The able2know Tea Room:: Now Open::

On Sunday's we have seances with intellectuals of the 20th and 19th century. You're admission is waived if you'd like to attend.

Save me a seat! Will I be scared?

They're intellectuals and sissies at that. They tend to be scare of the living!

Oy!!! Careful how you handle half of the national emblem!

I got a good compromise. Perhaps if we should hang their national flag out in honor of Australia, on the days we serve that potent tea then theirs and our honor will be kept clean.

I rather like that flag, tsar!

Now if we took the Union Jack out of it ......




It's a hot & sticky afternoon here. I wonder if you have any of that refreshing Oolong tea on hand?

Mademoiselle? A fresh pot of oolong is always waiting for your arrival.


Would you like to sit indoors or on the porch.


Henry, the house cat, has been waiting for you to drop by all day.

Thank you, thank you, tsar!

That tea arrangement looks like an artwork!

And the company of the house cat ... on the terrace, no less!

This is heaven!

"Their's"?

I'M an Aussie!!!


But I so don't do flags!

My faux pas!


Would a slice of chocolate cake make amends for the folly of my ways?

Lol!


Looks as though that cake would make amends for most things!

Feel free to rummage through the kitchen and take whatever you want... on the house. I'm going to bed. Just don't burn the place down if you decide to cook something.

I think I'll have my Irish Breakfast in the English Garden:

Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the sun (apologies for the lousy sound quality) ...

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
And she's always screaming and shouting,
And she's always brewing up tea.

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,
Cos he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy,
And a fresh made cup of tea.

Chorus:
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea.

If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take granny's stand-by potion
For any old cough or wheeze.
It's a cure for hepatitis it's a cure for chronic insomnia,
It's a cure for tonsilitis and for water on the knee.

Chorus

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper
time,
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing.
Tea when the weather's fine,
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Christ sake have a cuppa tea.

Chorus,

Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organization,
It knows no one religion,
Nor political belief.

Chorus.

up on black mountain we use gunpowder just to sweeten our tea.

That sounds a little explosive!

I'm just taking a little break from my work and thought I'd stop in for a relaxing cup

Neat thread tsarstepan. Although, I am not raising my pinky finger, when I drink tea.
Not a huge tea drinker,...but enjoy an occasional cup.
Blackberry sage, brown rice tea (don't knock it until you try it, many have assumed bad taste in regards to the name, many have changed their opinion), Oolong tea,, Hojicha, Genmaicha., Chamomile, and early spring mint leaves.
Iced or hot. Iced,...very weak tea, light in color, easy to guzzle. I don't think I ever typed that word. Guzzle. Hot, strong, black.,..or whatever color the leave renders ...
I have not read back on thread,...did you folks cover,...what food accompanies teas? I can not think of anything I'd like with tea to eat,...at least I pass on the scones, crumpets,..or little sandwiches..
More tea talk. Sweet southern tea. Is that the adult kool-aid? I don't mind the undissolved sugar cube at the bottom of the miniature tea cup, that amount of sugar, I can handle,...but some of that sweet tea from the south,....
and lastly,......sun tea. Many contest that since the water doesn't hit a boiling temperature, that bacteria is encouraged (Alcaligenes viscolactis) to grow. I never heard of anyone getting ill from drinking sun tea.

I've hadn't a decent glass of sweet southern tea since I left Fort Hood in 1994. Good times, sweet drink!

southern sweet tea is an abomination, yes that tea is a salt pancake on the body human. verily I sayth unto you, let not your lips pass such toxin known as southern sweet tea. Jesus ******* christ why can't you just settle for a Dr Pepper and let it go.
