Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing,
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

Still raining so I'm still sitting looking out my back door too... well, actually I'm looking out over the veranda because we only have one door and it's in the front. But that looks over a bamboo forest so it's kinda pretty too so sometimes it gets difficult trying to decide if I should look out the front or look out the back... Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Easy to decide about tea though. Black and hot. Today is China Black to go with my breakfast.

Or switch to tea, which is 1/5 the price of coffee, pound for pound! Of course, then you still need a decent travel mug...

This is the norm here in Japan. Every school kid carries one, but usually in a small size. Even my wife has one that hold just one cup full.

The last cup of NBTea's sample. It looks quite different from Tea House Emporium's Pi Lo Chun "Green Snail Spring". Also it doesn't taste as good.

Except for Georgian Old Gentleman, I don't see how NBT stays in business. That's the only one of their teas that has good flavor.
The Yunnan China Black that I get from
McNultey's Tea and Coffee in NYC really is one of the all time great black teas. It's been a regular of mine for many, many years. I'm beginning to wonder if their China Keemun might just be the same as the unbranded stuff I've been getting at the Chinese Import shop. I think the next time I order from McNultey's I'll include a bag of their Keemun. I've had it before and remember enjoying it, but it's been many years since... Certainly worth a try!
