Originally posted by Duke of BrabantHm, I am not sure if I've ever tried non-tea-bag Earl Grey. The Earl Grey in tea-bags is so gross that it would never have occurred to me to buy it in any form. And my parents (who always make their tea from leaves) don't drink Earl Grey either. If I can have good unperfumed teas, why bother with nasty perfumed ones? (I make exceptions - occasionally I buy tea with stuff like cinnamon, vanilla or caramel.)
Have you tried making it from tea leafs instead of tea bags... Huge difference. And you get to touch herbs :-).
What about tea with book taste?

Bookshops and music shops are the only ones that interest me. Even then I don't like to hang around in them for long. I rarely even buy books from book shops, just browse around, note the titles and order them later online.
Any other type of shopping I hate. Just go in, get what I want and leave. Supermarket shopping is especially tedious because I hate it when it is busy. I go up and down the isles quickly and get impatient when other people get in the way. I prefer to go around 2am at the 24 hour stores for this very reason, but unfortunately there is less stock on the shelves then. 😕
I suppose it isn't the shopping itself, it is other people.

Originally posted by lauseyYes, the people are worst. The shopping mall on a Saturday is hell. Luckily my local supermarket, which is where I do most of my shopping, is rarely crowded. But even with few people, shops be quite overloading - too much visual input, smells, sometimes flickering lights, sometimes awful music (luckily they don't have that at the supermarket!), sometimes some high-pitch buzz (that makes electronics shops quite unbearable)...

I always enjoy the little impromptu conversations I have with various people. Unless I'm in a cranky mood.
I really try to avoid going anywhere when I'm in a cranky mood though. I guess that's why I stay home so much 😕

Well I guess when you stay at home as much as I do and your main conversations are with a 2 yr old.......😞
Or maybe I'm just like those crazy street people walking around talking and ranting away to myself and there aren't ever any real people talking back! 😕
