1. How dare you?

[True Dough]

3. I dare non-stop, BOSSHOG!

Actually, I stop and dare. I have a flair for dare. Some say I move like Fred A-dare. The French tell me my dare is necessaire.

2. Anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes...

depending on the sort of tea, the tea ware, and the water temperature.

4. Sounds like

a science experiment at your place, Harker.

7. I've sussed out what I like pretty well.

I'm drinking an eight year old Liu Bao right now.

5. Depends on the type of tea... (green, black, herbal, white, oolong?)

Temperature? Sea level or altitude where I live? Really, though, it does make a difference...

Coffee pour-overs are also a craft if you ask any barista. LOL

13. Like a chicken with his head chopped off, you are running around on nonsense. It was a damned typo.

I'm sure you never have those now, do you? And yes, that is a question and a GD question mark.

15. Be as rude as you wish. Others here have your number as well. i.e., 3 posts in total. Gee, wonder what THAT means.

18. Enjoy your very short time here. You really ought to learn to be a bit more subtle.

Trolling is an art if done well...

[True Dough]

9. Is that same jar

still sitting out there steeping, Kali?

[Niagara]

8. I never time my tea steeping

I drink Earl Gray and Oolong.



My addiction is straight coffee however.

[True Dough]

10. Oh,

so you're an Oolong steeper!

[Niagara]

11. ...

19. A solid five minutes or so, maybe longer - for a single cup.

When I make iced tea I make five cups of water and four tea bags, and steep it for about 20 minutes. Then I fill a 1/2 gallon bottle almost halfway with ice, and pour the tea over that. It's fairly strong but not bitter. I like doing this because I can mix different varieties of tea.

I don't drink coffee. Tea has a history going back millennia, a much more civilized beverage IMHO.

20. You know what the most civilized beverage is, don't you?

Dr. Pepper.
