Which raises a question I don't think discussed before. Does your
spouse/so also drink tea? In my domicile I pick and prepare the tea
with my wife drinking the whatever so long as it isn't some smokey
Chinese. On the weekends she'll drink hot tea but the weekdays she
likes it cold from the refrigerator after work. We have a ritual where
any tea I buy she gets to smell first too let me know if she can drink
it even is some innocuous Ceylon. It has to pass her smokey test. The
last TGY I bought just about passed that test. I was so close. She
said she could probably drink it weak and chilled with lime. She knows
when I make the Chinese teas she doesn't like and she'll let me know in
a condescending way. Other than that we're on the same tea scale. She
knows what to buy in tea accoutrements. She bought some $10 closeout
tetsubins for Christmas.
