So, I brought some nice loose leaf teas to college with me

[TimeChaser]

that I bought over Thanksgiving break. How long until I get busted for "drugs." That peppermint looks mighty suspicious :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. What kind? From where?

Do tell!!!

Rabrrrrrr <-- big tea fan!

3. Let's see

I have some Japanese Sencha from Fortunes, 4 oz of peppermint (which smells wonderful!) from a local spice store that I can either mix with other teas or use alone, and some Longjing Cha green tea from a brand I cannot read because I don't read Chinese.

4. Here is a tea link for you Rabrrr

www.BARNESandWatson.com

I am especially fond of their "Tahitian Blend". I discovered this nectar of the gods at a local restaurant. I pressed them for the source of that and they turned me onto this link. Barnes and Watson will ship their teas to you.
I hope you get the chance to sample their wares. My assessments of that Tahitian blend are not exaggerated. That tea is incomparable.

10. Thanks for the link!

I get most of my tea either in Kyoto at the most amazing green tea store ever, or from TenRen tea (http://www.tenren.com) which has the most amazing Taiwanese teas you will find anywhere, even in Taiwan (since it's a Taiwan company), though I also have some really good stuff from some tea store in the Mall of America.

2. I do hope you know better

than to store them in unlabeled Glad bags.
:rofl:

5. My mom gave me a baggie of baking soda

For brushing my teeth (she thought they were too yellow).

Anyway, I am driving back to college with the baggie on top of an open overnight bag on the seat next to me.

About an hour into the trip I look over and realize if I get pulled over I am going to jail until the stuff finally gets tested. I closed my bag.

6. The type that looks like little buds of weed?

7. I was going to bring my mom some oregano

home from Greece, since I know that she likes real Greek oregano, but then I realized it wasn't such a great idea since they sell it in regular zip-lock bags with hand-written labels and I was flying back through Amsterdam.

"It says 'oregano'! Honest! Can't you read Greek!?"

8. Ask rather how long it'll be...

...before your roommate tries to smoke them.

9. my husband loves a local veg. rest. that offered a lot of teas -

when I looked at all the containers and some he brought home, it was very hard not to picture bags of other types of herb. ;)
