Although plenty of the Galaxion crew obsess about their coffee, I happen to be a tea drinker. In recent years with loose-leaf specialty tea stores popping up around my city like, well, like they were Starbucks locations, I am in tea heaven. I have a growing collection of flavours, many of which involve chocolate in some way, but my morning favourite is a cinnamon blend. When I sit down to draw, I bring a cuppa tea to help get me going. Tea and comics. Yum.
But now, as if making sci-fi comics while I drink my tea was not geeky enough, I have (thanks to some recent gifts) leveled up my morning ritual. Behold, this is my new loose-leaf tea strainer:
And here is my fabulous new mug:
Here’s what they look like in action.
Seriously, I don’t think it can get better than this. If you notice the quality of Galaxion starting to improve over the next little while, I think we can confidently narrow down the cause.
If you wake up one morning to find someone has stolen this stuff …. it was me.
Uh-oh. Activate robot defense mode!
What, no sonic screwdriver?
You know, I bet the sonic screwdriver could boil up the water a lot faster than my kettle does!
I prefer a nice cuppa Earl Grey myself. Never could stand the taste of coffee, no matter how much cream and sugar I tried to dilute it with.
I like the smell of coffee, but never got the hang of actually drinking it. I went through an Earl Grey phase… me and every other Star Trek fan, I’m sure. I do still enjoy it from time to time.
Strangely enough, as a Trek fan and tea-inhaler, I never caught the taste for Earl Grey. Chocolate spice, mint green, Rooibos chai, and a few others, yes. But not Earl Grey.
Not sure why.
That is just AWESOME!!!!
Need. If anyone whos where to get the robot then a link would be appreicated
NickPheas, this looks like the one Tara has: http://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Robot-Infuser-Drip-Tray/dp/B005SW8D7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326823613&sr=8-1. Sorry, I’ve never figured out how to turn an ugly link into an elegant one. I’m a bit internet challenged.
I purchased my robot infuser from, of all places, a funky little store inside Grand Central Station in NYC (where I also got this equally awesome robot kitchen timer), but I’ve also seen it online at ThinkGeek. (Where, incidentally, you can also find the TARDIS mug.)
Thanks Tara and Wendy. Should have thought to check Amazon, and they even have it this side of the pond as well.
Those are fantastic!
How do you drink from that mug, though?
