    yeah those little sample tins suck, I use a spoon to get tea out of them and then I put it into the tea stick. With black cups you just need to use your judgement. There is no real tea rule, I tend to make super weak tea but that is how I like it. With pu-erh most people use about 6-8 grams of tea in a 4 oz pot. I use 3-4 grams of tea in an 8 oz pot. If you like it then you did it right!

    also something to know, as soon as I make that cup of tea I put my tea stick in a paper cup and put it in the fridge. Those leaves are good for another 2-3 cups of tea.

    that was another question. thank you. I was wondering. So far I only re-steeped once and thought it was fine. I will start doing that more now. I have both colored tea sticks so I can rotate more. Wife still isnt using hers.

    no problem. It definitely makes sense to try to get more of out your tea since it saves money!

    I've been trying to lately. Not working out as well as I hoped. I signed up for avon but their stuff is so nice I've spent more money buying avon products for myself then I've made in sales so far.

    Sorry about the coffee mug. I would be heart broken if I cracked mine.

    got it while I worked on main street, I'm a little sad because that isn't our main street. It's disney land's main street but what can ya do? walt didn't live to see disney world all finished.

    I put my lady gillette up on ebay, I got it cleaned up pretty well but not as well as I wanted to and I just don't have time for it right now :( . Maybe I'll get another one in the summer and try to clean it up.

    1. You sure they weren't shooting at you?

    2. If they kept shooting maybe they kept missing the same deer!

    Here is what I use(crappy webcam pic):

    It is technically a gin and tonic glass, but I use it for coffee and tea. It was wood fired here on campus. Its hard to tell, but it is actually red not brown.

    Nope, sorry.

    These are Mikasa. I like it cause it has a little indent inside, which is where I fill up to with coffee, and then add my milk. Not an intentional thing in the design I'm sure, but I use it that way.

    I do like Disney mugs, just haven't talked myself into buying one yet. Mine would probably have Grumpy on it, though.
