still in the "paying off the debt" mode after meeting remote people in remote places
went to a tea place at hermitage garden (after champagne has been served unexpectedly at a theatre nearby); agreed that we needed to smuggle in vodka next time; i mentioned the two teas i have been addicted to for past few months:
"eroica caravan" lapsang souchong; drink it during the evenings, the smokey taste is incredibly addictive. strong smell, strong taste.
opus pouchong oolong - delicate enough and yet fairly distict taste. goes well during the day as well as late in the evening. lighter, softer, almost calming.
notice the stories about both teas - almost an inside joke, but unintenional.
going to seattle tomorrow; there are plenty of tea places there, but it is all about the ceremony (not in the formal sense, but in the ability to relax, quiet down, take in the company).
