Slog - Comments on The Last Bit of Slog Happy-Related Business From Me Today http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/the_last_bit_of_slog_happyrelated_busine Abby brought a whole bunch of these Choice Whole Leaf Organics teas to Slog Happy last night. Being a compulsive tea drinker, I've already had three different types. They are motherfucking delicious teas. I started with the Darjeeling, which was nice, although a little too fruity for my morning tastes—I should've waited until after lunch for it. Next, I had the Earl Grey, which was really quite a fine Earl Grey, and I just had a cup of the Jasmine Green, which was my favorite of the bunch. Apparently, there are also some decaf types of tea, too, but decaf...

It's our house tea - green tea with roasted organic brown rice. OMG delicious and full of beneficial antioxidants! Meaty, delicious and filling. Fresher in your mouth than coffee and fresher feeling inside the body. It's like starting every day with a spa. ;-)

I like the new fancy loose tea bags, but they do cause my mind to wander given all we're learning about endocrine disrupting chemicals leaching out of nalgene bottles, bottled water, and the like. And as another compulsive tea drinker, I would have to potential to take in a LOT of whatever is there. Maybe you should have Science look into it.

I love Jasmine tea, so I may have to check these out.

Plus it goes well with lunch.

Of course, while corn is definitely better than plastic, there are supply concerns in world markets for corn.

I know you can get some of these at PCC as well, and also at Fred Meyer (in the organic aisle).

It's odd, though; I haven't been drinking nearly as much tea recently as I used to when I was in school. Maybe pounding six cups of tea a day for five years burned me out.

Until then, the website is the place to get them (Paul linked to it).

Jessica, Greg, and Paul: you're welcome. Glad you enjoyed!
