Random DIY mixing and More

Oh, sorry. Just use any black tea recipe and use green at 3% (FA Black Tea strong).

I like
3% green or white tea
1-1.5% FA Pear (or peach, white peach or any light fruit you like)
or
3% green or white tea
1% FA Fresh cream (or .5% FA Fresh Cream + .5% Vienna Cream)
(I'm going to experiment with FA Milk here)
or
3% green or white tea
.5-1% menthol or mint or combination
or
3% green or white tea
+ a touch of FA honey (toothpick method) or .05 percent

3% must be for TPA Green Tea and for FW White Tea ???

I tried FE Green Tea at 1% and at that percent it is more grassy. I did another mix at 0.8% and still get an excellent green tea. IMO 0.6% - 0.8% is the sweet spot for FE Green Tea. 0.3% - 0.6% for a nice, but lighter, green tea.

I mixed up some SSA green tea the other day. Have yet to try it.

Good morning, Stranger Been watching sports?

No sports other than the Packers game Sunday night. It's been warmer than normal here so we've been out and about in nature playing and having fun. Pretty tuckered out by the time Carli dog and I got home the last couple days.

Oh the coffee base is a VT flavor, I didn't realize that. I missed that somewhere.
Darn you Fran, I need another coffee now.
What's it like though? Dark plain coffee?

Yes, I would say that's what it would be if mixed solo. It's good with the VT Caffe Latte and I would recommend getting that too. I was actually surprised at how coffee forward this recipe is.

Hey @ShowMeTwice, my baseball team just beat your baseball team. Again.

I told ya not to give up on your Cards! Didn't watch the game. What is that, 17 or 18 wins in a row. Must be some kind of record.

I have two horses in this race, my team and my LA Dodgers. I have a gut feeling which one will end up where. But who knows... that's why they play the games.

I'll be happy for which ever team wins the World Serious.

I somehow assumed @Katya was talking about the FE Green but I guess I better ask.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

Morning Fran. I have a few things to get done this morning, then I am heading out of town around 11 or 12.

You?

Interested in what you think of the SSA.

My plans include a little house stuff and working on recipes.

How long will you be away?

Good morning. I evidently didn't get the fill plug in place completely on my UB Pro tank last night and when I picked the mod up this morning it was drenched in liquid. I know better but must have been too tired when I filled it last night to pay attention and double check the plug.

I'm sorry for your loss. Of liquid, and the mess...

Well tomorrow is a day game, so we probably should get home sometime in the evening. Or we might decide to stay another night and drive home Friday morning.

Using the TFA Green or the FE?

I checked the extensive tea notes @Katya kindly gave me some time back and 3% is for TFA green tea (or FW White Tea).

"If you like white or green tea (my favorites because they are more delicate), try them with creams and fruit and honey (at 3% tea), but don't use FA Green Tea--it's really nasty. I like and recommend TFA Green Tea."

She doesn't have the FE yet (was ordering it, IIRC). As little as 0.3% FE green tea is very noticeable in a mix with a light fruit like pear or apricot. Or with 0.3% - 0.5% white peach. I like FE between 0.6% - 0.8%. Over that it gets grassy tasting and loses the delicate nature of what a green tea is supposed to taste like.

OK, ty I forgot she didn't get the FE yet.

FWIW here is ExclusiveGirl's PSA on the green tea flavors.

PSA:
TFA Green Tea tastes like green tea with a little fresh-cut grass added to it.

FA Green Tea tastes like green tea with a little fresh-cut AZZ added to it.

FE Green Tea tastes like high-quality fresh brewed matcha green tea with nothing added to it and nothing taken away from it. This flavor cannot be subbed for any of the other lesser flavors.
