Fat Teas

I was reading the Vancouver Sun the other day and they had an article that said scientists have discovered that milk may negate the slimming effects of drinking tea.

Boo-hoo. This is a sad day for all those English teas (like Earl Greys & English Breakfast) because those teas definitely SUCK without milk (or copious amounts of sugar, I don't need a degree in nutrition to tell you "sugar" spells "spare tires").

I guess this article comes to no surprise to all those people who love their morning mistos from starbucks because I've tried that drink before and it's like a tenth brewing of a regular cup of Earl Grey plus half the sugar and milk that goes into a slice of cake. Although that might sound like a positive review (coming from me), it's actually not. That tea is a surprising cup of disappointment and poor taste (sorry, misto fans, I have to stay true to my buds... taste-buds). 

Anyway, just thought you all should know my feelings towards certain teas because that's what's important on thursdays (not radioactive rain from Japan, not the strange police database that records wrong info on citizens).

 This is another day to raise my cup of Chinese teas (my mom being awesome that she is, has brought lots of Pu-erh, which looks like "poo" in cake form... see below)

How can I not love this stuff?

Milk also negates the benefits of the antioxidant properties of tea as well, so not only are we getting fat we are becoming walking zombies of free radicals LOL!

That tea thing looks interesting, I want to try some! Bring some over one day if there is any left :)

That really does look like poo... seeing this would definitely make it hard to drink it. You'd have to let me drink it then show me the poo cake.

I will bring you some to try stephene, when my dad is asleep and not guarding it.

Andrew, I will show you it is poo first then let you drink it! Cause that's how it's gonna be.
