We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Ulysses

I knew an Englishman who was a serious tea drinker, he collected and drank non-fermented teas and North Thailand is a very good location for this.
He's been some sort of financial wizard in Hong Kong and retired very early to Chiang Rai where he made a good living trading currencies online.
His wife had a little restaurant near one of the colleges where she did good Thai food at student prices.
I'd call in there for lunch some days and he'd come to the table with a pot of green tea and we'd drink it and discuss it.
If I liked it he'd give me some leaf to take home, he moved back to the UK so his young daughters could get a serious education but I've still got a jar of his tea here.

A closet tea drinker. A bi-toff? |

Abit of pom in you perhaps? Earl Gray? Haha could be, I used to drink working class red cup flat out, but then my chest started to hurt every time I had one. Ever since I switched to Tea I've been fine. I must be caffeine sensitive. I love my Tea but nothing too ritsy. Black Tea with creamer during the morning, (no Fresh milk, that's for the rich lol) and Green Herbal Tea (herbs from the garden) in the afternoons. |

I used powered nestle creamer for years until I read it is one of the worst things for trans fat along with my once daily continental cup of soup. Not used since. black only. Other than the 3 in 1 treat. Hotta commercial brand ginger tea the best of all though. |
