Good morning !
it is 6.20 am, I am all nice and pretty (and clean ) and enjoying my 10 minutes of quiet Bfast with petite princesse before waking her brother up.
It is still dark outside, but already 22° C.
I am having a green smoothie, already had a coffee, the water bottle is next.

Have a great day everyone !

a smooth green smoothie (peach, lettuce and chicory, flavored by a sliver of ginger root), rolled oats with cold milk and the most luscious foamy Nespresso. This morning Biggirl takes little girl to school. The taxi picks her up at 12.15, so I have a free morning.

There actually CAN be such a thing as 'too much tabasco sauce...'

I shall have a glass of rum. It's left over from 'Talk Like a Pirate Day.'

Nothing to do with cups, but I like to make all of you aware of a marvelous exposition that is opening in Milano. It is about Artemisia Gentileschi. It will be on till next January. There is also an ipad app for free.

I just saw that we have a very rich theater season starting. So come to Milano and enjoy it in our beautiful Autumn and Winter.

Why I am doing this? The other day I saw a video by National Geographic Travel about Milano and decided that is a very nice place. I knew it all along but the TV confirmed it.

As it says, Kabusecha is a milder tea than standard sencha. I prefer a more pronounced flavour.
Gyokuro is even worse, although it is one of the most expensive teas. I will give Gyokuro one more chance when I go to London. Maybe one day another chance to Kabusecha...I have seen some on ebay.

Anyway, I just finished cuppa #7 and the last one for today.
Taylors of Harrogate's Ceylon.
I am afraid, Ceylon is not my cuppa.
I don't think a teaist has to love all teas. Just be knowledgeable and enjoy tea. There are plenty of teas that I love and plenty that I don't. I don't like any of the Chinese Greens but I really like to love almost all of the Japanese Greens. All that says is that I prefered the smoked greens to the pan fried greens.

Here's a much better chalice with a palace (although they call it a castle).

And another.

And a rather splendid Flagon with a Dragon (although they call it a tankard).

But still no vessel with a pestle. But I did find a vessel with a vessel.

There's shortly going to be a pint of water in my cup, as I'm off to give blood very shortly, and the new protocol is to get you to take a drink of water before giving blood.

Ah, I'm the opposite. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese Greens, but very much enjoy the Chinese ones. Peet's Lung Ching Dragonwell being my current favourite.

I find I like many different teas, depending on mood and time of day. Everything from your basic "cuppa" to the most delicate of first flush Darjeelings to the heartiness of a Lapsang Souchong.

But I start the day with coffee -- Sitting in bed now, with David Drake's Lord of the Isles, and a mug of Peet's Major Dickason's Blend.

I really love tea, well not all of them. Burning tires and perfume loaded, I stay away from.
Somehow I lost the thread of tea and I do not seem to find the mood to start again.

I am going to buy some matcha to put it in the morning green smoothie. I was told that it gave a pleasant sense of alertness. I'll try it soon and dutifully report. I might just pulverize my Japanese green tea leaves in the spice grinder.

Somehow, a vessel with a vessel seems... so... so... redundant.

I will have another tot of rum and ponder the choices... I do wish to thank you for all your efforts!

Although I drink green teas every day of the week, I really can't say that I 'like' them. I simply tolerate them. They are served automatically when I sit down in a restaurant, and the taps in the kaitenzushi shops all pour green.

For me to enjoy my teas, they have to be black and they have to be robust. I'll accept a good quality Ceylon, and enjoy a high grown Uva, but I'd sooner have a good Keemun or Assam, or something blended with them. Unless of course it's a chilly rainy day. Then there can be just one!
