I usually save Darjeeling for the evening, but it’s the perfect antidote for an afternoon spent on various trains!

Can’t wait for the First Flush this year…

I arrived at my girlfriend’s a couple of days ago, only to discover, to my horror, that she’d just run out of decent quality black tea. There’s plenty of excellent green tea to be had, but I do need a cup or two of black per day. So we’ve been drinking this muck since.

It’s absolutely filthy stuff. If brewed extremely briefly, it is possible to get it down. Brewed for more than a few seconds and it’s tannin hell.

Delicious drunk straight from the spout of my Yixing teapot.

I can’t get enough of this. It’s so smooth.
