikka Masala the other night at a nice indian restaurant in Lodo Denver along with some awesoms Chai...mmmmm ! Good grub and tea yayyy !!

ok, after reading on different teas, i decided to dive in, well i have gone for about 2 1/2 weeks without a cup of coffee, just tea, i like the fact that i dont have the heartburn any longer, that coffee gave me, i ordered some lapsang souchong, and some pu ehr, and am looking forward to it getting here, unfortunately, the lapsang was backordered, so i hope it wont be to long to wait. i have a pot on order also, so i will be trying it the right way.

You will notice also that the tea will make you alert,but you won't be bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball either.Welcome to the wonderful addictive world of tea.If you like your coffee with cream and sugar,you should try that as well.PG tips is a good strong English blend of Assam and Ceylon Black tea that is very nice.It's the every day tea of Britain,Goood Stuff ! And Agave Nectar is a good alternative to using sugar as well if your trying to watch your glycemic intake.It doesn't have the strong Flavor of Honey if you're trying to avoid that as well.

Another thing for you to try with your tea is maple syrup. Real maple syrup. It is a nice touch and can lend a little relief if you have a bitter cup.

I am a tea drinker also. I have not found any that I don't like (kind of like beer in that sense), they all have their own personality.

I want the teavana tea brewer, just have not bought one yet. I do use made tea bags that you can put loose leaf tea in, then you can take your loose leaf with you and not need all the accoutrements.

Here is another nice device if you have the spare change and spend time in the outdoors. I don't have one but I have had the chance to use one.
it is the Kelly Kettle
