First mega wooo, now I get to have my inbox flooded!
Friendship ended with coffee, now tea is my best friend. No promises but I'll try to post about a different tea each day!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
::: spoiler spoiler :::
I started drinking tea from watching star trek, i got some earl grey from the store and i like it, i like coffee flavour a lot but i prefer teas sensation, its more calm and longer not like a caffeine rush, im gonna try more teas from now on, also iced tea for summer its great
Someone at work asked if I liked tea. I said "yeah obviously, I'm a big t-girl!"
Someone also should "I'm a dog person" and I said, "oh cool my girlfriend is a cat-person"
::: spoiler cw: spider oh my, there's a spider the size of my thumb(nordics so that's a massive spider) just chilling outside the door. I accidentally brushed a fly off and the poor bastard landed right smack in the middle of the web.
am....am i her mother now? :::
i'm experimenting with growing some tea seeds. i think they'll survive the british winter in an unheated greenhouse, i've just got to wait for them to hopefully germinate
there's a tea plantation in cornwall i know, so the concept works. i'm not expecting to ever get a meaningful amount of tea from this - i think i remember reading you need like 30 plants to get 100g of dried tea - but it should be fun
I'm too much of a scrub. I love bubble tea. Specifically matcha and taro flavours.
You know what this means.
... uh .... no?
Actually I'll be honest I don't either any more.
i've been stewarding a weekly march lately and the nice older asian lady who coordinates us introduced me to her friend and invited me for tea this week. she keeps referring to me as a lady and she/her'ing me and, despite me generally preferring "person" and "they/them", it's just nice - it feels genuine. it does make me question a little whether i might be closer to binary trans and still have some brainworms to work on.
sadly i declined tea bc the place she had in mind doesn't have plant milks and i struggle being out of the house for too long and was getting close to my limit. but hopefully next time :)
i love tea. well except rooibos, but otherwise i love em. currently i have some vanilla black tea and cinnamon black tea, i had a bag of berry black tea but i drank it all. I also have some hibiscus, but i need to restock soon.
the store that i order from is doing a summer vacation i really like them though, they always send a nice postcard with the tea and it makes me feel nice
i had a friend bring back some rooibos from south africa, and i had to smile and pretend i liked it. though that was like 15 years ago, maybe my tastebuds have changed
Roubois makes a great iced tea with some freshly squeezed orange juice if you ever want to give it another try.
yea but is it really tea if you put in orange juice, i ask you this?
thanks for the recommendation, i could give it another shot
Oh hey, new mega
I'm excited for the teaposting!! I love tea, and dont drink it enough. I really like lapsang suchong. And green tea. Just simple green tea. Theres a really nice tea shop near me I should go to. They have hundreds of teas.
UP WITH TRANS
TRANS UP!
UP WITH TRANS
Holy shit, it's a T4Tea mega
I became a tea girl around the same time I started blocking my T. Coincidence? 🤔
Green tea extract blocks DHT5! ...but also contains a fuckload of caffeine and can potentially cause cardiovascular issues if you're taking enough of it to work as a T-blocker
...I wish I had known back then that you can just, like, buy bica and/or spiro on the interwebs. Don't try to do herbal HRT, kids.
;w;
Woah great job! I was gonna send you the mega template but it looks like you got it all.
thank you! i just took it from previous posts, let me know if it needs any tweaks!
