How goes it sir ross?

[Ross Vernal]

It goes well. I just ordered some tea for myself (passionfruit mango hibiscus green tea and "root beer" black tea (vanilla/anise flavors, with sarsaparilla root, dandelion root, juniper berries, cinnamon, ginger root, and burdock root) and a Mossy Oak BBQ set for my best friend for his birthday.

I'm still needing to buy a gift aside from flowers for my Lover Girl.

August is Birthday Month. The new "niece" and my mom on the 2nd, my buddy on the 3rd, cousin Arturo on the 7th, buddy Bryant's on the 11th, college friend Matt and Aunt Sue on the 13th, Eric on the 16th, homies girlfriend on the 20th, my girlfriend on the 21st, my best friend on the 23rd, jeweler cousin on the 25th, friend on the 29th, and aunt and dad on the 31st. Plus a bunch of my Tumblrfolk.

Ooh, I love sarsaparilla, it';s one of my favorite drinks, and good in tea, with a bit of licorice root

[Xanmyral]

All you people and your (presumably) delicious tea talk. Best tea I've ever had was from a store in one of those bags, some kind of English tea.

Any suggestions for an inspiring tea lover?

They have their own blends, BUT YOU GET TO DESIGN A TEA IF YOU WANT FUCK YEAH

Bases are black, green, oolong, and rooibos.

You get to pick two flavors: Almond, Amaretto, Anise, Apple, Apricot, Banana, Blackberry, Blueberry, Caramel, Cinnamon, Chai, Cherry, Chestnut, Chocolate, Cider, Coconut, Cranberry, Ginger, Hazelnut, Honey, Irish Creme, Lemon, Mango, Maple, Mocha, Nutmeg, Orange, Passion Fruit, Peach, Pear, Pecan, Peppermint, Pina Colada, Pineapple, Plum, Pomegranate, Pumpkin, Raspberry, Rum, Spice, Strawberry, Vanilla, Wintergreen and Zabaglione.

And two herbs (they tell you “WANT MORE THAN ONE HERB? Just mention it in that magical “Additional Information” section at check out and tell us where we can put it…. but be nice!”):
Basil, Black Pepper, Burdock, Catnip, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clove, Cramp Bark, Dandelion, Echinacea, Elderberries, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Ginkgo, Ginseng, Hibiscus, Japanese Dogwood, Jasmine, Juniper, Gentian, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, Licorice Root, Linden Flower, Lycii Berries, Maca Powder, Nettle Leaf, Peppermint, Raspberry Leaf, Rose Petals, Rose Hips, Sage, Sarsaparilla, Spearmint, Stevia, Valerian, and Yerba Mate.

You get loose leaves or bags. It’s 10 bags or 30 grams for 4.95, 20 bags or 60 grams for 8.75, plus shipping ($5 in the US!) If you want more tea for less money, you can order it in a plain paper bag - 11 or 22 tea bags OR 32 grams or 64 grams for 4.05 or 7.70.

I would have done licorice root but I wanted anise flavor and it's similar.

In the past, I've done amaretto chocolate black tea, passionfruit mango green tea, and peppermint camomile rooibos. I've also considered rum lemon lemongrass green, honey lavender oolong, pecan vanilla rose black, and spice cider camomile valerian rooibos.

[Xanmyral]

Some of this stuff I got no idea, but it sounds awesome. I'll definitely give it a shot, thanks man.

Ever since I've played a tea obsessed character I've been wanting to get into tea more and more since I dislike coffee/coffee products and etc.

EDIT: Oh god they got free samples.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

>those birthdays

Holy crap, how are you not beggared at the end of the month?! You must save up all year..

[Gamerlord]

Wait, what are we waiting on for the update? Is it Ross or is it us?

[Xanmyral]

From the sounds of it, this is a rather busy month for Ross.

[Remuthra]

I believe we are waiting for the intermission where all our characters sit around and drink tea.

[Xanmyral]

I'm now imaging most of the characters trying to drink tea. This idea amuses me too much.

-Morgrod drinks it and the obvious happen
-Neun spikes his
-Thales acting overly posh and knowledgeable by describing both the blend and ratios while drinking it, along with the type of water, if it was boiled and if so in what and how that makes obvious impurities
-Jewel wondering how the fuck tea works
-Rurail drinking tea like a normal person and explaining how tea works to Jewel
-Daeth ignoring the tea in favor of stories about tea
-Myrln making illusion crumpets and gentlemanly clothing while screwing with Thales and Daeth
-Tarana seeing the tea as a lesser blend to what she's used to
-Nathan looking at the group and wondering why the fishkin is the only one acting normal

[Remuthra]

I need a monocle for Thales, just to have one.

[Rolepgeek]

He's making illusions.

On a bard.

What.

But it wouldn't be stories about tea. It'd be a story related to it, but about the guy he met who he last had tea with, you see, he came from the far Continent of Junis, or not so much came as was coming back from, for...

And so on.

[Maxinum McDreich]

XD I love the imagery, Xan. In fairness, the DEMON seemed pretty normal aswell XD.

[Xanmyral]

Originally I had written that Daeth was relaying a story about how tea won a war due to a man from a far away culture, believe it or not.

Also Fae. Fucking Fae man. I don't question them, I just shirk away in horror. 'Cause you know you're in a horror game when between a Lovecraftian Fae, and a Lovecraftian Demon, you are scared of the Fae more because at least the demon is trying to kill you.
