what is the tea equivalent to espresso?
There really isn't. If you brew tea too strong, the tannins make the taste too astringent and unpleasant.
Lapsang souchong has a dark, smoky flavor which is kinda sorta espresso-y.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But they can't just leave the vanilla out? I'm so confused.
Then it's pretty much tea with milk. Which? Nice, but not worth going to Coffee Bean for. The vanilla powder is where the crack lives.

Because books.
Lapsang souchong always tastes like drinking barbecue to me. But Garv used it in a marinade for chicken one night and it was really good.

I've been reading Apartment Therapy a lot lately. Which is bad because it makes me want to spend a lot. Anyway, I am sick in love with this furniture. [link]

My guess is that we'll get Serbia and England will get Germany.
Which would you rather the US got? I've watched neither Serbia nor Germany this tournament, but my guess is that either one is going to be very hard for England to beat.

I don't understand this latte powder nonsense. I mean--is it milk powder? Why is it vanilla flavored? WTF does it have to do with a latte?? I give up. (i am, however, happy that my iPhone knows to capitalize WTF)

I'm a bit more nervous about Germany, but there aren't going to be any easy games at this point.

Coffee Bean tea lattes are all vanilla lattes. They have vanilla powder in them. And milk. And foam. Your average unvanilla tea latte tastes a lot like really milky tea. That's what sets Coffee Bean's lattes apart from the rest.
I don't get how that's confusing.

Which would you rather the US got?
I was reading in the paper this morning that the US has never beaten Germany, so I'm wary of them. Not that I know all that much about football. Well, if it's not the US-ian sport.
