A lovely Sunday afternoon: much-needed rain, a basket of ironing to soothe and unwrinkle me, and Victoria and Abdul to make me smile (Judi Dench is priceless). It could only be capped off by a British/Indian alliance like good old Typhoo. I have absolutely nothing novel or original to say about it, it’s just become a good friend. For this version, Typhoo uses Assam teas that are muscular enough to survive the decaffeination process and leave a little bit of dark-toast-crust flavor behind. Lovely.
