jazzfish: Owly, reading (Owly)
[personal profile] jazzfish
Last Christmas [livejournal.com profile] narquelion kindly gave me a number of pouches of loose tea, and several fill-it-yourself teabags. I never used either of these things; my attic apartment felt incredibly Not Right for tea of that quality.

This evening I opened the bag of Keemun Hao-Ya A and made myself two cups' worth.

The tea does indeed have a slightly reddish tint, and a most enticing aroma.

I sipped it a bit hesitantly at first. I wasn't quite sure I'd actually gotten any tea, so I sipped again.

"Oh my."

I have an excellent book and an amazing cup of tea. This, I suspect, will be a good night.

[livejournal.com profile] narquelion, I thank you, my taste buds thank you, and the restored calm in my soul thanks you.

Psst

The Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library is easy to find: Route 7, inside the beltway, on the left as you drive southeast on 7, at the stoplight just past George Marshall High (which is on the right). If you pick up the book and drive a bit further, on the right is a Whole Foods and a good Thai restaurant (or there used to be, anyway). And I think a good Indian restaurant in the shopping center near-opposite (other side of 7).

Others may be closer: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library/branches/

That sounds like a really interesting book.

Was wondering, dear one, what you were doing up so late, and now I know. Though there is something amusing about the idea of an apartment insufficient to a cup of Real Tea, you are certainly most welcome.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
