This is very good, but not quite as good as last time. It has a burnt quality to it that I just don’t feel like today – I think today might just not be the right day for this tea. It’s not illicit library tea. It’s not voting day tea. It’s not bad tea. It’s …

Kotobuki – Lupicia
This is illicit library tea. Before anyone gets on my case, please know that the tea is on the windowsill, FAR away from any books and/or my desk. And I create far less of a disturbance this way than by running between the library and my apartment every time I need to have some tea. Okay? Okay. …
