As for tea, we regularly drink Barry's here in our home. Purely delightful. I drank tea regularly as a young child in me Irish Grandmother's home.

It is Arabica coffee and Jameson. It is pretty much Irish coffee that could be made at home but with chocolate faintly added, charred oak, and coffee. The pic with the orange peel is flavorful, dark, and smooth. The whiskey tends to be covered by a lingering coffee taste. I bought it more for the limited edition bottle and I love coffee. It is decent but I won't find myself grabbing this first. When this bottle is done, I'll be keeping it for the limited edition bottle.

When of you get a bottle, let me know what you think of it. =]

Mike,

OK, thanks for the warning. Not certain I'll be buying a bottle o' that too soon. I like coffee and I like whiskey, but not certain I would like this combo. I even like Irish coffee, but I don't use real fine Irish Whiskey to make it.

I have been searching for an angel food cake pan that is not a bunt pan. Today I give up, none of the stores here have one. Amazon is a week out. Tomorrow I am going to try a thing with a bundt pan with a removable bottom. I think if I line the bottom with parchment paper this time it won't leak.

I no longer drink alcohol however, after about 40 odd years of not drinking tea or coffee at all, I've recently started drinking tea again.

My current favorite is Pu Erh and Pu Erh milk (it does not have milk in it despite the name).

I actually only started drinking tea in 2015, drinking coffee almost my whole life, I'm what we call "koffieleut" in Dutch and easily drank 10 - 12 mugs of coffee a day, made 60 - 80 hours a week as an entrepreneur for 30 years, so maybe not that strange all together. Today, with the amount of medicines I've to take, it's necessary to eat something and therefore breakfast with tea every morning is the simplest. Nowadays I'm a tea lover and only drink 2, at most 3 small cups of coffee a day.

At breakfast it's normally 'Rooibos' tea, in the afternoon usually Sencha (fermented with rice) or Darjeeling Hymalaya and Milky Oolong in the weekend, sometimes Pu-Erh with a Chinese dinner. This afternoon went to a new (Turkish) supermarket in our village - the 10th supermarket in our village with just about 30,000 inhabitants - and there I found this tea, imagine English Early Gray from Turkey sold in the Netherlands. Usually I prefer loose tea, but 48 bags for €2.49 ($2,89) is actually a bargain. Hope it tasts well!

If you go back to that market, get the regular Turkish tea. It's delish. And if you see a box of sahlep, try that too. It's a lovely warming winter drink.

I tried to send you two slices but my metered connection would not allow it. So I toasted them & ate them myself. Sorry!
