What is in your cup? - Page 646

Coffee.
Just that?
Yeah
No descriptions. Not even the mug. Not the color of the light, nor the psychological space (mood)?
Nah.
At least what you are doing while drinking the coffee?
whoooow . (reading a cooking book)
Is it good at least?
Yeahh ... Just coffee.

...

Sometimes it is like that.

A very professional and spot on tip. Thanks!

Difficult to form a proper answer.
1. I have never heard of this tea ---> I don't have it at home. I don't think it is easily obtainable in the UK.
2. I don't have spiced rum at home. Is it Bombay gin?
3. Just googled this tea. I guess it has every herb I hate, such as mint, camomile etc.
4. Cannot be bothered to think too much about obtaining all of the above...
5. Drinking whisky is pleasant and at the same time alleviates sore throat symptoms...for 10 minutes.
6. If I had a nurse who would concoct such cocktail I might consider it...but my nurse succumbed to the same virus today and her medicine is Vodka. The more the better

I avoid this medicine

A pot of compost tea err...I mean Fortnum and Mason's Mini Tuocha Pu-Erh.

Well, while typing all of that I ran out of tea.
No idea what I am going to drink now...Keemun, Ginseng Oolong, Green? No idea yet.

TGIF (Thank goodness it's Friday). Short shift tonight (only one all week), so I think I'll splurge on a lime drink on the way in. We have a place that makes a fizzy lime something that tastes REALLY good.

Right now it's the usual Diet Dr Pepper though

2 ibuprofens washed down with Keemun, off to bed.
Tomorrow will be Saturday morning...with Assam, Emperors Yunnan and Palmiers!

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way and our way
Is on the road again.

Good morning, Sunshine! Perfect day to start a perfect trip. Need to take Felicity to the Cat House, give the bike a quick wash, load the saddle bags and we are gone! No rush, thank God. Today's leg is only two hours across the city to the docks to catch the overnight ferry. God bless the Japanese; they even have a public bath on board the ship, complete with jacuzzi!
(Note to self: Bring Asbestos umbrella for possible volcanic activity...)

Breakfast first... a large mug of my unbranded Keemun tea to get my blood flowing, along side a bowl of rice and Miso soup. (See, Beppe? No cholesterol!)

I think both work well for a cold. But keep in mind; Bombay Sapphire has 10 different healing herbs in its mix. THAT should really work for a cold!

Could have been worse. At least there were no STGLBOP or FGTSOP to deal with. (I still really love those!! Bwahahahahah!)

This Keemun tea is really, really nice! I only have two unopened bags of it. I sure hope that the import shop will/can restock their shelves. The shop keeper only spoke Mandarin Chinese, and my skill with that language is too limited to ask any indepth questions.

Following Beppe's advice I am having: A golden yellow/orange tea "hot to the point no fakin " In a clear glass coffee mug with a Teaspoon of bright, snow white sugar, from Tetley Tea company with love

(I think the TM above the word Tetley on the front mean "Tea Manufacturer" not sure though

)

Do you remember the '60's radio advertising for Tetley? The jingle?

I love those.... Tiny little tea leaves... in Tetley... Tiny little tea leaves in Tetley Tea...

Might be 'Trade Mark.'

Most tea companies call themselves 'tea importers,' 'tea merchants,' 'tea blenders,' or 'tea retailers.' I've never run into 'tea manufacturer' before, but it's certainly possible.

The only tea commercials I remember were the Red Rose Tea commercials from the 80's. The only type of tea I drank until I was in my thirties!
