Argggh! I was afraid of that!

Fourth cuppa.
Rooibos Persipan
New for me. Brewing it at the moment.

More black coffee. I'm out of sorts today, but I'm going to a Christmas concert at noon at a historic church downtown, so that should put me in a better mood!

ProfCrash · 12-01-2010, 09:47 AM

Pot number one of Rooibos vanilla and a nice cup of Greek Yogurt

happy_terd · 12-01-2010, 10:02 AM

coffee number 2

Sixth cuppa.
Pu-Erh.

I have decided to test a second sample out of two that I got in Bath tea shop. The first one was Assam and I loved it.
I am brewing Russian Leaf Tea at the moment. What is Russian about it? No idea.

An original blend of teas from Sri Lanka, Darjeeling and China.

Only the other days I said I cannot stand Darjeeling and today I am going to test my statement. Will let you know a bit later whether I drunk it or poured into a sink

I think it's called Russian after the caravans that used to bring tea from the far east to Europe, via Russia

I have read about Russian Caravan tea

It has probably established a fashion of sorts

anyway, the tea I mentioned above is drinkable but that's it. I don't like it. I also don't feel Darjeeling too much. Only a hint of it.

That's all I know about Russian Caravan Tea. In my home made version I found it very nice.

I am pot two of Earl Grey 69.

Second try.
Better this time. Similar to Sencha Uji, but less sweet? or the flavour is lighter? I think I like it.

I would not mind if some one would write that post on my stone, literally.

I wonder whether there is a second meaning....

LOL.

I have no idea why they call it Earl Grey 69. It does make me chuckle though but it tastes so yummy.
