    Default Re: Tea!

    I drink a double espresso coffee in the morning, with milk. I need the extra kick it offers, as I'm an old man and my engine takes stronger fuel to rev up.

    I drink Bigelow Constant Comment (English-style tea with Orange rind, my Dutch/Irish grandmother's favorite, which hence became one of mine), or Earl Gray in the afternoons, or sometimes Jasmine if I want something lighter, flowery and sweet.

    At night I drink a big mug of Japanese green tea, usually just some cheap Genmai (brown rice) cha. Great antioxidants, and it reminds me of my Japanese mum.

    Edit: I neglected to mention that on special occasions I'll pull out my stash of East-Indian-style Chai, loaded with interesting spices. I boil it in water, reduce to a simmer for a while to bring out all the subtle flavors, and then add some honey and about a third as much whole milk (the most common ratio is half and half, but I like a stronger chai flavor). I really enjoy Chai.

    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
