The second part will be posted next Thurs. and will simultaneously run in the Westchester Times Tribune (I have a weekly column). Thanks for remembering.<BR/><BR/>For the past few months I have been really getting into teas from the Satrupa Estate in India. I get them through TFactor on the Net. Particular favorites are the full leaf Darjeeling (unlike any I've had before with nice subtle fruity notes - don't use milk with it) and the Assam called Spring Kama (a deeper bodied tea that goes nicely with a splash of milk). <BR/><BR/>I'll do a post on teas soon.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>WFWesFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315102176318302492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24568870.post-1160258315459465972006-10-07T14:58:00.000-07:002006-10-07T14:58:00.000-07:00Did you write this previously?

I'm a big fan of loose leaf green tea but I drink my own Masala Chai and just plain old English tea every once in a while. Are there any good tea stores in the area? I've been buying most of my green tea at the local Asian stores as Maeda-En is my favorite brand at the moment.<BR/><BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24568870.post-1144417033249780512006-04-07T06:37:00.000-07:002006-04-07T06:37:00.000-07:00Very cool post, very well written. And oh, so tru...Very cool post, very well written. And oh, so true of that time...I remember a time when I walked around declaring, 'friends don't let friends go to starbucks,'in order to try and save the small time independent shops. But often I found the smaller shops to be inconsistent with both quality and service, and so, as with yourself, when the Starbucks came, I succumbed. And yeah, this was right around the time when I, myself, was wearing flannel and birks and listening to the sounds of Seattle...Now, I'm more addicted to the coffee bean than perhaps I was then, lol...Still, I cannot see myself receiving good quality coffee from these many new outlets--it seems nearly everyone with electricity is offering, 'premium coffees.' Oh well, only time will tell. <BR/>Good blog, I'll be a regular reader!teacherarbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044895196139369219noreply@blogger.com
