To start with this topic...

I'm going to drink a fantastic green tea

Great idea Luthy, I'll have a coffee

VladH · « **Reply #2 on:** April 26, 2007, 01:49:15 pm »

I already have my own cup of coffee

now we can speak about tea

Aluqak... who changes the topic?

Kicks him hard in the butt (or what fishies have as butt)

I think this topic needs a picture too:

I love fruit tea and many more! Don't know names on croatian so it's hard to write that on english.

Today I will choose white tea with tangerine aroma - will be great before sleep - in my reading time

I have some tea every morning, but if you want to talk to a tea expert, I think I should call my mother.

Hey there,

usually I have lots and lots of gunpowder - a variety of green tea - every morning.

Cheers!

Markus

Gunpowder is too strong for me, besides I prefer black, white and red sorts of tea but sometimes I can drink even it

Today no tea. It's morning so I'm sacrficing myselfto Gods of Caffeine

Luth · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2007, 08:17:05 am »

Tea has caffeine too. It's called teine (at least in Spanish, I suppose in English too), but the composition seems to be the same. So, it's caffeine too

VladH · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2007, 09:18:50 am »

But it works in different way... but teine is much stronger (but tea has less of it in it) - thanks for Toxicology classes

Markus · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2007, 10:22:28 am »

Hey folks,

as far as I know, what once was believed to be an alkaloid of its own and named tein is just caffeine in disguise.

The substance itself is the very same; yet tea and coffee work a bit differently - not because the main alkaloid would be different but because it's accompanied by different substances. Tea contains tanning agents that influence the effect of the caffeine.

Cheers!

Markus, brewing some tannine-rich gunpowder

VladH · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2007, 11:12:33 am »

Don't drink too much gunpowder... you can explode after

Markus · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2007, 11:46:35 am »

That's why I put it into water, Vlad.

VladH · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2007, 11:50:50 am »

Ooooooof... after so many days of drinking it probably I will see this explosion from here... Halle is not so far...

Gives fire extinguisher to Markus - for sure

I don't like coffee - tried it, didn't work. We went out a couple of times, but the chemistry just wasn't there.

Bad jokes aside, I'm a Tea-Man. Chamomile, while being a kind of herbal tea rather than a true tea itself, is definitely my favorite. I dunno why.

In times of trouble, if I want something harder, something heavier, I go for Earl Gray. Hot.

...

The homosexual innuendo notwithstanding. Iron, stop breathing heavily.

VladH · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2007, 04:47:02 pm »

Earl Grey is nice... as a tea. I don't know this guy himself but the tea is good - cold... with lemon and ice cubes.

I love peppermint tea - I drink 1 liter per day (weekdays at work)
