Random sips: Tea and Writer's Tears

A half-pound of Black Mango to go… across the country to Reno. There’s a serious lack of Gong Fu Tea in those parts. While there I enjoy a pot of Lavender Sencha for what ails me, in this instance a scratchy throat.

First cuppa of PG Tips with my new electric kettle, a gift from Beasley in Reno! A seldom used spoon holder makes for an excellent tea bag squeezer.

Left, Tea drinker’s mud flaps. Spotted at SF Supermarket in Las Vegas. Right, Writers’ Tears Copper Pot Irish whiskey. Alcohol forward on the tongue, spicy with ginger, butterscotch, and oak, swims down the throat smooth and easy. A fun blend of Pot Still and Single Malt, with nary any Grain. I am impressed!
