When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers.....
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Happy Sunday, everyone! It's a glorious day out today... a bit later than usual for me, but that's OK. After breakfast I think we'll go for a ride. Still snow up in the mountains around Kyoto, but perhaps we'll ride up to the snow line anyway.
Right now, a cup of Keemun tea to start me off, along with some Norwegian crisp bread and humus!

Not 'this' guy! I stopped shaving the day I got discharged from the Military! I've worn a full beard ever since! (I confess it's because I'm just too lazy to shave...)

. When I discovered that 5 minutes with an electric clipper would cut off all my hair, I never wasted another moment combing the stuff! I clip it down to 3mm once every two-three weeks, and at the same time clip my beard down to 15mm. As I got older and began going bald, it took even less time to clip my hair. Now I can completely do my head in less than a minute! And no $30 visits to the barber!

Between all three of them, I prefer Keemun because it is stronger.

I think Tippy Yunnan is a bit more pleasant. Otherwise, not so different from Keemun.
Call me confused.

Dear Confused,
I think all three are really China black teas, and most from the same region. It doesn't surprise me that they taste so similar. I too prefer the stronger taste of the generic keemun tea. While the Yunann Imperial from NBT was very good, my generic keemun does have a stronger flavor that I prefer along with foods... Hmmm.... I guess that last part is important... "along with foods".... Strong tasting foods, such as the garlic crisp bread and humus that I'm eating right now, would overshadow a weaker tea. China Black can stand up to it well though. I doubt the 'Georgian Old Gentelman' would.
But I've now finished that keemun and my breakfast. I think for my second cup it shall be... Ahmad English Breakfast tea! Yes... That should do well!
