This morning's selection:  Selimbong estate FTGFOP first-flush Darjeeling.  With cream.  Yum.

The smell of frshly-brewed Darjeeling is wafting pleasantly about the place ... I actually made the first batch of the Selimbong yesterday, but didn't use enough leaves (I remembered three scoops, while experiment shows the correct number is in fact four[1]), so I figured I should give it a fairer try today instead of sampling the Castleton.

Then I suppose it's time to make some progress on Half-Blood Prince before I become the only person on my friends list who hasn't read it yet.

[1]  But count thou not five!

Nay, Five is Right Out.

Darjeeling. *sigh* Wish I could still have full-octane... Darjeeling's so delicate it's hard to get in decaf.....

Try these sources:

Specialteas.com (http://www.specialteas.com/product_detail.aspx?item_no=122+41+00+81+1&cid=71%7C72)
Teavana.com (http://store.teavana.com/58decdar.html)
AllTea.com (http://www.allteas.com/1318.html)
Simpson & Vail (http://www.svtea.com/decaff.asp)

All four of those are decaffeinated whole-leaf Darjeelings.
