Well she has been missing from Ladies Nite Salon so this could be the reason.

I fear @verity might have been taken by the snails! (I have no clue about the caffeine question but the boys seem to have given her a reasonably good answer.) Then again, who wrote this post? Did the snails make her write this under duress? Did the snails write this post?

“Who has abducted Verity, the well known tea blogger, and replaced her with a Pod or what have you”

Our tea guy Adam thinks that, while it might work sometimes, it’s really not a repellant. His words, not ours: “slugs leave a mucus trail that also contains pheromones and other compounds. From here, they can follow their own trails or follow other snail trails to find food. Pretty straight-forward. Once coffee gets introduced, you’re really introducing more scent than caffeine and that’s really what ‘repels’ the snails away as they can no longer follow a familiar trail. Caffeine is toxic at a certain point, but you’re better off pouring boiling coffee on them or just using slug/snail killer (or maybe even borax like with ants). Caffeine is relatively stable and, even when refrigerated, should stay in the drink (much like every other tea and coffee drink on the market).”

Or, maybe the slugs would stay away if you gave them something good to drink like some Lapsang. That’s all we’re sayin.

I avoid anything labelled as “fat free”. I want fat! That’s about the only thing that can make me want to pour milk–whole milk–in my tea! Single-origin, single-harvest tea, too.

Ew! Berry flavored “chai”? That doesn’t even sound delicious.

The main reason I’m not keen on herbal infusions being called “tea” is that I get so disappointed when friends offer me “tea” at their house, and it turns out they only have herbal. It’s at those times I wish herbals, were never called tea
As to planting your own; awesome! I have a similar problem though with being up against those wild beasts….

If I ask for a Coca Cola, I don’t want to be given a Pepsi Cola.
If I ask for a soda, both are valid options
