11/19/07

Today, we're drinking Ceylon Sonata. I'm not sure how I did it differently today, since it doesn't have that same flavor as the first time I had it. Maybe the tea itself has changed since I've opened the tin so much. Maybe I didn't make it as strong. Just don't know. I'm also experimenting with steeping the same leaves twice, just to see if the tea holds up for the second cup, (Ooops. I rhymed. Sue me :-) because I saw it on a website/blog about tea. I tried it yesterday with the Golden Monkey, and that turned out okay. Today, I just got brown water, without much flavor. I'm finding that I like stronger teas, but not too strong.

In other tea news, I forgot to bring my teapot, and forgot the other two tea tins. Maybe tomorrow. (Lot of maybes today)…

Went to the Empress Tea Room, and it really is a room. Okay, two rooms. And almost exclusively women. High tea was all that they were serving on Saturday, and it is $16.95 per person. Yikes! There's a British place out on North Dale that does tea for $5. Haven't been there yet, but worth exploring.
