Lots of water and now cuppa #3
Ahmad Hampton Breakfast. Didn't drink this tea for a week or so.
Btw., re: expensive tea.
One year ago I used to finish a good bottle of single malt, £40-60 in 4-6 months.
It lasts for
one! year now
Tea substitutes whisky quite often.
On the other hand. 2 years ago I didn't drink whisky...
Ah, but I did drink some wine and liquor, such as
Amaretto
I concede that tea might be very expensive. I have told the owner of The Chinese Tea Company that I won't be able to afford anything above £20. I didn't want her to spend time on me in hopes that she can get a lucrative customer then to be disappointed for wasted time. She dismissed my worries, though
Some of their more expensive teas, that I would love to try (maybe next lifetime

Phoenix Dan Cong Osmanthus 21.00 – 50grams
Jiu Jiu Jiu Tie Guan Yin Grade A ￡28.00 – 80grams
Dian Hong Golden Buds ￡18.60 – 50grams
Lapsang Souchong Tong Mu ￡16.70 – 40grams [I have been thinking of trying Lapsang Souchong in the office. It has such a powerful flavour, it might overpower bad water and it is a bit cheaper
£2.95]
Keemun ￡15.20 – 50grams
Shi Feng Long Jing (Dragon Well Tea) ￡28.00 – 50g (about
6 times more expensive than the one I got from
NBTea £9.65 and thought it was good)
An Ji Bai Cha ￡17.00 – 50grams
Expensive?

The prices are probably geared towards New Russians mob.
