Not sure how much I care about public writing anymore (that is to say, I don’t care about it at all). Yet, I like this space, and I enjoy having a site, separate from any social media. Writing should have a purpose, and this one seems to be gravitating towards keeping a log, a list, of the teas that I buy and drink.

Here it is, my teas.

I am updating it, and will be adding more when my new small parcel comes in. Cold months see a decline in green teas and a rise in oolongs (autumn) and blacks (winter). With greens, genmaicha becomes a go-to, since it’s lighter and I can drink it in bigger quantities, but I mostly drink blacks. Keemun was my most frequent choice last year or two. And this year I am still undecided. Possibly because it’s harder to find a decent Keemun, but also because I don’t really mind drinking big quantities of a more common Ceylon tea, of supermarket quality, but only if supermarket has Twinings or Fortnum & Mason (they lately don’t).

I might write something about tea, or possibly something else. Or I might disappear again into the offline where I drink tea, read books, and worry about the world and Ukraine. It’s been 1001 days of the effing war. Ukraine will not be obliterated, even though some monsters would like to see that happen very much.
