Ha-ha!
I invited my mother-in-law to a local sizzler and ordered rib-eye stake....RARE. I have a nasty suspicion she won't go with us to restaurants any more.
It was a true culture shock for her

Water in a flask

So nothing, just a faint soapy feeling and the astringent suspicion of tannin. Oh oh. I started to feel insecure about my mouth: the day before (this was happening yesterday) I had made experiments with spices, so I might have saturated something. No problem. I brew a cup of my old friend Keemun, and I found again all the subtle and reassuring sensations. Rather like when ... Nah, this I am not going to tell. Two theories:a) she sold me a flop b) Darjeeling is a flop. I mean as I found it I would define it a mild filler.

I'm really glad to know I'm not the only person who doesn't much like Darjeeling.

Darjeeling is a weak, insipid, floral-flavoured excuse for a tea and I have never understood the fuss over it, especially over the first flush teas, which taste even worse.

In my opinion of course

I think your opinion is right on! "Insipid" is the perfect word for Darjeeling tea, although 'blech' runs a close second.

Black coffee -- getting ready to take my car in for an oil change.

I like the reindeer, Stitchawl -- it adds a little believeability (sp?) to the hat.

Thanks for the flowers, Astra.

Cold black Arabica-coffee, with some Mocca thrown in.

Latinandgreek · 11-30-2010, 09:11 AM

Juice.

First cup of coffee of the new day.

I have two Darjeelings that I adore and are in my regular rotation of tea. Yummy stuff they are.

I am working on a pot of Rooibos Carmel Cream.

astra · 11-30-2010, 10:28 AM

Some of my friends like Darjeeling too.
I would rather drink water, or Tetley

Pu-Erh imperial.

bjones6416 · 11-30-2010, 11:00 AM

Rooibos. I took a thermos of it to the car shop with me because I knew the waiting room would be cold! Home now, though.

Pookeysgirl · 11-30-2010, 11:14 AM

Hot chocolate supreme from Tim Hortons...mmmmmmm!
