Look at your list of 2011 books, I think you must sleep for, like, 2 hours a day?

I've just finished Coke Zero #3. And this evening I'm off to Scottish Country Dancing, where I'll be drinking water.

I really do do other things than reading — hey, I watched Dr Who this weekend too!

Milk Oolong

I had coffee, coke and a juice today. I feel I should drink at least one cup of tea a day if I am to post on this thread.

Cuppa #7
The East India Company's Keemun.

Poppaea · 05-16-2011, 03:45 PM

Third pot of tea.

First was a green Rose&Mint, second a second steep of that and now a green (Earl) Gray.

astra · 05-16-2011, 05:07 PM

Curiosity, curiosity, curiosity...I placed two orders tonight.

Chah
Keemun (Qimen) - 100 grams (compare with others

)
Pu-erh (Puerh), Post Fermented Green Tea - 50 grams (don't know whether it is cooked or not)
Milk Oolong Tea - 50g (compare with Tea House Emporium)
Genmaicha - 50g (compare with NBTea)

Pekoetea
Gen Mai Cha 50g
Yunnan Black Golden Tips 50g
Golden Needle 50g

Quote:

Golden Needle Black Tea, unlike most Chinese black teas that are made from fermented green tea, is made from fermented white tea. It is picked in early spring and tightly rolled into needle shape. It is one of the finest Chinese black teas available today grown on the Thai-Mu mountain in Fujian province

Finest Keemun Mao Feng 50g

Off to bed now with a cup#8 Lapacho (cannot call it cuppa, can I? it is not tea but tisane

)

pdurrant · 05-16-2011, 05:31 PM

Coke Zero #4. Although off to bed soon, so perhaps I should have chosen something else...

Here I am back home again, and I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been, knowing I've been West
I'm the family's unowned boy, golden curls of envy hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy
If you love me, let me live in peace, please understand
That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece
And hold a winning hand
I'm the family's unowned boy, golden curls of envy hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy

Home again! Be it ever so humble....
Good morning, everyone. Work is mostly done, and I can almost relax. I've some pictures to correct and send out, but that's just sitting at the computer. No need to get wet. We had a successful trip, the clients were pleased, and everyone had a good time. We even had a videographer come along for two of the dives. That's always fun.

So this morning I'm drinking Bigelow's English Breakfast tea that I found on the island. Their tea bags are only fair, but the loose leaf tea is very good! Rich and full bodied, with a strong Assam base to the blend.

We had a lot of this tea on board the boat. There was a large urn of hot tea always on. Breathing very dry air from a tank for an hour of so at a time really dehydrates you, and combined with cool water temperatures makes a hot drink welcome when you get back on deck. Needless to say, I sucked up a LOT of it!

Ahmad tea in my cup.

Breakfast of flat bread, boiled egg, salty feta cheese, cucumber, tomato.

An early start from Shiraz to Esfahan today; 500 kilometres on bumpy roads+frequent police checks+ some sightseeing on the way. We'll stay there for four days and then back to Tehran - Amsterdam- home after a truly memorable and happy journey, in different ways.

Welcome back, Stitchawl, and nice pics. I love the last photo. Are those the dive tanks?

Hi, desertblues.

What a wonderful journey you've had. Are you looking forward to going home?

It's rainy, cold, and windy. I'm curled up with my blanket and hot chocolate in my cup.
