And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine


Good morning, world! Happy Friday, everyone! Sun's up... it seems to be working correctly. I'm drinking a lovely mug of Taylors of Harrogate's English Breakfast tea and breaking my fast with a bowl of miso soup, rice, and tsukemono. It seemed to be the way to get the morning off to a good start!

Absolutely.

Placed another order on NBTea.
They sent me 10% off voucher if I spend £25+, on top of that the last days of my American Express 5% cash back, so...I succumbed to the temptation.
Always give into temptation. It may not come your way again.

I have ordered most of their oolong samples, all Chinese that is. A few experimental black teas from India, a few tea from Georgia, a few white and in order to reach £25, a pack of Dragon Well.
Looks like an interesting assortment. I'll be interested to hear your comments about them.

Btw., Stitchawl, apparently I was right about Georgian teas.
I bet your Old Gentleman's code starts with W.
Both, Georgian Caravan & Natala's Gold Standard Tea start with W, which stands for White teas, and second letter stands for origin of the tea, G.
I guess it is a mistake that they placed them in black teas.
Quite right! They both have WG as the start of their ID numbers. I did enjoy that Georgian Caravan tea. I wonder if now that I know it's not a black tea, will I still enjoy it?

Beppe... be nice to Astra. He's working very hard to make the tea merchants rich, which in a Capitalist society is a responsible behavior.
We could all take a lesson here; spend! spend! spend!

In that spirit, I think I will explore another shop in Kyoto that a friend told me about. He says they have imported teas. I hope he doesn't mean Lipton. Only Phenomshel can drink Lipton, and we KNOW what that means, don't we.....
