i used to drink black tea as a child. the dregs of what were left in my dad's cup -- earl grey or jasmine tea, with sugar and milk. to me, earl grey with sugar and milk conveys images and tastes of childhood. i see myself lying on the carpet of my parents' study in our house in bielefeld -- my parents reading a newspaper or dozing of, me reading a book, and nipping at the last sips of the tea. perhaps i even got my own cup, i don't remember, and maybe it was decaf. but i loved that flavor.
i'm drinking some now.
