Sorry but I haven't found a tea yet that really is excellent with pizza. I say go for a Pepsi. Diet Pepsi.
Again, thanks for all the well wishes. My problem stems from a car accident a few years ago that makes me susceptible to infection in one leg/foot and I guess it's something I'll have to live with the rest of my life. Luckily, this is the first time its flared up since the accident and now I know what the first signs are so won't wait as long to go to the doctor as I did this time. Like all real men, I think doctors are a waste of money and all problems go away in time... :wink: :lol:

Back on subject- I made up a pot of Upton's Sweet Almond Green Tea. Yeah, I know what you're thinking- it sounds awful (and I'll agree with you)- but it went over better than anything else I've made recently with the family. Everyone loved it. The aroma of the tea is similar to sugar cookies and cinnamon and it had a wonderful flavor. It is definitely a re-order. Not sure it was the best thing to serve with pizza (I'd have gone with a Lapsang but the wife hates that tea), but it paired well enough.

Thanks again,

EW

Oh yeah, all this time I thought Li shan and Ali shan were the same thing- just people typed it differently or called it by a different name (like gong fu/kung fu). So, I learned something to become more tea nerdy than I already was...
