Compost tea? I'm trying to brew five gallons a week!

Probably not real tasty, though, unless you are a plant.

Well I'll say this N_FF, judging by the shaving and your tea, when you do something you go big! Pretty elaborate set up.

Pretty much just have a bunch of regular old black teas 'round here. Have some other stuff too, like Chrysanthemum and Artichoke teas. Allegedly good for the liver. God knows it needs all the help it can get.

I had neither had nor heard of matcha before now. Will have to run down to Teavana and get some and a whisk too.

ok - the answer to my trivia question - why do Oriental tea cups have no handle on them?

if the cup is too hot to hold, it is too hot to drink

[N_FF]
