Same thing here. I even can't stand those vanilla perfumes anymore!

BTW, should we open up a new thread "What is in your nose?" No, forget it! Mine is clean

What about the size of tea mound vs. tuocha?

I think 30 seconds is not enough. At least it didn't work with tuocha for me.
My notes about cooked tuocha.
Code:
1.
rinse 30 sec
first infuse 3 min (too strong)

2.
rinse 10 sec
1st infuse 30 sec (weak, need stronger)
2nd infuse 1min 30 sec (better than the 1st, yet weak)


next time:
3. 
rinse 20 sec
first infuse 1 min
The third is suspended until I go to London. Maybe I buy Pu-Erh there. If not then I am going to order the same tuocha and continue with experimenting.

These two are way far out in deep space! If I could I would cover both of you with precious stones, rich silk_and_gold fabrics from the Orient, burn precious woods in your honor and have the most sinuous dancers entertain you to your pleasure. I surely would.

I can only give you karma, but it is from the core of my heart. Thank you.

A cup of Taylors of Harrogate's Ceylon.


Dear Stitchawl,

A personal request for information!

(I know it is all personal, but you are my best reference point)

When I am in London, I am going to visit two shops (4 but the other 2 are different).
The East India Company
Fortnum & Mason

I remember you said:
Quote:
'Fortnum & Mason' for their 'Royal Blend' and their English Breakfast Tea.'
Are these two the same or different?
Anything else? Ceylon, but you said that Taylors of Harrogate's Ceylon is deeper

What about The East India Company? Which ones particularly do you like?

awww thanks.

Who my obsession with tea would lead to the possibility of sinuous dancers. hmmmm what type of tea does one drink while watching dancing....

(goes to check her tea shelf)

two of my favorite teas have vanilla in them. You can see the vanilla pods in them.
