no cold coffee? Is there a holiday?

I am having a Kusmi Prince Vladimir. Broke down and bought that, too. It is very interesting, like drinking tea with Jamaica Rum.

Cocktail hour finished.

Cold Arabica-coffee.

I usually drink coffee in a small(er) mug, tea in a big mug. I start drinking my tea immediately, when it's still scalding hot. So my tea is what most people would consider drinkable half-way through and lukewarm when I finish. Works for me

But I do have a leather tongue

I just had my first cup of the Green Tea Jasmine pearls, it's absolutely divine. So good that I'm going to make myself another cup immediately. Well, at least as soon as I find the courage to ban the cat from my lap

I'll bet that's a losing battle!

So I am trying the Golden Mushroom Pu-Erh and so far not wowed. It is a nice smooth cup of tea but nothing all that exciting. I washed it for 30 seconds and then steeped for 30 seconds. Maybe the third cup will be more exciting.

I really enjoy the Father Brown series. Very relaxing reads but Chesterton's control of the language makes it even more enjoyable. I just finished his "Saint Francis of Assisi" and am now about half way through his "St. Thomas Aquinas". The substance is a bit thin but G.K.'s interpretation of history, especially when counterpoised with other personages and events makes both books enjoyable.

Already had my de rigueur oolong for the night and am sipping on some Lamb's Navy rum with a squirt of Pepsi - to sooth my aching muscles after several home reno challenges today.

I'm having this:

it tastes worse than I imagined

beppe · 02-13-2011, 02:23 AM

I am going to try that Lapacho thing. But it is a production. 5 gr for a liter, than boil 2 min than let stand for 15 min. Than I have to put it in a bottle for later use (pre sleep drink). It should keep for a couple of days, in the fridge.

astra, are you sure that this is a good thing? I'll tell if it is any good. Incas did not do a great show anyhow.

Island Mango and Peach white tea. Wondering about ordering Peach Cran tango black tea from Teavana...
