Ah yes. But where do Tesco position them? In the posh biscuit isle right next to the Chocolate Hobnobs.

So if you have had to let your pastry chef go, and you still find yourself short a few million, you can look like you are buying Chocolate Hobnobs but slip the Bourbon Creams into the shopping trolley. [:)]

It is nice. Very nice tea.

I buy my tea in loose weight from a specialized tea store. I asked for a tea with flavour from the European raspberry and got this tea. So I am sorry to say that I do not really have any information to share.

After all this heavy fighting, I need a cup of warm, refreshing, tea.

I would join you but I've put a couple of beers in the fridge earlier and am now in the mood to polish them off.

I have an unopened pack of Chinese green tea called "Special Gunpowder" which I'm not prepared to open.


I'm actually wasting time this morning to delay getting down to doing some unpleasant admin and, for reasons too complicated to explain here, came across this odd bit about how wild boar are hunted:


"In Nepal, farmers and poachers eliminate boars by baiting balls of wheat flour containing explosives with kerosene oil, with the animals' chewing motions triggering the devices."

From: https://www.umiteasets.com/tea-leaves/g ... eaves.html

"Special Gunpowder"?? This may be a black tea, not green tea.
love the way you lie

Sounds nice.

But since I am lazy I am going for a brew of hot tea.
