TOTM (Tea Of The Moment)
TODAY TEA: Supreme Mugicha Roasted Barley tea by berylleb
TEA CUP: Agatha's Bester
"Roasted Barley Tea is called mugicha. This tea is a coffeine-free, roasted-grain-based tisane made from barley.
It is especially popular in Japan, Korea, and China, although it is consumed in other Asian nations and regions with a large Asian community as well. It is also used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute in American cuisine.
It is drunk hot in winter and cool in summer. It works up an appetite and aid digestion, and helps to extract impurities from the blood, and to thin the blood in hot summer weather."Last edited by fonthunter; 10-06-2012 at 05:29 PM.
Life is like a cup of tea... it's all in how you make it...

Oi, that's not tea fonthunter
Sheng today. 2008 something or other from Jingteashop. Tasted bad at first, lowered the temp after two brews and things were much more palatable. Not sure if this needs time or just isn't very good tea, I'm leaning towards not very good tea. If that's the case & considering the price, I'm quite happy to drink it at lower temps as it yields a pleasant cuppa. Would be nice to see it improve with age but I don't have much faith, traditional Glaswegian storage is not well renowned.
I love the little cup, it cost less than pound from a Chinese supermarket many moons ago. I started drinking lapsang souchon teabag tea from it when I was twelve or thirteen, coming on twenty years later and I still can't get enough of it.MickR and NoseWarmer like this.

That looks pretty! Not a bean can on a wire, or a hub cap, that's very nice.
I have in mind what I want for a tea set, but, I think it's the sugar grabber thingies that really bring it all together.
I have wondered, since you didn't opt to make, or mine your own sugar cubes, why are they not cubes? They are rectangles, all I can find are square cubes, is this another "down under" thing?

Last suger cube I saw looked square (cubed) to me...Of course I just eyeballed it. I didn't get out my set square and check the angles and side measurements to be 100% sure or anything...

Since it's just me by m'self...I just add my sugar to the pot and add milk to the cup as needed.Helps me regulate my sugar intake as well..otherwise I would have rotten teef by now. But given to my own devices...milk and sug when I can for a good ol blokes cuppa !..............followed by some lovely eggses, sausages,toast,fried tomato,taters,maybe even some mushrooms and oh maybe even a kipper if one is handy. ....Oh Hobbit ,hobbit settle thy self down !
