Pssh, real tea drinkers drink black tea, preferably an English Breakfast blend or perhaps some Darjeeling

Well, Pu Erh is a fermented black tea.  As for English Breakfast, meh.  Give me Assam or Irish Breakfast tea instead.  Brits do weird things with their teas like adding flowers, herbs, and/or spices.

Darjeeling can be good though, it's just hard to find the good stuff.

Yep, Irish Breakfast is my go to. Wedge of lime and a squeeze of lemon and it's beautiful.

When did this become the tea thread?

But staying on topic, I prefer lapsang souchong, but......why does nobody likes earl grey?

And I do have some pu-erh discs with me, my parents like them......

Well, tea & sympathy is oldest therapy there is.  (besides a h@nd j0b, i guess.)

Earl Grey is just not pleasant tasting to me.  That and when I find it, it's typically the Lady Grey variety with lavender.  I'm allergic to lavender, so it makes my mouth go tingly and numb and swell up a little.

Ah Irish Breakfast is amazing, unfortunately not easily available here Nice to see fellow Tea drinkers on GH

edit: Had no idea Pu Erh was black tea from the name assumed it was white or green. We get some great Darjeeling here though, I got some really nice 2nd flush as a gift recently.

I really like early grey! Tried lapsang souchong for the first time recently, quite nice.

I'm a huge Oolong fan...and milk tea

I'm a huge Oolong fan...and milk tea

Well,  bubble tea is the ultimate way to go if you like tea.



For a healthy caffeine kick, I like Japanese Macha tea:



Also Chamomille tea is nice for later in the day, and after dinner. 

But, TBH, in the morning I gots to haves my coffee.  If I could afford it, I would drink nothing but Jamaican Blue Mountain. 



Right now, I've been drinking my own proprietary mix of Hawaiian Kona, Kenya AA, and Guatemalan highlands SHB.  The Kona and Kenya AA add big bold flavor, while the Guatemalan tempers it with some bright acidity.  It's a nice blend.

And some Clacks.

Milk tea =/= Bubble Tea . And that coffee blend sounds awesome.

[tjcaustin]

So how many total were able to get EDD dibs?  From this thread I remember Beca, CPTBadAss, and myself.  Any others?

I was lucky enough to get in as well . Will be my first Clack. So excited!

I'll never tell.

F2 are the ones with slightly different colour and have a hold drilled in the back right? So, why is it so popular.

[HipsterPunks]

I believe because its usually the lowest costing red clack. Its shade is also a really cool dark red, lighter than crimson, but darker than revenge.

[epzy]

F2's sells for 'only' ~$100 and they are unique because of their colors.

Man, I remember when F2's used to sell for $50-60 even less than a year ago. I think it was just one specific sale that proved people were willing to pay much more and has since negatively impacted the F2 aftermarket.

Now this intrigue my curiosity on F2 Red. Just trying to keep my collection around the orange, yellow, red shades are going to cost me a fortune. I can't imagine collecting more shades!

But $100 for a factory second! Imagine that!

Well, I have a few Clacks in my collection, as some of you may know.  And I feel safe to say that F2's are sometimes more desirable than "regular" skulls.  There are some really interesting colors in F2's, but it all depends on the particular F2.  Be careful in buying them, because most are pretty boring.  But there are a few F2's floating around out that that are really cool, which are the ones I think are the most collectible.  I have an F2 Red that is super dark red, there is no "regular" red like it.  It's one of my favorite Clacks, and it's a unique Clack.  I also have an F2 Skullsicle, which AFAIK, is more rare than a regular Skullsicle.  So my advice to you novice collectors is buy any F2's if you can.  As for price, I dunno.  Prejudice has kept the price down on F2's up 'till now.  Maybe others are waking up to the awesomeness of F2's.  Well, all I can tell you is that if you love Clacks, then you should really love the "mistakes", because some of those are unintentionally awesome.  Which is even cooler than trying to be awesome, for some reason.  I hope I am making sense to you.  Anyway that's my opinion.  If you don't like F2's, that's even better for me, so I'm not trying to convince you.  I'm just preaching to the choir.  Which is probably just Dennis, Pete and Dustin.

Perfect sense. The F2 made the skulls unique from others and which respectable collector don't like uniqueness?

I just find it amusing that there are only 4 active collectors in GH.. shouldn't there be more? Aren't you forgetting Bunny Lake?

There are so many Clack collectors on GH.  There are too many to name.  They're all great.  I didn't mean to offend anybody, I was just trying to name three people who care what I have to say, to show that my opinions are respected by at least three people.  I guess there might be a few others too.  Who knows?   

As for F2's, yes, they are undervalued.  Or were undervalued.  People think of them as "factory seconds", or defects.  Which they are not.

[Belfong]

eth0s, I don't need to be Dennis, Pete or Dustin to respect your opinion. You are already highly regarded as one of the authority in Clack collections here!

As for your taste on sexy cowboy.. Hmm.. That's debatable LOL!

[t2russo]

I love my F2s and I know I would go broke if there was an F2 Black MX.  Either they don't exist or they are unicorn rare, both ways let me sleep at night.

[naasfu]

Yeah, F2s are great quality, and I just consider them to be as good as any other colored skull Clack.  I think CC just has really high standards.   The red is a nice dark crimsonish red as Hipster mentioned.  I've had three F2 Reds so far, and unfortunately they were all mostly the same shade of red.  I'm still looking for those cool aberrations that eth0s has mentioned.
