Too many years living in the SF Bay area, and going to a rather more wine tastings than were really good for my budget.

Drinking Peet's Major Dickason's Blend coffee today. Big, bold, moderately bright, and all-in-all, my absolute favourite coffee blend.

Tea - Typhoo.

Stash Lemon and White Tea. I'm distraught, as they discontinued the flavor. This is my very last bag.

Just finished my fourth mug of tea. Time for dinner.

ProfCrash · 11-13-2015, 09:22 AM

Green Spring Snail. A good Green.

Lots of ice water

Bilbo1967 · 11-13-2015, 05:36 PM

Talisker Skye.

Taking some of the edge off with the third mug of tea.

Sam Adams Octoberfest -- a very rich, malty, tasty beer -- very nice with dinner.

A rough weekend. A group I do occasional work for let their developer muck around with DNS and the email. By the time they called Friday afternoon, email and their website had been down for over a day. Got the DNS fixed, but the email was still horked. Finally did what I had planned to do in a more controlled way, and moved them onto Office 365. Took most of Saturday to get everything sorted and set up, but they're already much happier. But I lost the weekend.

A couple of mugs of a Sencha. I didn't dislike it, but I can tell it's just not my cup of tea.

ProfCrash · 11-16-2015, 09:32 AM

Glad that your tried the sencha. Everyone has different tastes. Darjeelings are boring to me, you are not a fan of Senchas.

Guangxi Mao Feng Black in my pot.

Oh, certainly. Though I suspect I'll try tweaking the temperature a bit and try a few more times. And it may well be just getting my tastes "educated" to sencha.

As for Darjeelings -- they go from bad to boring to really quite nice, and I have a few I quite like. Mostly in the First Flush range, though, where they fit in much the same slot as a green or Oolong (depending on which First Flush it is.)

This morning, back to drinking Lion Mountain Keemun.
