I thought I'd better hold back. Didn't want to hurt the sensitive 'little' girl.

^ Don't hold back on my account. That'd be baby girl to you.

The kind man asked if we would like some tea. My gov replied in the affirmative.
The Dr played mum when it was brought. Lovely pot and fine china.
I was surprised there was no milk, and it didn't look hot.
You should have seen the look on the Dr's face when I asked for a spot of milk!
Now that was one of the finest drams I've ever had.

Nothing like a wee dram of scotch! Did you get to the scotch distillery?

For the benefit of PB and her ongoing TD education:

Ceylon black tea is black tea that is grown in Sri Lanka (which was known as Ceylon before 1972). It has a crisp aroma reminiscent of citrus, and is used both unmixed and in blends. It is grown on numerous estates which vary in altitude and taste.

Of course we have a Scotsman to thank for stealing the secrets of tea from the Chinese.

Cannon fodder & tea thieves.

We are indeed indebted to the Scots!

you are obviously a tea expert

Well I'd consider myself somewhat of a 'tea connaisseur' actually.

I found out that celyon tea is a black tea grown mostly in Sri Lanka.

Stands a fair chance, seeing that Ceylon was the former name of Sri Lanka...

You're not the sharpest knife in the Canadian box, are you?

Is that from Sri Lanka too?

90% of your posts have just gone to show what an ignorant & stupid waste of oxygen you are. Stick around, every community needs a 'village idiot'.

Something else we agree on! The expression thick as a pudding springs to mind. I was amazed she managed to spell 'chrysanthemum' - she must have cut and pasted it.

My old mum sends me Ringtons Extra Fresh tea from the UK about every 6 weeks, Delicious stuff - Home | Ringtons if you want to import some.

Last week she changed and sent me some Punjana from Belfast - that's nice stuff too.

Just been down the Jomtien supermarket and bought some Heladiv tea, price is still the same, they have some boxes of 25 at some exhorbitant price but I think they are one of those weird teas, not normal tea like in the boxes of 100.

aha, so Phuketbound is Canadian. Do you think she has found it yet?

**phuketbound** · 11-03-2009, 07:30 PM

^Nope still haven't found it,because it is so damn small. Lemongrass tea is really nice in Thailand. I was looking for some to bring back here. Is it easy enough to find?
