I love tea. I have to cut back my tea intake, I drink waaaayyyy too much tea.

It can cause kidney stones. :/ Especially if you drink rich black teas. If you're more into green tea and lighter herbals, not so much, but they can still be very dehydrating. Which sucks of course, because tea is worlds better than coffee, imo.

I've got a 5 cup a day habit, but i mix it up with tisanes (technical name for herbal tea)

and yea, sometimes I mix the loose tisanes with black tea.

I'm in it for the theanine. I'm trying to find the strongest possible theanine content because I feel like it might induce a zombie-like trance state in which I no longer care about the skyrocketing costs of my company's health care plans.

I fucking love chai. even the frothy shit you  get at coffee chains that's made with powder.

I have a coffee machine which I make all my chai lattes with.  The Tassimo/Twinnings stuff is pretty nice, actually.  Smooth and fragrant.

I have European Union policy papers for that.  Cheaper, too.

I tend to brew it like a average black tea and add a teeny bit of milk so it looks like coffee. With sugar.

Traditional chai making methods just seems like arseache.

I like chai lattes, but one has enough calories to count as a full meal.

Drinking black tea reduces the risk of kidney stones in women. http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=711282

The myth that tea contributes to kidney stone formation is based solely on its oxalic acid content, not on research into the effects of consumption. Even if the oxalic acid content was a concern, adding milk helps the body process it.

Luckily I'm not prone to kidney stones anyway, though.

So, my son has apparently come up as a match for bone marrow for a very sick 19 year old girl in Canada.  So he's going to DC in February, to endure the glory that is a marrow tap (agonizing, and the drugs make you ill).  For some kid he doesn't even know.

I'm pretty fucking proud of him right now.

So is the USMC, apparently.  They'll be giving him 3 weeks convalescent leave in February, a month before he goes to Okinawa.  So I'll have him back for more time than I expected.
