Words are inadequate

did you go to the victorian tea room for your tea? i would link to it but their website would probably discourage you from ever visiting. i seem to recall there also being a good coffee house in old town, but i can't remember the name. either google has failed me or it's no longer there.

i love the smell of lapsang souchang, but i haven't found any tea other than lemon zinger green tea that i actually enjoy drinking. "delicate" teas all taste too watery to me, and i don't usually like black tea except as chai (ie highly spiced with sweetened condensed milk, not just "tea in a different language"). when i was a kid i would brew lemon tea with two teabags and then add lemon juice.
