So I was sitting here confident that I had done a pretty damn good job trying to make the house look pretty for all the party peoples, drinking a mug of my favorite tea. See for the last few years I have been totally in love with tea. I don't mean that Lipton tea bag crap either. I mean gourmet teas. The good stuff. The expensive stuff. Back in January for my birthday I got a box of Mighty Leaf tea bags(these are loose leaf tea bags) and inside was an organic earl grey. I had never had earl grey tea, but new it was pretty much the pride of England. I brewed up a bag and it was amazing. One of the finest black teas I have ever had. So I was browsing the aisles at World Market a few weeks later and picked up a tin of their new loose leaf earl grey. I got home and brewed up a cup of the most awful turpentine tasting teas I have ever had the misfortune of drinking.
Of course I returned it right?? No, why would I do that? So I decided tonight that I was going to try again. Maybe I did something wrong. So instead of using a full tea spoon for each 8oz serving of water I used a tea spoon for 12 oz of water. Instead of brewing for 3-5mins I went for 2mins. Well it still has this really awful paint thinner taste, but not as bad. I don't think I can choke down this whole mug of it though. Ugh, so bad. I highly recommend you DON'T buy World Market early grey. ick.
Oh and last, but not least, with the way the internet is, and people constantly spoiling stuff, how did Cloverfield stay so secret for so long? I can't wait to see this trailer!
