So we did this podcast over a nice cup of tea on a train when returning to Warsaw from Lublin.  The actual tea was fucking gross to say the least, however the insightful conversation made the whole cup worth having. 

On the road in Lublin Poland, and in the aftermath of the toilet overflowing the hotel provided us some free room service so we decided to bust another episode.  We got deep into stories of mind altering substances such as nutmeg and over-brewed tea. 

In this episode of the Teatanic Podcast we set out to discuss the importance of Water, when suddenly our hotel toilet overflowed and fucked up the show!

On the road in Lublin Poland, hosts Woj Ryan enjoyed an awe inspiring cup of Twinings lady grey and confess their life struggles. 

In this episode of the Teatanic podcast, we traveled to Lublin Poland where we purchased a new tea pot, some disgusting Scottish tea, and got into some deep conversation on the topic of gay rights. 

Today, we're slamming some Earl Grey #69 with tea and lemon!

It's like a god damn spring on your palate!

Tonight we're slamming some Japan Houjicha. It's green tea but it's brown, old and smoky. Ryan doesn't like it all that much...

Is it Russian? Is it French? Sometimes you're just too busy to care. A quick one-on-one with the working man's Earl Grey.

In a nutshell: it rocks!

In a recent trip to Ukraine, Wojtek hooked up a phat stash of herbs to drink back home in Poland. His peers in Ukraine claim that the tea has magical healing abilities and that the natural concoction should be consumed regularly. However, the tea’s power for wellness apparently does not work abroad as it brought out the worst in our Teatanic hosts, provoking a slues of stereotyping and overly PC crabbiness.

Darjeeling is a town in the Indian state of West Bengal and is noted for its tea industry. We slammed some of their shit in this episode and found out that its well known for good reason! Brew it, slam it and subscribe!

Following Ryan's claim that water boiled on a wood-burning stove is better for steeping tea than water boiled using gas or electricity, he decided to put his money where his mouth by steeping a phat brew on a wood burning stove!  Is water better if boiled on a wood-burning stove? Are traditional kettles the solution?  Are gas stoves good for boiling water?  listen to find out! 

With Wojtek being out of town and not wanting to come across all snobby (which he is) in front of his work colleagues, the Teatanic gang has to resort to the extremes: bagged Lipton Yellow Label. How will that blue collar staple resonate with Teatanic? Listen to find out...

In todays episode of the Teatanic podcast, we review TeaGshwender’s famous Rooibush Amarettini Loose Leaf Tea. Featuring Ingredients: Rooibush tea from Africa, almond bits and flavor, TeaGshwender describes the tea best as a delightfully sweet blend inspired by almond-rich Italian Amaretti macaroons.  Ryan loved the entire experience, where as Wojtek thought it was nasty and covered in oil. 

In todays episode of the Teatanic podcast, we review TeaGshwender’s famous Assam teas; Assam CTC BOP1 Jamguri Second flush and Assam Boisahabi Malty Second Flush TGBOP.   Jamguri is know as the robust smaller cut leaf, with a chocolate color and granular shape. On the other hand, Assam Boisahabi is a red and biscuity color cup, rich with all the right notes of toffee and earthy tobacco. Are the two teas really unique or is the whole thing a marketing scam?  Brew up a cup and join show hosts  Wojtek and Ryan for the heated in debate and shocking revelations!  Google+
