Perfect! Needless to say, I’ll be having a bit of Talisker 10 Yr. tonight, along with my DW’s homemade pizza.

First tea. I got a late start on a busy day.

Sounds perfect for today. I'll join you, though not Ahmad brand. But I have a quite decent Murchie's Earl Grey here.

Do you suppose your fellow Canadians would let me visit for a cup of tea?

Sorry, we've got enough problems without importing more. OTOH, if you choose to immigrate, we're quite happy to have you.

And you can certainly order some Murchie's tea to prepare yourself. Last I looked, they did ship outside Canada, though goodness knows how long it takes in the current environment!

Nothing but lots of faux San Pellegrino tonight. It's hot again.

Ahmad Aromatic Earl Grey

I've been indulging myself the last few days. I hadn't been buying new tea during the lockdowns and started worrying that I might run out of good tea before things went back to normal. I started drinking the tea that isn't bad enough to throw out, but isn't exactly the stuff I get wistful about, either and managed to go through several boxes of things like Twinings that I'd bought "just to try." I was rearranging my slightly emptier shelves and drawers and found some unopened packages of tea in the back. I was on a kick for a while of trying Ceylon blends from the Middle East and I remember buying a few "spare" packages of ones I particularly liked, but I guess I liked more of them than I thought. Since sizes like 250g and 350g are common in some of the imported brands, I dug out almost four pounds of sealed, unopened tea.

I decided I could have a little more of the good stuff once in a while and still not face running out before the vaccines arrive.

Life's too short to drink bad tea when you can have good tea! Though I would have thought there were plenty of online resources still shipping, even in the midst of a pandemic. (I know that my local -- Murchie's -- is still shipping, and doesn't appear to have any major out of stock notices.) But finding 4 Lbs of good tea hiding on the back of shelves? Major Bonus!
