A cup of Assam Harmutty.
Yummy!
Palmiers will follow after that

And the same to you!
Sunday is usually a wonderful day by definition, no early wake up in the morning!

"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.

I think I know what you mean. There is something about Keemun that I wanted to drink it with my morning toasts and still feel the flavour. It was unusual and very pleasant. Others teas were overpowered by food flavour.

Aaaah. For the life of me, I don't understand it.
I cannot relax/enjoy and in general cannot stand when strangers touch me.
I never go for any massages, even when I was on holidays in some resorts where I could get them for free.
I never let hairdressers to wash my hairs. I don't like it when they touch my head and hair. I do only dry haircut.
For some reason I cannot relax and enjoy it. The whole massage culture is alien to me.

If the second cup is as rewarding as the first, this is certainly a tea that I will re-order in a large amount.

I will keep it in mind
I have created a list of teas I think I might want to buy in Fortnum&Mason and East India Company (they have a very long list of Ceylon teas). It was fun creating the list.
I might post it later
