Went by the Milk and Honey tearoom yesterday, at about 2:15, and guess what? They were closed. They closed at 2. I was looking in the window when the proprietor came up and said they were closed, as if the sign on the door and locked door didn't indicate that. I realized, though, that tearooms seem to be all about frou-frou, and not about tea. They have very flowery teaware: teapots, teacups, and so on. Not at all masculine. There should be ducks and rifles on the wall. Foxes and horses, like the English countryside. Hmmm...but then again, what about the people in China and India? It's not so gender specific there, I don't think...
Also, had a great tisane: Peppermint tea. It was surprisingly satisfying. It ended up just like tea in terms of the liquor and the taste, but with the peppermint cooling...that would be a great addition to a milder black tea...not sure which, though. Not well enough developed to make a suggestion.
