If it's from Kalchugino Metalworks in Russia,it's the real deal ........Happy Tea drinking !

Russian Tea glass holders are like straight razors in the sense that they go from plain to ornate and are highly collectible .This documentary is all in Russian but you get the gist of what's going on here. Pretty neat I thought.

This time of year in Chicago my nightly Earl Grey is soothing while the wife prefers Celestial Seasons Sleepytime.

Just found this interesting tidbit...............Russia’s national drink isn’t vodka — it’s tea | Russia Beyond the Headlines

Kusmi Tea !!...........
As I get older I find I'm getting more absolute and settled with things in my life , and this is one of them. I have mentioned Kusmi tea before and it has and is and always will be the top choice on my list of Teas. They have many different blends all of which are fantastic and I have tried many of them and never been disappointed.

their quality of tea is 100 % outstanding and that includes their bagged tea (no floor sweepings). This is their oldest and most requested blend and one of my top choices as well. Good ol' No. 108 more famously known as Bouquet of flowers and a favorite of Czar Nicholas II.

If you like Earl Grey then hang on to your Ushanka comrad cause this stuff is heaven in a Podstakkanik ! Violets are the first thing that hits your nose and not in an artificial or chemical way. Like fresh Violets ! Kusmi teas are exspensive but every penny worth it. They are available on Amazon too. Cheers ! I can make some good recommendations if you're curious at all,just ask.

I tried some homemade Kombucha last night and am not sure what to think. It was very vinegary. Is that normal?

My wife has just started making kombucha, it is very nice and easy to make. The longer you leave it to ferment, the more vinegary it tastes. If you time it right, it is delicious. Has a lot of health benefits.
