As long as it's used in a mature way and not blatantly vulgar.  A splash of tongue in cheek goes a long way while inappropriate overuse reduces impact.  Like CAPS.  Plus try to stick to relevant topics in threads, like Tea.


On that note, I prefer Jasmine, Lotus, Earl Grey w/ Bergamot, and Darjeeling.

Understood but it would hardly seem necessary to make a thread for one single Q&A.

So where do you all get your stuff from? Right now I use Adagio primarily but am looking into Upton for cheaper keemun. $12 for "english breakfast" keemun is pretty outrageous when Upton sells keemun from the same province for $6.80. Now given I don't know if they are the exact same but we'll soon see, about to order.

Specifying earl grey w/bergamot is redundant, as by definition bergamot oil must be included to be called earl grey

Yes, tea labels like life can be redundant.  Like when people ask if you have been to The Alhambra (literally The The Hambra)?  Or it depends on which way you read 'w/ Bergamot'.  As in Earl Grey w/ Bergamot must be 'w/ Bergomot' to be considered Earl Grey.  Though repetitive, not incorrect as in the previous example of redundancy.  Or does it mean a different proportion of Bergamot than would be considered the norm?  Hell, what happens to you when you hear someone say 'white tea'?

My favorite Jasmine is Yin Hao, and the one I drink the most. I'll dip into Ti Kuan Yin for some Oolong sometimes. I generally prefer the floral perfumey teas, so I don't do Earl Grey or English Breakfast much.

Speaking of redundancy, it's a pet peeve of mine when people say "chai tea."  Chai is tea.  Chai means tea.
