Coke Zero #2.

Ah, I love this time of year. Ideal for running outdoors

Just got back from my run, relaxing a little with lots of water and a bowl of cherry yoghurt.

In the hotel in the mountains, we had instant coffee, earl gray, sencha and roiboss. I found it chic. The bags were in sealed plastic that because of the altitude had become sphere. They also kept us stoked with bubble water and a vase with fresh fruit. In the room there was a net plug and in the winter garden an hotspot.

we are all going to have a Sunday sauna, in few minutes. Daughter had her first in the mountains. I expect a lot of interesting reactions. I offered her to go just the two of us, but she insisted: all three. So it will be. Let's see

You are too kind, Sir.
However, the better 1051/1061 would turn her face away from such a childish drink (a new one for me

gotta try it one day), she would prefer the same but with only one different letter chAcha

Thanks! I didn't know we had it here. I had my lrf for two years, maybe longer. The author sounds bitter and cynical(some would say, not me though) very often, but I like his realistic point of view.
I would give a lot to try this beverage of tea, salt, rise etc. The grandfather of our teas. Just out of curiosity

In my cup another oolong Phoenix Dancong
Pleasant taste. Although, it is more like green tea. Both the smells and light bitterness (as if you over steeped green).
Omg. The cup if empty. Off I go to resteep it second time.

Toddling off to brew up a cuppa from the last of my China Golden Yunnan sample. Sigh.... time to place a new tea order and bolster the world economy again.

I'm doing great, it's nice to hear from you! I'm at my parents and I didn't have internet access here until yesterday, but now I'm back online - with a vengeance

A cup of cooked Pu-Erh.

I have tried another new tea today.
Indian black tea Sikkim 2nd Flush Temi TGFOP1.
Unusual. Maybe I would not say it is a black tea if I tried it with my eyes shut. It has an interesting flavour. Do I like it? Don't know yet. Definitely no negative attitude. One cup is not enough to decide though. There are probably enough for 3 more cups in the sample.

Second resteep of oolong Phoenix Dancong was pleasant. I am not sure I would re-order it, but so far I like it. Ginseng Oolong was more interesting. Maybe I am unfair. Looks like I favour odd teas but don't give enough thought to an ordinary, albeit good.

I am going to make a cup of yet another new black tea. Indian Nilgiri Thiashola TGFOP. Wish me luck
