The Tea That Never Lost Flavor

[Smells_Familiar]

I'd make my cash...

buy a solid gold toilet... then

then invest the rest in a new invention, infomercial style, ...and then go broke....

go broke on principal, mind you, but keep the toilet...lol

This is the most disturbing thing I have heard all week.

Do we need to have an intervention for you, S_F?

sorry...and please, i mean, "Intervention Please!",

if it involves nurses in tight white outfits attending to my projected ailments...

endless tea

once there was a secretive zen master
who lived high in the mountains and
was reputed to brew magic tea.

tea that yielded endless infusions
for hours, days, weeks, months,
years, millennia, eons etc. etc.

ajahn smells_familiar heard of this monk
and journeyed far into the mountains
to find the legendary master
who could make an endless cup of tea
from one tea leaf.

after many days of climbing
he found the master
living in a cave, drinking tea.

he respectfully sat in front of him
and marveled as the master
made pot after pot after pot for them both
of the most delicious,
fragrant and zestfully robust tea,
for days on end, without
adding to or renewing
the single leaf of tea that was
in the teapot since and for who knows
how long before he arrived.

after many days smells_familiar said
“master, may i ask a question”?

the master answered
with a single, shallow nod.

“where do you find such a magical tea,
whose life abides as if always in its first steep
and can provide tea endlessly even for days at a time”?

the master took a long time to reply.
he appeared to be contemplating whether the monk was ready to hear the truth.

then abruptly and with surprising disbelief
looked up from his gong fu tray and said
“from a guy named bambooforest on the www.teachat.com” message board.”

When I have a tea session, I don't like to interrupt it to start it again some hours later. So I very seldom get more than 7-8 steeps for a tea, even if I would be able to get some more steeps of it.
If I had such a miracle tea, I would simply throw the leaves away at the end of my session.

After thinking about this mythical tea, I have to agree with Olivier. Realistically, I would get bored stiff.

That's why you sell it as an RTD!

As long as I can say ":arrow: next" a few times a day calling for a new tea.

Best Thread for Ages!!

[hop_goblin]

Yeah cool thread! But then it is time to get back to earth and think logically. WTF is causing Sencha to become an "Ever-Lasting-Gobstoper"? I would have to ask else is in this tea or are the laws of physics ceasing to exist in your house!
