First, it was a great pleasure to see K S on Facebook this morning! Are we Facebook friends? Nope. But Teavivre posted a link to his review of a puerh tea they sent him to try!
Second, tunes&tea, I was planning to start posting what I was listening to now and then and I forgot! So I was listening to The Wind and the Wheat by Phil Keaggy but now I don’t remember what tea I was drinking, but I know I had popcorn so does that count? LOL!
This morning, I am enjoying a nice cuppa, and this is a really authentic cuppa. Daughter’s BF sent a box from Ireland. He was desperately trying to find loose leaf tea and it is sad that it is a hard thing to find in a place that we think of so strongly connected with tea! He said when he comes to America next month for a visit, he is going to get lots of loose leaf tea.
This tea has a rich, complex aroma. There is a light astringency. With food, like the strong cheese we are eating right now, I like it plain. If I were only drinking tea, I think I would want a little milk and perhaps a little sugar. This tea will definitely open your eyes as soon as you give it a good sniff. There is malt, there is raisin, there is TEA! The liquor is rich red brown.
This is a CTC tea so I only give it 2 1/2 minutes in the boiling water. Someone with more chest hair might want to give it a little longer.
Love Phil Keaggy…had that one. I will check my chest and respond accordingly.
Have I sent you any of this one? You need to try it!
Don’t think so. It sounds so nicely British!
Consider it on it’s way!
Have I told you I love you lately?
:)
I saw the FB post this morning. I feel almost famous. Anyone want an autograph? ;)
Me first! Me first!
:)
What’s your autograph going for on eBay these days? ;)
I have a buy now option for one million. I figure I only need to sell one. That makes it even more rare – adding to the value.
I have never owned any Phil Keaggy but I used to listen to his neice Cheri Keaggy. Loved her early stuff.
K S: maybe try Pandora! I especially love his instrumental stuff. He won a Grammy for his guitar skills. When he sings, he sounds so much like Paul McCartney during the Wings years.
Just checked..PK is on Pandora. Good. Writing music for a Saturday morning!
