[Quiet Man Cometh]

It surprises how many people don't seem to know what Orange Pekoe is. Apparently it was assumed around town that we had some sort of Orange Spice tea, which was merely Red Rose tea since we had nothing of the sort. No one seemed to complain about the tea not tasting like orange.

I'm a black tea fanatic myself, but I alternate with green and white to give myself a break (doctors are after me for how stong I have my tea and how often). I find I like cornflower petals in my tea, two of my favourite blends have them included. I rarely have plain green. I prefer Genmaicha, Japanese green with toasted rice.
