What is in your cup? - Page 2484

I had to limit myself to that single first cup, and even cut back on tea anytime after noon.

Kirkland Pacific Bold.

I also toast your grandad, with a wee dram of Port Charlotte.

I have not liquor to toast with ATM, but I’ll raise my glass of Cold Brew.

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.

I used the last of the Turkish black tea last Wednesday. I was impressed all along. When I bought it at the farm market the 500g package cost less than $8. I found it on Amazon at that time for about $12, but that was a bit high. I checked again a couple of weeks ago and found it for $9.40, so I may be having it again, soon.

Right now, I'm finishing up my second tea of the day -- a very nice Taiwanese Oolong.

My condolences...

Bottled water.

A glass of BC Sauvignon Blanc to go with a Thanksgiving turkey. Which I smoked first.

cromag · 10-14-2019, 08:27 PM

Last tea of the day -- and a somewhat frazzled day it has been. Things should settle down gradually through the week.

I hope.

trichobezoar · 10-15-2019, 10:30 AM

A bottle of Niagra Natural Spring Water.

Morning, everyone!

CRussel · 10-15-2019, 12:34 PM

Kirkland Pacific Bold, and a glass of cranberry juice. And good morning to you.

cromag · 10-15-2019, 07:41 PM

Finishing up my first tea of the day.

Pondering my night cap .... 10 yr. Talisker or Port Charlotte .... decisions ...
