WTF? Where is Upton Tea, for instance?

Funny. All Russians seem to use more or less the same tea outlets, first it was Specialty Tea, now Upton. Crowd behavior or is it really better?

Some updates.

And http://www.musiccitytea.com/ ?

And, for that matter (expensive, but worth it) http://www.teance.com/ ?

And more, I am sure.

Which is why I've added this post to memories, and am waiting for more outraged tea lovers to comment :)

Btw, what's your favorite? Mine is Small Red Robe, which is better at Teance.

I am still trying to find out if there is a specific variety more to my taste than the others. Perhaps my palate is not so fine tuned. Also, during the day, I often fell like having different kinds.

For example, I have recently realized that I prefer pu-erh at night, before going to bed. Good on its own and also pairs well with red wine (or so it seems).

I often find myself drinking black in the morning, green or oolong during the day. But it is likely just a habit. Have not put much thought into it.

Update. Thinking about removing the lock from the post.

французский способ - это после красненького кофе эспрессо. Мне очень нравится (или привык) состояние после.

[cema.livejournal.com]

О, я тоже, только не эспрессо, а каппучино обычно.

[a_p]

капучино тоже можно!

[cema.livejournal.com]

Ура! Пью по-французски за ваше здоровье!

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Likely to get more suggestions without the lock.

[cema.livejournal.com]

True. Unlocked.

[eta-ta.livejournal.com]

why did you lock it, exactly? what was so secret and/or personal in a bleg for tea-leaf sources?

[cema.livejournal.com]

No secrets. I often lock my postings for a day or two and then open them. To regulate the flow of comments and the way of discourse.
