I like milk with earl grey tea. I don't have milk in most of my tea... it actually negates most of the health benefits. :whistle:

 

I like boba (bubble) tea without milk too.

 

I like to visit the snow, but I'm not sure I could live somewhere that it snows.

I don't know why, but I now have this itch to go try milk in other teas. :laughingsmiley:

 

I don't want to live around snow anymore. :( My whole life has been enough. Time for Hawaii. :yes:

Oh and about the tea .. tea with MILK???? Ewwww.

It's tea with condensed milk to be specific. That's how I define tea with milk/milk tea. :)

And it's nice LoveBee! Hot or Cold! :)

So I absolutely adore Chai Tea!!! It is probably my favorite kind of tea.

 

I haven't tried Bubble Tea yet, though a lot of shops and cafes around my college campus have it so I'll probably need to try it soon. Your descriptions have all made me thirsty for tea though, which is good because it's getting super-cold where I'm at!

Ahahah yea. The pearls don't taste like Tapioca. But they're gooooood.

 

If you want to try Milk Tea... do you have Pokka? It's a brand, and they sell really good bottled milk tea. :yes:

Agreed! I love tea and it's definitely my favorite. Followed by plain black tea.

I looked on their website and apparently Pokka is available in the US, but not the bottle milk tea :(

 

 

@Spritzie, I'm honestly not sure if I've ever just had plain black tea. Is that weird?

In my country we don't drink tea with milk. We don't have Bubble tea or Starbuck or any other coffe/tea shop that I'd know of actually .. I personally love fruit smoothies. We just had two smoothie shops that make awesome smoothies, really.

 

I don't like milk, anyway. Except milk ice cream. It's the best ice cream I've had and it was in Rome (it was actually gelato). They had like 120 flavours .. <3

If you've had regular brewed tea, that's black tea. There's I believe, technically, 3 types of tea. Black (which is the most commonly used), green, and white.

Ah, I always forget that's called black tea. I typically prefer hot tea to iced tea and I really enjoy green tea. Never had white tea, I don't think

I don't like the flavor of green tea, and I've never had white tea. White tea is less common, I guess they can only get the leaves a certain time of year, when the tea leaves have a white fuzz (not mold).

 

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I only know this because I took a tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea factory in Boulder, CO. :laughingsmiley:

Heh-heh, that's super-cool! I've never gotten to tour any factories or anything like that. Even on field trips all we ever did was go to historical places, like town homesteads and things . . .

My sister and I went. (She lives semi-near Boulder.) It's totally free. :D And it's cool, because no matter where in the world/country you see Celestial Seasonings tea, it all comes from Colorado. Everything is done there, from making it, packaging, shipping, storage.

Wow, I may have to check that out next time I'm visiting the family. How far is Boulder from Aurora?

Aurora is on the eastern side of Denver, and Boulder is a town to the north west... so I'd say maybe... a 45 minute drive. (I've never gone from Aurora to Boulder. I live a ways south of Denver.)

Spritzie, I saw the snow in colorodo on the weather channel this morning and it looked like there was already a lot of snow, 5 inches by this morning? Have fun with that. I'll just enjoy my nice sunny and 65 degree weather here :whistle:

:mellow: Don't remind me. I'm trying to forget it's out there. As of this morning, and when I walked to the other building at 9am, there was only snow on the grass and cars, it wasn't sticking to the pavement yet.

 

Hmph. It's currently 30 degrees, with a 10 MPH wind.

Well, if it makes you feel any better it's supposed to be 38 and raining tomorrow night. Oh, silly weather.

I can't wait for snow <3 Just found these two photos of Maribor in winter:

This is taken from Pohorje, directly from the skiing course :) This is where the Golden Fox skiing competitions is every year, if you happen to heard to of it.

 

And this one is taken from Kalvarija, a hill that's more in the center. All way back you can see Pohorje.

 

Ain't it just magical? :wub_anim:

LE GASP! They have that much flavor?

 

I must know the names!

Oh gosh :D I remember only few flavours: milk, nutella, honey, white chocolate, kiwi, red orange (the BEST), champange, chocolate mint and cheesecake. Portions are really big, so we decided (with my classmates) we'll each take a medium portion and then we'll pass it to each other so we'd taste as many as possible. I tasted all of the above except champagne, because I was already too full :) Oooh yummy gelato :icecream:

 

Edit: almost forgot the amazing dark chocolate, chocolate with almonds & coconut (tasted like raffaello <3)

I don't know why but I think some addictions can be positive. Not drugs or anything close to that. For instance, makeup. I'm totally addicted to makeup. It creases and it fades on me but I really don't mind. It's more like playtime for me when I put it on than dressing up and looking all foofoo.

Oh man, I've always wanted to try gelato! Is it sweeter and richer than regular ice cream, like I've been told? Also, can you only get it in Italy?

^ No, I see gelato being sold at the supermarket sometimes.

I actually have a pint of mango gelato in the freezer. It's like, really rich and if I didn't have such a big dinner I'd probably be having some right now.

:woot: Brand names! I need brand names! Lol (I'm super-excited at any small chance to try gelato without leaving the country
