I think you mean inevitable.

Eh, no herbals for me please... I remember getting sick from them because of how strong it smelled, I don't think it affects most people the same way. It was so bad for me that I threw up. Ecckkk....

This morning, I started off with Adagio's pouchong- not my favorite but it was there.

Not sure what cider donuts are exactly, but I am willing to learn. :P
MMmmmm, just had another. They are cake donuts made with apple cider. Sometimes they have apple chunks in them. They are not frosted but the cider makes them sweet and so good. Of course, they pair beautifully with the tea of your choice. Opted for 'Champagne Oolong' with this one.

Victoria,
Yes, what a silly word choice ' probable' for me! OOOLong all day for me!

All who knows what HE might do this side of Mordor, HIS army could be preparing for an onslaught! There is still time.

No, Oolong HAS won, we just won't hear about it. It is a silent victory. But a victory nonetheless. Ha!

Oh, no no. Sorry, Victoria. Didn't mean to be so cryptic. It's just our Oolong #40, aka 'champagne oolong'. It really hits home with a cider donut and is like an old friend somehow.

does "other" mean refusing to vote? :P
Although most herbal teas are just called tea and have nothing to do with tea, I don't want to give them up in my life. rose bud, chrysanthumum, osmanthus, goji, these are must's in my life.

I voted "other" because what I really mean is Rooibos, blechhh. I know some people voted herbal meaning rooibos (blechhhh), but to me it is not really an herbal... and I hated to punish spearmint and peppermint and lemongrass and lemonbalm and the other palatable herbals just because I don't like rooibos, blechhh.

In my cup... hmmm... what will be next? I had some Darjeeling 22 early this morning, and some iced pu from some mini tuochas from SpecialTeas... was a nice hot cup last night, and a refreshing iced tea today. Maybe I will give it another go.

Free??? Shoot, I can't even BUY them!! Because the Queen of Oolong resides on the West Coast, and the new releases are released first on the East Coast, the Queen must wait and wait, and wait. So in order to defray this madness the Queen has now arranged with a loyal East Coast subject in South Carolina to purchase all new Oolong releases and send to her muy pronto. I was merely scouting to see if a royal accusation decree needed to be forthcoming.

My third brew this morning is a Spring Oolong from Lupicia.

Carry on.
