I followed your procedure and everything turned out great!!! Thanks

Hello- Goldfish Tea serves a Keemun as their house ice black tea.

Hello- While Goldfish Tea in Royal Oak, MI will serve any tea iced, they keep a batch of gunpowder green made up for that purpose. I forget which black tea they use.

Hello- I live north of Dearborn, in a suburb with a large Chaldean population. One of my favorite places to shop is the local Chaldean Market!

Hello- My favorite tea room is Goldfish Tea in Royal Oak, Michigan. They are an authentic Chinese-style tea house.

Hello- I recently had some exceptional-read "wonderfully strong"-tea at a Chaldean restaurant. I would consider that Iraqi. Hassouni, you are the expert in this, so I would like your opinion: Is Chaldean tea, in fact, Iraqi tea?

Hello- I share this curiosity. I think there may be enough new eG members to make this topic relevant.

Hello- I agree with your opinions and reasoning. I think, though, it is like not including a New-World recipe in a listing of great tomato, or chocolate recipes; or not including Cuba, Honduras, and Nicaragua in the list of great tobacco-producing nations.

Hello- Is anyone, other than me, surprised that China and Japan were not on the list? As a student of the world's tea traditions, my favorites are: China, India, Russia. Comments?

Hello- The teahouse I frequent serves a gunpowder-style tea as their standard iced green tea.

Hello- I am also a big fan of hibiscus tea. And, I was wondering if you saw this: http://www.lafujimama.com/2010/09/homemade-mugicha-japanese-roasted-barley-tea/

Hello- Thank you so much. I was interested in establishing that trans-fats are indeed the same as partially hydrogenated fats. And I think you have done that. Thanks again!

Hello- I thought these sites might add some scientific weight to our discussion of trans-fats: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/trans-fat/art-20046114 and this one http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/FatsAndOils/Fats101/Trans-Fats_UCM_301120_Article.jsp

Hello-This is all very interesting. I think there is a Percent Daily Value issue too. An egg , according to the info an the carton, contains 70% of your daily Cholesterol requirement. Yet, in my opinion, many omelets contain more than one egg per serving. Comments?

Hello- Lisa Shock, your "elephant in the room" is very interesting. I agree that this is a major part of the problem. Do you see a solution?

Hello- This, I believe, is the point! Technically, according to the carton, one egg is a serving. If most people eat 2 or 3 eggs at a time, will 2 eggs become a serving? This article seems to say we are heading in that direction.

Hello- I hope this is the right place for this discussion. The FDA is revising the nutritional labels on foods. See here http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-blog/serving-size-on-food-labels/bgp-20094132 What do you think about this?

Hello- I thought this thread related well to the "trend or life style" discussion.

Hello-Does the term "simmer" imply a "rolling boil"? I have seen places that offer a masala chai made with green tea. In my opinion, (if the terms are synonymous) the high temperatures needed for good chai would destroy the delicate flavors of a good green tea. ...comments?

Hello- Tea is also a way of life for me. I find that the Chinese tea ritual mentioned above has always touched something deep within me. I will not demean the tradition by calling my practice "Gongfu" because I have not spent a life-time practicing it. But, I do prepare tea in a similar manner-I do use a gongfu tea set. Also, I wanted to share a link to a much shorter webpage that reflects my interest in the connections between the Chinese tea tradition and Chinese Philosophy/Religion: http://www.apotoftea.com/philosophy.html

Hello- Dave Asprey, founder and CEO of The Bulletproof Executive, originated the term "bulletproof coffee". This became known as "butter coffee". This is the original source and recipe: http://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/

Hello- I know its a very long piece, but this is interesting reading on the subject of tea as a way of life: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/tea.htm

Hello- A friend, who is in a position to know such things, claims that an acceptable chai can be made with sugar, milk, tea, cardamom, and cinnamon. Comments?

Hello-Recently, I've been revisiting some old tea "friends". I have been brewing wu yi yan cha and an ji in my gaiwan. Drinking them this way has made me appreciate them even more. Also, today, I had a peony white for the first time. It was wonderful.

Hello- Like you, I like the Alwazah FBOP1. However, lately, I have been drinking a lot of the Ceylon tea packaged by Ahmad Tea Ltd.Have you tried it? I am really enjoying it!
