Still more Perrier today .... will summer never end?

Tonight ... Port Charlotte ...

Coffee,black,as per usual for me!

CRussel · 09-17-2016, 02:53 PM

Murchie's English Breakfast Blend now, but if this rain keeps up I'm switching to some Murchie's Russian Caravan. Which is a lot closer to what I'd call a Scottish Breakfast Blend, with a healthy dose of Lapsang Souchong in it.

Tonight I'll treat myself with some Port Charlotte. I've earned it.

I get out the silver needles when I know I'll have time to drink lots of resteepings. It seems a waste, otherwise.

Right now I'm tasting some Foojoy Chinese black tea. It smells wonderful, but is weak and flat tasting.

Indeed, I agree (about resteeping). As for the Foojoy -- sounds an awful lot like some of the cheap Keemuns I've run across.

Now drinking my faux San Pellegrino as I crank away at an overdue chapter.

Done with tea. Done with water. Nothing but Bruichladdich Port Charlotte for the rest of the evening...

cromag · 09-17-2016, 11:55 PM

Finishing off a Coke Zero from the trip to the grocery store.

CRussel · 09-18-2016, 12:33 PM

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend this morning, though I'm cutting the amount of sugar in half. The goal is to get to none at all, but that may be difficult--I've always drunk coffee with sugar and milk. There may well be much more tea in my future, since I drink that "black".

CRussel · 09-18-2016, 02:29 PM

Switching to Murchie's Russian Caravan Blend tea this afternoon. This is a blend of Lapsang Souchong, Darjeeling, Himalayan and China black teas, and make a strong, smoky cup of tea with a good bite to it. A perfect rainy day breakfast tea. Can withstand milk, but certainly doesn't require it.

cromag · 09-18-2016, 10:09 PM

Just finished my last tea for the day, and I've got a Coke Zero waiting in the fridge.

CRussel · 09-19-2016, 01:17 AM

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddy -- A reasonable tipple, but lacking the depth of Port Charlotte or Talisker.

Been up for 2.5 hours. On getting into work: 0.5l of water. Since then, .75 to 1l for Twinings loose Darjeeling tea (the one found on the continent, a superior blend found to the one on the UK).

Will probably swicth to Earl Grey next ('The des Lords' from Paris based tea house/company 'Palais des Thes').

Haven't had a drop of whisky in a while, and coke/diet coke is generally reserved for hangovers and mixers

p.s. no milk in any of the loose teas I drink; however milk and one sugar for PG Tips when in the UK
