10.16.15 | I'm on my 4th cup of green tea this night, also had 3 lady greys before that.
wait scream aren't you from aussie as well? |
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | Damn man that's beyond my tea drinking levels. Most I've had in a day is 3 or 4. What is Lady Grey? Similar to Earl Grey?
And nah, I'm from Canada |
Archelirion
10.16.15 | I've got a lovely pot of lavender-infused Earl Grey sat next to me and I'm currently jamming [The] Slowest Runner [In The World] if that counts for anything.
But tea is a universal thing that compliments everything. It's more about the type of tea. |

10.16.15 | all genres
currently sipping Nepalese second flush Darjeeling |

10.16.15 | Psht, I'm American. I don't drink tea unless it's an equal ratio of sugar to water with brown food coloring in it.
Oh wait, I don't live in the south.
I'm on my 3rd Green tea of the day. I like drinking tea and listening to ambient or post-rock. |
treeqt.
10.16.15 | oh yeah currently listening to noisy free improvisation |
Archelirion
10.16.15 | tree you are so patrician it hurts. Great choice of tea btw. |

10.16.15 | "currently sipping Nepalese second flush Darjeeling "
Reminds me of that one time I walked into a tea store and all the tea names were either Chinese, Japanese or Indian and I had no idea what was what so I got a sampler pack and gtfo of there. Sampler was pretty good although the green tea tasted to "grassy" for my liking. |
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | Good call, meant to include post-rock on here |
Piglet
10.16.15 | Nah yeah see I've just got my kettle right at my feet so i just run it til it's empty and then refill when i need to take a bathroom break. it's productive. lady grey is so good, yeah it's got that same bergamot orange taste but is a bit more delicate or floral idk you should have it if you like earl. |
treeqt.
10.16.15 | stick to chinese green tea then |
Piglet
10.16.15 | Also props to the guy drinking second flush darjeeling |
Ashen
10.16.15 | currently sipping chrysanthemum tea from china and it's wonderful |
Archelirion
10.16.15 | I'd say Lady Grey is slightly more citrus-y than Earl Grey - that'd be the main difference between the two. Wish I had some Lapsang in at the moment, the kvltest tea. |
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | "stick to chinese green tea then"
Noted. The one I tried was Japanese I think, very dark green as well.
Will be on the lookout for some lady grey next time I'm shopping |
Piglet
10.16.15 | lapsang is the kvltest that is trve. love that shit. |
Piglet
10.16.15 | Get lapsang scream, don't ask just get it. you'll be very confused as to how they managed to put a campfire in tea leaves. |
TheSpirit
10.16.15 | post-blackgaze? |
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | Smoked tea sounds interesting for sure. I'd never even heard of it until now so I'll keep a lookout and see if I can find some around here.
@Spirit Post Black, Blackgaze. Didn't feel like making two entries |

treeqt.
10.16.15 | unless it was matcha i can't think of any japanese green tea that would be dark green if prepared correctly
if you still got any left try steeping for 30 seconds to a minute, it should taste significantly better (although still grassy)
|
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | @treetq don't have any left but I kept the little containers from the sampler so I could remember what I tried. Says Kabusecha Jikagise (Green-Japan) if that means anything to you haha |
treeqt.
10.16.15 | if you get lapsang be aware that you'll have the whole room smell like that campfire as soon as you expose the leaves to air |
CamiloG
10.16.15 | Chill-out and Lounge always make up for a nice sip of tea. |
treeqt.
10.16.15 | weird that a sampler would have kabusecha but i haven't tasted that particular one so it might be warranted idk

hal1ax
10.16.15 | I've never even had white tea. should i get on that or na |
SCREAM!
10.16.15 | The few I've tried I've enjoyed. Very light and sort of herby/floral i guess (I'm terrible at this sort of description). You might as well check try some out for yourself if you generally enjoy tea. |
Rik VII
10.16.15 | agreed with blackgaze. Les Discrets is the ultimate tea music for me. |
hal1ax
10.16.15 | ya i know. i mainly just drink black tea's. i can dig on some floral flavs for sure though. ill check some out |
treeqt.
10.16.15 | white tea is very different to black tea so make sure to try something cheap first

SCREAM!
10.16.15 | What I'd do is just go into your nearest tea store and try a cup of it there. If they have different kinds you can ask whoever's working for their thoughts on them. If you don't like it, you lose whatever a cup of tea cost |

10.16.15 | essentially i said im drinking indian tea and listening to hindustani music |
JokineAugustus
10.16.15 | I prefer coffee to tea, specifically well made Americano's. Tea can be very good too |

SCREAM!

MyNameIsPencil
10.27.15 | did u make up the first 2 |
SCREAM!
10.27.15 | First one is a legit genre. Essentially it's super campy ambient music with a medieval atmosphere that often sounds like it was recorded on a toy keyboard (it's a little ridiculous but I love the ridiculousness of it)
Second one is just me lumping all the post rock and shoegaze bm that's super popular into a category together |
MyNameIsPencil
10.27.15 | Ohhh okay fair enough lol
Also Coffee is alright, I like it more now than a few years ago but I like it sweet cause I'm a wimp |

10.27.15 | "post black-gaze" - fuck off. |
SCREAM!
10.27.15 | @Pencil Listen to any of the first three Mortiis albums if you want an idea as to what it sounds like. I'm a sucker for fantasy so it clicked with me instantly although it probably isn't for everyone
@Bac sup mann |
