Good flavour, more pleasant than Georgian Old Lady.

Yesterday I made a daring thing. I put order in the cup board that hosts spices and teas, which I also collected from various places in the pantry.

Spoiler:

Among a collection of Earl Grays, Lady Grays, lemon scented teas and similar, I found an untouched packet of Tanzania Tea. Black. Robust, very nice. A solid cup of tea. Tannin, pleasant. Put it out. Probably it belonged to my long time gone father and it was given to me by my sister who managed the affair, and I forgot about it.

Together with an other untouched packet of Temple of Heaven Gunpowder, that is what I am going to try right now. Not bad, may be a little too faint after the Tanzania cup. I'll put it out also, that is in sight. Moments after drinking it, I feel a very nice peppery taste. Interesting. Good quality. I had doubt about keeping it or throwing it out. I'll keep it.

There is also an almost untouched collection set by Twinning including bags of Prince of Wales. Obviously it belongs to my wife. I might make a people appropriation of those.

I might go for more teas and less coffee.

I expect to find inspiration for the purchase of teas by the tea drinkers that abound on this thread.

Ok, for to day I got enough caffein. If I want more tea I will go Rooibos (pure) or herbal (of those I have a wide choice)

In honor of the cold, crisp fall weather, I'll be brewing up some lapsang souchang - my traditional cold weather tea.

astra · 11-07-2010, 11:39 AM

Since it is only 16.40 and officially bar opens at 18.00 I went for

excellent choice

astra · 11-07-2010, 11:49 AM

If She Who Is Sitting Behind me smells it, the bar might be opened a bit earlier...

astra · 11-07-2010, 12:22 PM

She didn't smell it.
Back to tealand.
Chinese Large Leaf Green.

The first try. I like it. Very pleasant.

Lots of water today. Really thirsty for some reason.

astra · 11-07-2010, 02:45 PM

Off to watch Paranormal Activity with Laphroage for starters then maybe some green tea...maybe...

dreams · 11-07-2010, 04:15 PM

Hot Chocolate, as it is miserable, rainy, and cold outside.

astra · 11-07-2010, 04:57 PM

I watched instead The Final Destination.
I wonder whether it was the plan from the very beginning to watch it tonight?

A cup of Chinese Large Leaf Green.

"I have seen the morning burnin' golden on the mountain in the sky
Achin' with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies"

... and in honor of that, a large mug of Golden Assam tea!

Someone at work, who I hitherto thought had taste as they like the same chocolate I do, described it as tasting worse than an ashtray.

I put order in the cup board that hosts spices and teas, which I also collected from various places in the pantry. Spoiler: Accumulations from 3 marriages plus some deciduous resident girlfriends came to light, were analyzed in their pathetic aspects and put away again, lovingly. What can I do with 3 different bottles of celery seeds (McCormick, bought in Switzerland of all places, Fouchon from Paris and French from Canada)? Memories of Sunday brunches with Bloody Maries. Apparently my women loved Bloody Maries and their particular celery seeds, or it was me? who knows. Freedom from the past. Trust in the present, hope for the future. Vamos!
