That reminds me, I need to have a videos page set up 'round here (gotta plan ahead). Maybe it's time that I get on that.

[Update: there is now a Videos page.]

]]> pick that tea, you monkeys! http://www.dropcase.com/pick-that-tea-you-monkeys 2008-01-09T16:51:21-05:00 2008-01-09T16:51:21-05:00 dave I like tea.

There's something about it that just makes me come back for more (no, not just the caffeine). Teacup and filterWhile reading ThinkGeek's newsletter earlier today, I found Monkey Picked Tea for sale. Yes, it was covered by Digg about four months ago, but it got me thinking about how many options there are for tea... and that you can get tea (not cheaply) that's picked by a monkey.

My favorite (right now) is probably still Earl Grey for hot tea, and I haven't picked something for an iced tea. I usually just use whatever I can find, which has ranged from good to flavored sawdust (I didn't realize how old it was before I used it). Any suggestions? I'm looking to make the transition from bags to loose tea, and any links or info would be great to have.

The other option would be to grow my own tea, but I think that's going to have to wait for now, at least until I'm in a house (or have a window that our cat can't poach from).
