Ag iarraidh taennaí eile

D'inis mé agaibh faoi tae nua an aiste seo caite. Tá mé ag ple an ábhar tae seo níos mo anseo. Cad raibh cineálaí éagsúlaí tae ábalta fáil mise?

Téigh go mo chistin. Oscail an doras cupaird. Céard gheobhaidh mise istigh ann?

D'ól mé tae cuirín dubh le Ahmad le Londain inniu. Tá blas finéalta ach dana ann. Déanann déantóir sin fanaile agus sméaraí measctha freisin. Ceapaim siad go bhfuil chomh blasta fós.

Is maith liom marcannaí tae le táirgtheoirí eile. Mar shampla, cheannaigh mé tae dubh Bricfeasta Sasanaigh is fusa le margadh Úr agus Furasta. Go raibh fíorshaor ar an shladmhargadh ach aontaim go mbeadh den chéad scoth air.

Thairis sin, ólaim tae Bricfeasta for-Éireannach go minic le chomlacht Stash ina gcathair na Tír na bPort ina h-Oireagan. Tá boladh láidir agus úrrunta as. Oibríonn sé go suaimhneach leis bainne agus siúcra.

Tá cuimhne liomsa de rud eile ó bhaile in aice leis an gcathair Naomh Proinsias. Tugadh tiosán liom ó An Phoblacht Tae faoi deireanach. Measaim an tae glas sin créúil agus úrach.

An bhfaighidh cumaisc níos mo le Seosamh an Trádálaí. B'fhéidir, gheobhaidh mé. Mar sin féin, ní dhíolann sé níos mo chomh níos luath air ansúid.

Bhí mé go cur cuairt an siopa sin a cruinniú tae dubh le Kandy ina An tSiolóin fadó. Ní bhfuair mé sé ar chor ar bith ansin. Ámarach, imeoidh mé go áit eile a ceannach an tae Siolóinaigh  nua le Dilmah go raibh ag scríobh mise faoi an am le déanaí!

Searching for other teas.

I told all of you about a new tea in this last entry. I'm discussing more tea matters now. What other kinds of different tea am I able to find?

Go into my kitchen. Open the cupboard door. What will you find inside there?

I drank a blackcurrant tea from Ahmed of London today. The flavor's delicate but bold. That manufacturer makes a vanilla and a mixed berries too. I think they may be as tasty also.

The tea brands please me from other makers. For example, I bought a simple dark English Breakfast tea from the Fresh & Easy Market. It may be dirt-cheap as a store bargain but I agree that it's of the first quality.

Furthermore, I have been drinking Super-Irish Breakfast often from the Stash Company in the city of Portland in Oregon. There's a strong and hearty smell from it. It works smoothly with milk and sugar.

I am reminded of another one from a town near the city of San Francisco. A tisane from the Republic of Tea was given to me lately. I judge that green tea to be earthy and fresh.

Will I get more brands from Trader Joe's? Maybe I will. All the same, it does not sell as many as before over there. I used to pay a visit to that shop to gather dark tea from Kandy in Sri Lanka long ago. I don't find it there anymore. In the future, I will go off to another place to purchase new Ceylonese tea from Dilmah that I had written about last time!
