Tea

([personal profile] redbird Sep. 26th, 2004 04:58 pm)
I am, unexpectedly and very annoyingly, out of golden Assam tea: I knocked the canister over and spilled the remaining contents on the kitchen floor, leaving me with only the tea leaves I'd just put into a tea ball for the then-current mug of tea. I had already put this tea on the shopping list, but I figured I had enough for the coming week.

A quick inventory confirmed that I was also almost out of Ceylon breakfast and Irish breakfast tea, though well-stocked on jasmine dragon (a green tea that [livejournal.com profile] papersky introduced me to) and Darjeeling. The current cup is the "orange douce" (a black tea blend with, I think, orange peel and maybe some other orange flavouring) I picked up in Montreal when Papersky and [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel took me, [livejournal.com profile] jonsinger, and [livejournal.com profile] lisajulie to the tea shop, which I think was last year. As I was bringing it into the living room, I realized that I'm not out of good strong Indian tea: I have the PG Tips.

Nonetheless, a trip to McNulty's is indicated sooner than I was planning (for the Golden Assam), and another to Sahadi (which is, among other things, a good place to get Ceylon breakfast--though I may put off the other Sahadi's stuff, walk from McNulty's to Porto Rico, and pay a whopping $2.39/box instead of $2.20/box (McNulty's charges significantly more--I buy the Assam there because Porto Rico doesn't have an Assam I really like, but that's the only thing I buy there) to save a bit of time. (The walk from one Village tea store to the other is, I think, shorter than the walk from the subway to Sahadi's, and from Porto Rico I can get the A train a lot quicker than from Sahadi's, not to mention that it's a shorter subway trip).
