Green tea is tea leaves that haven't been burnt to hell, so they're still relativly fresh.

They have more of a lighter taste...almost grassy.

It can also be more bitter than black tea if it's left too long to brew (1 sugar recommended!) Brew for about 2 mins. I'd suggest getting a flavoured one to begin with if you're not used to it.

Anyone tried Russian Caravan tea? It's amazing

Hells yeah you can get it here! It's one of the best - although Tazo does a nice job with Chai.

Not a huge fan of Good Earth though... it's really cinnamon-y and kind of feels like one is drinking pepper. It burns! Am I alone on this one? :lol:

Aww, nevermind then. I haven't tried green tea, but I drink normal tea :D With biscuits... I am too British!

No. Only those with the finest beverage preferences are cool in 2009.

You speak much truth. :D

Biscuits as in the buttermilk variety or biscuits as in the "British way of saying cracker" ? lol


Chocolate Digestives all the way 8)

And yes! I did hear about the UFO and the wind turbine. I am highly fascinated. I watched a report awhile ago, and it was basically a guy going "Uhm, uh, well. These people haven't studied it yet, so its probably a plane. They can sustain alot of damage you know."

But can they carry a wind turbine blade, with out any traces? I don't think so...

The MoD has no report as of yet... Should be interesting how this pans out.

Yeah I've been following this. It does seem abit weird. I bet the MoD won't ever put out a report, they'll just say it wasn't worth the while, when all the time they'll have a file thicker than Andre the Giant's neck!!

Turns out, the colour of the universe is a kind of Beige, and its called "Cosmic Latte"
The universe and coffee run hand in hand, it would seem.

EDIT: Maybe next time I'll pay attention to my crappy spelling in titles :P


Also, the universe hums in b-flat. http://www.beautyinmusic.com/misc_pages/the_big_note.htm

If I tried real hard to relate that to coffee, I'd say that your electric coffee pot uses A/C power. Alternating current is either 50hz or 60hz depending on where you live. 60hz is between b and b-flat, 50hz is between g and g-sharp. :mrgreen:

Most likely. That, or I dunno, it spontaneously combusted, totally evaporating itself. Maybe I shouldn't give them ideas :P

And wow, that IS trying hard ;) Although, I find it kinda cool how the universe "hums." :D

Speaking of the universe humming - you know what blew my mind when I found out about it?

Not too long ago, my brother was telling me about how the deepest sound to ever reach Earth came from an extinct Quasar which probably died... millions maybe billions of years ago, but it's signal was only received recently :D

AND the cool part is, the pitch was a B; but it was a B that was something like 81 octaves below the lowest B on an full-scale piano. So, people can't hear it, but I thought that was one of the most interesting things I've ever heard in my life.

Ahh, the sound and color of the universe, it's boggling. Carl Sagan would be proud of this thread.

That IS very interesting! Thank you for sharing that with us.

I like herbal teas that dont have caffine. Anything with caffine makes my heart feel like its beating out of my chest and it makes me feel nervous and anxious. I can go on for ages on how amazing bubbletea is but Im sure mostly people know how awsome it is to be able to eat and drink something at the same time! Mwahahaha!

I'm pretty sure Meshuggah's already working on achieving that sound.

Sorry, but it's nonsense. There's no sound withouth atmosphere (or some other medium), so no sound can come from space. Also, the lowest keys on a piano are about 30 Hz, and 30 * (0.5^81) = 1.2×10^-23, meaning one cycle of the sound would take 2.6×10^15 years, many many times longer than the age of the universe...

Mmmm, coffee... :)
