I love your work anyway, so shall return at the very least to lurk regularly.<br /><br />Ah tea! My husband and I keep a cupboard full of teas, black and green and fruit. Teas for every mood, but not as yet chocolate tea. It does not appeal to me, but as a chocolate lover it might to him. I shall tell him.<br /><br />As a child in Thessaloniki, in winter we drank tea with water from the samovar which is now in my attic. My Scottish father, far from true to form, liked his tea weak - 'just wave a tea leaf over his cup' is what we used to joke.<br /><br />When I worked in Zimbabwe I drank robust Red Bush tea, grown in the Eastern Highlands. And when I worked in Indonesia I watched them picking the leave from those so picturesque bushes while I drank.<br /><br />Mmm ... I think I'll just bake some scones now, for eating with a lovely cup of tea.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-66386326641780043352011-01-21T23:39:02.069-08:002011-01-21T23:39:02.069-08:00Let me get back to you

Lately, I've been drinking oolong tea from China, imported by Silk Road Teas. It's amazing - the best I've ever had in my life.
