Your description of your morning ritual is much like mine, but my love affair is with that old fellow named Starbucks, who was born and raised right here in the neighboring town of Seattle. Try as I might to break free of his hold on me, I keep coming back for more!

I too love to try different flavours. I still will though Ceylon has dominated my taste for the time being.

You are obsessed with tea and you experienced different taste. That’s just great! I really like the way you explain about tea affair. I’m fascinated that one humble plant can be rolled, processed, teased into so many creative permutations. My tastes aren’t that refined yet but I would say I like certain teas from certain brands and some of them are found at the grocery. It is the only drink (other than water) that I drink all day, every single day. I haven’t ever really given this much thought. If it makes me go “OMG” and my eyes bulge out of my head, then it’s too much), I don’t generally purchase it without having tried it. However, I do consider myself a “taster” rather than someone who commits themselves to certain teas. That is to say, I enjoy trying new teas, having several cups of a tea… but once I’ve finished the package, I don’t usually buy it again (Except when I'm in love with its taste. (Any Persian will tell you that they love to drink Chai, pronounced Cha-ee (We call it Chai in Persian). Tea, in general, is what Persians drink in the morning, after each meal, and not to mention throughout the day. Additionally, the first drink that one if offered when visiting someone else’s home is usually tea. Iranians make tea in their own way. Have you ever tried tea with Persian style?A Room of One's Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506826906511625963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450131.post-19060619014006012352016-06-17T13:39:27.605+05:302016-06-17T13:39:27.605+05:30Oh, good ol' Parle-G, how nice!

Also, Khaaris are a delight with tea. I also loved a specific Mangalore snack made of sweet potato along with my tea. I had to go back and include some of the details on the snacks after seeing your comment. Thanks. Among biscuits, I like Parle-G. :-)AJEYA RAOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770471904480140472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450131.post-64177625363113827502016-06-16T11:49:48.928+05:302016-06-16T11:49:48.928+05:30I totally forgot to write about the supplementary ...I totally forgot to write about the supplementary snacks that go down with tea in my house. Like your maternal grandma, my maternal uncle introduced the tradition of bread slices as accompaniment with the morning tea in my childhood. Bread dunked in milk till us kids were about eight years old or so. We looked forward to visits from the Khaari-biskoot wale Uncle with a tin trunk on his head doing morning rounds of our society. He would have freshly baked fruit buns, plain buns, khaari- toasts-naankatai- all sorts of lovely tea snacks us kids gorged hungrily on empty stomachs. :-D <br />Some days we also dunked hot chapati/roti rolls in tea. My granny insisted on chapati replacing bread in our diets back then. Now, it's usually an oat cookie or two with the tea, but I long for those days of shared tea snacks with cousins. Your post took me back into such a nostalgic era of childhood memories. Thank you. :-) May our tribe of tea drinkers grow well and large in numbers. :-)Sharayu...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11577133346417060682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450131.post-66778601489359951332016-06-16T11:12:23.071+05:302016-06-16T11:12:23.071+05:30:-) True, Loved your story too.

Just a little, so that it does not dominate the taste of the tea leaves which I love so dearly. :-)AJEYA RAOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770471904480140472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450131.post-43107429708884093992016-06-16T10:02:25.319+05:302016-06-16T10:02:25.319+05:30Aah!

Tea tradition in my house is with my Dad brewing the first morning round of tea for himself, mum and me. Then, after breakfast mum and me have another round of tea with ginger and my favourite ingredient, some mint leaves. The aroma is rich and lingering. My mum makes the evening tea. When I am out for work, I always head to my regular tea maker bhaiyya's stall near People's Book House. His cardamom tea is to die for. Such simple pleasures associated with tea. Feel so good. Enjoyed reading this with a steaming adrak chai in my hand. :)Sharayu...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11577133346417060682noreply@blogger.com
