I wanted something hot to drink the other day, but it was too late for coffee. Lori had some rather light sounding decaffeinated stuff with name like 'Blueberry' and 'Licorice Spice'. I found I rather liked it; but as with most beverages I drink; I tend to down the whole thing too quickly - in the manner one might drink a glass of water on a hot day. That is part of the reason why I drink the darker beers, as it allows for a longer time to drink them as they have more substance. Anyways, back to to the tea. The brand is Stash Tea and they have a startling number of flavours. I am sure that many are drinkable (the 'Licorice Spice'one did not do me any favours but the Blueberry I actually enjoyed).
That was a huge ramble for no good purpose. I started out just to say 'I had a cup of tea' and ended up going on and on and on. Must be the beer talking. And what is the secret to getting a beverage to last more than 3 minutes? Maybe if I drink a couple of large glasses of water prior to the actual beverage I want to drink I won't be as thirsty, but I tend to think that this would just leave me feeling gross. At this precise moment I am drinking a McAuslan St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout and it is spectacular. What a great beer. It is almost as good (in my memory) as the Oatmeal Stout from the Rogue's Roost on SPring Garden Road. And far better than any tea.
I don’t know. That patio restaurant down on the waterfront (30 meters from outtake valve #4) sells a home-brewed stout with coffe/mocha overtones. It didn’t really grab me though, and not because (as might be the assumption given that I live in Sackville) I think the chocolate overtones might turn me gay. After all it’s still a stout. Just in case though, at the time I made sure to proclaim very loudly to my wife (and anyone who happened to be sitting within a timezone of the municipality) that it’ll put hair on your chest etc etc. Besides, I actually enjoyed Maritime Brewery’s blueberry beer – this being just one small step away from wine coolers and Liza Manelli albums.
Guess I’ll have to try this though, if only so I can call you a sissy for liking it….unless of course it’s good. In which case, I heard it puts hair on your chest.

By the way, the headline of your post is very misleading. I thought you were going to talk about making some kick ass tea out of your weed…..
