Perhaps I'll have to order some, although I am REALLY enjoying this Japanese purveyor's Ceylon Uva. It may be the best Ceylon I've tried.

Re: Bombay Sapphire... Do you drink it with tonic?
|
No. I use a tall 8oz glass, half filled with ice cubes, and fill the glass to 3/4 with the Bombay Sapphire. After giving a quick stir, it's just the right setting for me.

I want to try matcha one day.

The high quality matcha that is used for the formal Tea Ceremony, the Cha-No-Yu is a very bitter tea (to me.) But this stuff, and the matcha that is used for ice cream here, is a very mild tea but still with some nice flavor. When I first came to the Orient I had a beautiful tea bowl, a bamboo whisk, and a nice pot. I used to put some Koto music on the player ,sit in the middle of my floor and do 'my version' of the tea ceremony. Then I discovered that I really did prefer black tea and at that to just chug it down like a beer. Good stuff.... ARgggggg!
