Tea and Tea Accessories

Okay... many of you know I'm crazy and maybe a little "special" sometimes. What I just did can attest to that fact. After sleeping with a hot Italian guy a few hours ago, I came home and had a lot more time to waste. So, to procrastinate a little more, since I hate studying and everything, I did something completely stupid: I just spent a $100 on tea and tea accessories; one of my many secret and most retarded obsessions (ummm... I meant "special"). Specifically, I just bought a pound of loose leaf Earl Grey Supreme tea from Harney & Sons and many unnecessary accessories.


For all those who don't know the history behind Earl Grey tea, here it is: The myth goes that Earl Grey was a blend of tea given to the British Prime Minister, Earl Grey, as a gift from a man from China. Now what makes Earl Grey tea so special is the inclusion of precious natural oil of bergamot, which give it its hint of citrus flavor. That's why you ONLY ADD LEMON. If you're stupid, you can add sugar and milk or something equally retarded (I meant "special").



Considering the fact that I don't have a tea pot, I just spent a little under $60 for the Naoko tea pot (pictured on the left) from Bodum, which was originally designed by Carsten Jorgenson, who was inspired by the Genie lamp. Of course, everyone also knows I'm cheap and poor since I'm a college student, so that's why I've waited so long. This is officially my first tea pot. I'm so excited since I've had an eye on this tea pot for the longest time.



Of course, since I was spending a butt load of money (hehe... I just wrote butt) on a damn tea pot and a butt load (hehe... I just did it again) of loose leaf tea, I had to buy these awesome tea cups (pictured on the right) from Harney & Sons. Someone please help me stop shopping!



I don't even know why I love tea so much (insert Asian joke here). Now I can be poor while drinking my tea and reviewing the porn that everyone keeps giving me. Well, I guess I can now be a polite host and serve tea to Jeremy Hall when he gives me the first exclusive interview that I will be posting in this blog very soon. Stay tuned...
