...I have got a question for tea pro and amateurs alike.
Do you know anything/heard about Ching Wo China black tea?
Quote:
This traditional tea is from the Fujian Province of Southern China. A popular black tea it is described as a 'congou' which means it is made from the largest leaves of the tea bush. South China Congous are often called 'clarets' because they have a full bodied, wine like characteristic. A deep, rich flavour with a lovely coppery liquor, Ching Wo has a light aroma and is ideal for drinking in the afternoon....it's also good to accompany savoury pastries.

Theraflu. I have a cold. In Los Angeles. In September. In 100+ degree weather.

Iced tea. Just regular tea. From tea dust bags. But it's still tasty.

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

I can't get this song out of my head!! I went to bed singing it. I woke up singing it. It keeps repeating over and over in my brain. I think I'll learn to play it today and see if that helps....

Good morning, all. I overslept today by almost two hours! Feels good though, and with nice music playing in my head, a great start for a Tuesday. Unfortunately, it's Wednesday. Oh well...

Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire Tea" in my cup today, along with some strange Korean-tasting dish topping my morning rice. It was an experiment I tried last night using up some left-over veggies and pork I found in the fridge. Better last night than this morning. Too spicy for a breakfast dish.

Which ever, it really is a great hot weather meal!

"Theraflu..." A robust drink, having a background that tickles the nose while motes of fruity essences play lightly on the tongue... Better mixed with sparkling water and a twist of lime.. Hope your cold improves quickly, and don't kiss any of us while you are still infectious. In a small group like this we can pass a cold back and forth endlessly!

I've never heard the name. I'm looking forward to your tasting reports... To me, a good robust black tea is worth finding!

To whit, I'll have a second mug of "Yorkshire Tea!" As they say in their advertisesments; "It's not for them wots from Surry!"

I have a question. When you have a "cold", do you feel hot, or cold?

What news?... You look dodgy

Today I have tea with milk. My tastebuds must be dysfunctional. It tastes completely as the same as without milk.

I dare say, when one gets a cold, one is hot but feels shivery as when it is cold... if it makes any sense. Or where you pulling his (in this case mine too) leg?

Hooray for snuggies I should get mine out of my closet soon too. Actually, I have my own personal heating system these days. There's nothing like strong warm arms around you to fend off the cold

In my cup: Rooibos Persipan. I should order Rooibos Caramel Cream again soon. I miss it.

Well, we park in the driveway, drive on the Parkway, to take down a building we raze it, we can go uptown or downtown and get to the same place, so why not be hot when we have a cold?

I wonder how it got the name "cold" to begin with... I may hve to go look that up later instead of be productive at work.
