I totally get the space problem for new teas. I'm embarrassed to admit just how many I have right now.

I've also hit my afternoon caffeine limit, so switching to faux San Pellegrino.

Finished my Major Dickason's. Now a bit of Keemun I think -- I've still got some Lion Mountain Keemun, that should do nicely.

I fell into an impulse buy yesterday ... whilst stocking up on Talisker 10 yr. I saw a display at the counter and added a bottle of Suntory Toki. I've tried various Japanese whiskeys in the past - for a lighter hot weather tipple. I'll open it tonight after mowing the lawn ...

I'll be curious to hear what you think of it. I've not tried any of the Japanese whiskys, but have heard some good things about the best of them.

I tried Suntory Hakushu last year - distilled in the mountains - very light bodied with musky notes and decidedly grassy on the palate - very pleasant.

Suntory Hibiki is one of my all time favorites (and the bottle is absolutely gorgeous)

Milk oolong in my tea. There is a new tea store in my neighborhood that I am going to have to check out.

We had a great week. My Sister-in-Law was here with her kids and husband. The kids are the same age as Little Man so we had three straight days of activity. The kids did a great job, had a ton of fun, and made some great memories. Then we had a nice quiet Easter.

Loving watching the Little Man grow and seeing how much fun he has with his cousins.

Wei-Chuan organic ti kuan yin.

Not terrible, but cheap and tastes like it.

We don't celebrate a holiday this last week, but I did enjoy a pleasant weekend at home, with no real responsibilities hanging over me. Ground is still a bit cool and wet to be planting, and there was good curling on the telly, so...

Drinking Balmoral Blend this morning. And there's NOT a new tea store in my neighbourhood, sadly. Nor ever likely to be. Mail order is my friend.

First tea of the day.

Coffee, Sumatra.

Little Man read his first book last night. So, so excited for him. It is freaking surreal.

It is indeed! Having 'watched' his progress from afar, I'm quite chuffed, actually.

This morning, Lapsang Souchong. It's a gray, dismal, and wet day and I need some 'umpf' in my tea.

Just finished a Diet Pepsi (no Coke Zero at the store).
