A Good Cup of Tea...6th Oct

Finally found one! At about the 1st decent cafe I've found too! (Not saying there aren't any, just it's been hard seeing the wood through all the (chain-restaurant) trees.

May I congratulate the Daily Grind cafe in Cambridge Wisconsin (a truly pleasant looking little town) for providing proper cups of hot tea, with milk!

I couldn't stay long tho, as I had to move on into Illinois.

The main news in the Wisconsin Journal that morning: America's Dairyland (according to the license plates), Wisconsin, is worrying that California may yet overtake it as the nation's top cheese producer. It was conceded that California captured the top milk producing position around 10 years ago, yet cheese hold's a special place in Wisconsin's history and pride. It's still a few million pounds per annum ahead, yet the West Coasters are rapidly advancing. The article then provided one of those inane yet 'fun' comparison lists between the states - you know like the ones that appear in NZ comparing Auckland with the rest of the country from time to time. It seems that California is the Auckland of the USA midwest, whenever these matters arise.

You can't overvalue a decent cup of tea!! I really feel for you.

It does sound easier than Noumea though.

Good luck on your continuing quest for proper tea.

I'm off for a quiet cuppa!
