I found Irish Breakfast Tea to be similar to English Breakfast Tea but more acidic. It's not as acidic as Scottish Breakfast Tea, but then few things are. I bought Twinnings brand for the Irish and Scottish teas. It's a brand that I like. I found it in the supermarket.
If acidic black teas aren't your thing, you might like Welsh Breakfast Tea. I fou...

Warming: Contains Profanity
You used to be able to enjoy a drink out. Not any more. No bartenders know what they are doing. They used to go to bartending school. No cocktail waitresses know what they're doing.

Went to the White Man's Food Maze. I normally avoid the vortex that is their coffee bar, but I thought I could get hot water to make the tea I brought from home. Their hot water had black debris in it, maybe coffee grounds from not washing the container? I tried to tell the snotty Asian woman that works there. I was right in front of her and she speaks En...

I've cut my hair.
I went to the bookstore, then to a diner to read a delicious book on conspiracies. It was eleven p.m. on a weekday, but the parking lot was pretty full. It can be like that there. Can't say it's the food or the service.
I only eat a donuts once or twice a year. I wanted a chocolate donut but they didn't have those. I ate a re...

Finally decided to step out and buy some expensive matcha. I'm still learning about this type of tea. I purchased Maeda-en Matcha tea powder at a local health food store with a large tea selection. Price: $18.39 for a one ounce canister. The tea comes in a foil bag inside. I add the tea to room temperature water and drank it. That's how I use matcha. For...

decaf green tea, decaf black tea and 2 more...

USA Finding Decaffeinated Teas I've written this to help people find decaffeinated black or green tea in the US, preferably in bags. I omitted the least expensive common supermarket brands. If you find brands like that here, it might be that they are English and I wasn't familiar with them. The vast majority of decaffeinated black te...
