Hendrick's Gin to wind down after a 10-case day in court.

cromag · 05-28-2019, 06:33 PM

I used the last of the Taiwanese Oolong yesterday.

The fruit and vegetable store I used to go to closed last year. There's another one near us -- larger, and actually a bit closer -- but it's not near any of my other regular stops. Last week I drove out to it, looking for some buckwheat honey. I bought a large batch of broccoli, a sack of apples, etc., but they had no buckwheat honey.

But, in the back of the store, I fond a large, inexpensive package of Turkish black tea. I thought it might be a nice break from my usual Chinese tea and picked it up.

I'm having the first mug now. It's very good. The dry tea is "dust," which I was a bit concerned about, but it turned out alright. I would describe the flavor as "deeper' and "fuller" than the Oolongs I usually have. When this pack is done I'll pick up some more and add it to my regular rotation.

But, it could definitely use some buckwheat honey.

Nice. Cranberry juice and a mug of Kirkland Pacific Bold here as I head out into the garden for some serious pruning and weeding. But planning on tea this afternoon.

Oolong

Gack! What a day. OTOH, the lilac is mostly pruned (one limb that will require the chain saw!), the apple tree has been hacked back to submission, and the rosemary is merely huge, no longer trying to take over the entire garden. And fresh oatmeal raisin cookies are out of the oven. But tomorrow? I'm going to pay. Big time.

Finishing off with a wee dram of Talisker 10Yr.
