They sit on shelves upstairs, in our house. The humidity in England is high, and in Oxford particularly so - we have two rivers, a canal, and a large nearby marshland! Of course, it Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-88316179818360079282010-08-28T15:22:51.204+01:002010-08-28T15:22:51.204+01:00I wonder how you store your teas (for ripening, I ...I wonder how you store your teas (for ripening, I mean), given the not-so-conducive European climate? Seems to me like it's difficult to keep moisture AND Temperature right.<br />Above 20°C - we might get that a few weeks in summer, if we are lucky. Or, in a heated room temperature may be right, but moisture far too low ... How do you deal with that?<br /><br />If I may leave another comment Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-23661758371489972522010-08-18T11:38:12.067+01:002010-08-18T11:38:12.067+01:00Dear Travis,

I appreciate your generosity, however.<br /><br /><br />Dear Cecil,<br /><br />I'm very sorry to hear about your difficulties; it sounds as if you're on the road to recovery now, however.

Things went from bad to worse with a detached retina and everything that this means. Moved back to Bangkok this July and had one more operation on the eye. <br /><br />I brought all my tea back and the accessories as well.

It's called Tipu's Chai and it's an organic chai tea that's fair-trade and made from a recipe passed down through the owner's family directly from Gujarat, India.<br /><br /> Their instant chai is unsweetened and contains no milk products, so it&#Travishttp://tipuschai.comnoreply@blogger.com
