I mentioned the other blog that I was enjoying a cup of tea with black currant flavouring, and as tea is the aristocratic nectar of the masses, meaning you children, I was Inspired to share a little about it for your sipping pleasure of the eyes in perusing this.
The reason I picked up this tea was it was cheap, it was in a cute little wooden box with a sliding lid, as I love English tins and little secret wooden boxes with sliding lids, and because at one dollar a box, it makes a great Christmas remembrance which says allot, and people can enjoy for at least twenty days, as 20 bags are included.
I never make tea according to English method as it is very wasteful. Instead I have a very old Comet aluminum coffee pot of 4 cups which I perk all my tea in.
I can with one teaspoon gain 4 very good cups of tea, while the English would demand one bag of tea per cup and one bag for the pot.
I got to looking at the box this morning over breakfast as I fidget a great deal and need to keep busy, and started reading the French directions which puzzled me in the store when I saw them, as everything is in Spanish or some other worthless language now.
I noted that this tea with a very Italian name had fooled me in being Fortelli, in the company which owns it is Swiss in Nulac S. A. Taverne.
This is fascinating in commerce is the Swiss company contracts with the Ceylon people, aka, Sri Lanka, which is dusting up in that tiger war, and the Swiss then have an American distributor in Virginia providing this fruity tea to North America in Allied International Corp.
I will dedeuce that the French lable is not for France, but that this tea border hops into bilingual Quebec, as the Canucks do appreciate tea..........even if I...........well, let us just say that like Italian tar coffee, French roast burnt coffee (which I consume as I dislike the American brown stuff which looks like wood chaff), that the English with their Earl Grey are slightly on par with the Americans in their Lipton Black and Orange Pecoe teas which are quite high octane caffiene mixed with tanin.......that is why your teeth feel like they are coated as that is what this oriental blend of tea will do.
It is puzzling in the Anglo Americans love everything robust, from borboun to coffee, but then they dump quantities of sugar, cream and lemon to dilute the brew.
Mind you, I love the Black and Orange Pecoe as I candy it up with heavy cream and honey when my body will take it, but as of late I have been forced to reduce and mix up my tea intake.
Oh to digress, I love real raspberry flavoured coffee with heavy cream. Coffee was meant to be enjoyed in that ambrosia laden melding of flavours.
With that added note of nothing, the tea with my black currant, which smells a great deal like that fruity old cough syrup, is Ceylon.
Ceylon is a beautiful light tea of the dark teas. It is more robust than Darjeeling which is the epitome of teas and my choice as it comes from the mountain valleys of India, and puts to shame the Oolong which is one step above those horrid green teas like Jasmine.
No I do not drink green teas. I loathe them like chewing on under ripe melons.
This Ceylon though is a very good tea for this fruity mix, but if I mix in cream it gets lost in the taste, so one must enjoy it specifically under certain conditions.
The Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Lipton teas must be either drank hot or cold. They can not be enjoyed tepid or just off hot, as they get a film on them and that tanin starts taking over.
In the exact opposite, the Ceylon with fruit must be allowed to come down to very warm from the boil or the tea will be too aggitated in the water to escape the taste buds.
And you thought drinking tea was just sipping of gulping........temperature does matter with different teas. Weak teas one drinks warm and strong teas one drinks hot.
As this all sounds tealicious, there is a point in this, in I am fascinated by the commerce of this in this tea is sold for 1 dollars, in plastic packaging, with a milled wooden box, printed with green ink, looking quite festive, with a lable on it.
It must be picked and processed in Ceylon. It must be shipped to America, at a North Carolina port, and trucked.
In the display it was marketed as 1 dollar per container. My check out gal piped up yesterday and said, "Oh that is good tea isn't it!"
Yes it is, but what is cheap to America is an amazing thing in poverty to the slaves in Sri Lanka. This Asian slavery like Mexican and Muslim slavery is what makes this Rothschild world turn.
As I have stated, Stanley Ann Dunham had implemented her own market implosion into the third world to strip it bare.
Currently in India, peasant land owners are being paid what they think is a fortune for ancestral lands by the Rothschild group, spending it on helicopter rides and weddings as the European cartel is buying up India.
America ran through the same Californication as Jerry Brown pissed in that pot, and all those damn liberals flooded into Oregon and Washington driving up prices, showed up in Colorado, then Missouri and finally Montana driving up prices to levels that ranchers and locals could no longer afford to own land.
That is what these patricians always do, they drive up real estate in low market areas like South Dakota from 400 dollar an acre land to 50,000 dollar lots and the Californians think it is "cheap" because it is not million dollar lots, and they move into states like Montana which were Republican and start voting for Obama liberals, drive up taxes because they vote in all those socialist programs and then bitch about how fricking bad things are like California.
This Stanley Ann Dunham monetization of the 3rd world is the problem in all of this as it is intended. Understand that Ronald Reagan in his free trade meant to elevate all South American, Japanese etc... to American high wages as trading partners.
The cartels got a hold of this and instead have been driving down wages in the west to Chinese slave labor and then importing Muslims or Mexicans to replace the Americans or French to work cheap and be disposable.
China currently is a feudal state worse than the communist state of Mao. The rich are living like kings and the peasants are being worked to cripple status and being disposed of. No nation can compete with a people who abuse their citizens so harshly, but that is what is intended and is being carried out.
Understand please that there is nothing wrong with dollar a day wages in Sri Lanka for dollar a box tea, providing that the Rothschilds are not going in buying up land from the locals and creating massive inflation for the financiers as was carried out by Soros and Buffett in these United States in 2008.
When the poor have Obama stealing old cars for them, so now cars prices are inflated, it is no different than the poor Mexican being screwed over by unions or the poor Ceylonese working for peanuts and then having the cartels sell their soul for all those cheaply made goods, priced expensive coming out of China.
In this tea, the Swiss are middle owners who never see this tea. They contract it out, and they take a penny product and turn it into a 99 cent profit, even with international shipping and American domestic shipping.
That is the commerce which created the massive fortunes in the west, and as stated it is just fine when the predators are not buying up the lands in the slave nations ending their dreams of a better life and stripping Americans bare of their American Dream.
The wicked fact is a store like Cabelas will sell an Asian made shirt for like 50 dollars. That shirt from Asia costs there only pennies. That same price gouging is what Bill Gates does as Microsoft in gouging Americans while employing 3rd world imports to work cheaply.
Walmart is making that same fortune, but cutting costs which drives mass produced sales, but it is the same robbing Peter to pay Michelle Malkin's relatives.
This robbery under pirate Obama is the reason the entire system is imploding, as they intend it to implode so they can gain complete control and condition the western peoples to be like servitude eastern peoples again.
It is all in reading the tea leaves of what works and what does not work.
Here am I though fascinated by my little tea box of wood as the wood is open grained like oak, and yet in the fingernail test it is quite soft like a basswood.
It is a very pretty wood, with the end grain actually close which is puzzling. It apparently glues up well, and the ink on it does not bleed, so reading the letters is easy.
I realize some Obama global warmer is thinking about cutting down the trees, but that makes me wonder what genus of tree this is from Asia as it is a remarkable wood for packing and is quite light.
I believe I will store wooden matches in mine or a sewing kit when the tea is gone, but being frugal is my nature and why I like tea, and why I do not just see a box of tea, but see the entire economic picture of what is right with American and wrong with the Obama nation rapists.
I guess it is time to go have dinner and enjoy an Anjou Pear..........that is another story.
