(what is cat repellant?)

I've often seen it sold with a citronella base, which makes me wonder...
Citronella is a kind of lemongrass... My cat loves to EAT my lemongrass...

Sencha Uji here.
I think I am going to order it tonight.
The fall photos I posted the other day were of tea growing in Uji. Perhaps from the very same bush as the tea you're drinking!!

I do hope it's a rainy day this time! It only tastes good on cold, nasty afternoons.

(I don't know what KIND of pu-erh or anything -- it's just a boxed loose tea I found today at my local Super H-Mart.)

Smells like dirt, a bit. I poured off the first infusion just because it seemed like I should , and then steeped it again for about 4 minutes. And although it smells a bit like dirt, it tastes kind of smooth. I'm very surprised.
Cool!
They say it is a healthy choice

Nah. Not trying, but enjoying it! Probably the warning is applicable for the hot Italian weather (beppe burning tyres). Over here, in a misty Albion is almost always welcome
I drink it only on weekends, when I can do it slowly and appreciate the flavour (just like a good Scotch ). Usually, the first sip is almost unpleasant (but not quite), however after that....I love it

Just finished a cup of Roasted mate. I like it in the morning.

I have ordered 5 teas.

1 x Keemun
1 x Assam BPS CL Mangalam
1 x Pu-Erh Wellness Guarana
1 x Pu-Erh Aged
1 sample of a new Rooibos Persipan

I am curious about Keemun. I liked Assam. We will see.

Lapsang Souchong was Alexander McKeag's 'old family tradition' in Michener's book, "Centenial." One would have thought he'd prefer Scotch!

Lunch time
Unusual cuppa (fifth) this time.
Pu-Erh imperial.
Since me and the better 2/3s liked it less than Pu-Erh aged from another supplier, I took the Imperial with me to work.
I would be interesting, if I manage to scare off people in canteen with its smell...

Well, not EXACTLY a standard supermarket. Super H-Mart is the local Asian market.

The only thing about the pu-erh was that it left sort of an odd taste in my mouth throughout the evening.

Black coffee right now.

Yep, it does just like Lapsang Souchong, although the latter is a bit more interesting in this regard.
