The tea is poured

A pale orange colour when poured. Forgot the most important pic of us tasting tea, but it was great. Not as strong as we had thought, and obviously we drank it without milk. Mixing it with anything else would truly be a waste of this champagne of teas.

Thinking of the prices that it goes for, and the size of the packet (from a relative in Paris, who knows someone who works in the tea shop), this must be an expensive packet of tea and we are very lucky to have been sent one.

We believe that the other meaning of FTGFOP is true.

We try the tea!

After probably two years in the cupboard, we finally tried some jutlibari tea. Unfortunately it was over a year too late for my Dad - that last Christmas he was very ill and I had flu. So a few weeks ago I decided the time was right. We found the packet out of the cupboard and put on the kettle. We also had to locate a tea pot and tea strainer - all very traditional.

We were all nervous that it would not live up to expectations, despite great reviews from German, Japanese and French web sites as well as reports from the tea auctions. But would we really like it, who normally drink PG, Tetley and Twinings.
