for me, the Yunnan with which I started the day just not kicking in
resulting in my having my first pot of coffee since summer.

Back on track now with a cup of the fine Wild Tea sent me from China a
while back. How about the rest of you? What's your cup this Christmas
day?

Yes, I have something like this too, bought at Big Apple tearoom in NYC. Big
coarse leaves, lemony taste and a kick-ass caffeine level! No coffee
necessary...

I was enjoying a cup of Ambootia autumn flush after a rather big
christmas dinner.

When I got home I headed straight for the kettle and grabbed some English
Breakfast, because it is bagged and I didn't feel like messing with a tea
ball. Then later I felt compelled to try a tea someone gave me for
Christmas--a Ceylon flavored with black currant. Not bad, but I'm not too
crazy about flavored teas (Earl Grey excepted). I finally hit the right
spot with a small pot of a single-estate Assam. I love that strong, malty
flavor.

I had a big pot of rooibos chai (leaf from Harney & Sons) after lunch
(a feast of palak paneer, vegetable handi, garlic naan, aloo paratha
and saffron rice), and another big pot of Foojoy aged pu-erh later one
(the one that smells/tastes like rich, camphorous topsoil). Mmm.

Sea Dyke's red-box oolong, Specialtea's birds nest Pu'erh, and a
Chinatown white, playing with tea after Christmas dinner with friends.

I was invited to a Christmas dinner at my English friend's house. I
had Cuban pot roast with mashed potatoes and bean salad. During the
wonderful dinner, I had a cup Lapsang Souchong and after dinner I had
a cup of keemun mao feng with lemon meringue pie.

Morning: 2 boiling-water steeps of a gift Ito En hojicha. Somehow I'd
never liked hojicha previous times I'd tried it, but I think that's
changing.

Afternoon: 2 cool steeps of, hmm, another Ito En green. This one I
bought in a Korean grocery months ago, and I'm afraid I don't know
what kind it is, but it's still doing well, with the second steep
especially mellow.

Though I had my normal Japanese kona-cha from a thermos while driving to
a friend's house, my Christmas special was a cup of...coffee. One of
the few I have during the course of a year. But it was more of an
accompaniment to dessert, a maple sugar pie that demands a foil bolder
than mere tea.

I started the day with a very nice smoky green pu-erh. After dinner, we
sampled the Huoshan Huang Ya from ITC that I'd received as a gift. All 3 of
us pronounced it smooth, sweet, and lovely. Anyone else receive or give an
interesting tea for Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever winter holiday you
happen to celebrate?

Keemun Mao Feng and lemon meringue pie! Two of my favorite things in the
world! Sounds like a wonderful pairing!
