Irish Breakfast from Happy Lucky's Tea House

Bonnie drank Irish Breakfast by Happy Lucky's Tea House

Off to Boulder today to celebrate Scheys 19th birthday! I kept asking her to invite people,but she wanted to spend the day with me. What a sweet granddaughter! (Good thing she loves tea!) We have plans to stop at several tea houses.
OK…like many of you,I enjoy a strong cup of tea in the morning. I’m driving more than usual,so I made a pot of strong tea (steeped 7minutes) then added cream and splenda. Love the strong brew!Never makes me jittery either.

Off to a great day and photos.

How nice…! We drank tea and I’ll post some pictures. I made a fuss at the Dushanbe about how they made my Pu-erh (about 3 grams in a 20oz pot for 5 minutes makes a weak tea!)…I became BONNIE TEA NERD! Talked to the manager and asked them to also provide the option of a gaiwan (which the server had never heard of). I’m just too terrible!
