but I really like Twinings Darjeeling. It's awfully nice. "Yum." I think to myself when drinking it. "This is nice."

if I've ever drunk camomile tea it reminds me of the smell of an empty hay barn (and then - rather evocatively - reminds me of playing in empty hay barns when I was a nipper)

... I have no corresponding anecdot with which to respond. That's not to say something liek this didn't happen, I just don't remember one as fact... I have recollections of someone falling down the grain shaft, but it might be I've created this because of all the warnings I received to make sure I never fall down teh grain shaft.

I think it's pot puri with fruit syrup added to it (either as dust or as a soak)... if you take bits of fruit and leaves and stuff and add boiling water to they you don't ever get the vibrant colour and tase you get with the tea bags...

Coffee in the morning please, fresh, black, bitter, strong and ideally with a nip of Woods.
Tea is delicious. Twinings is the best. Earl Grey is refreshing and zingy. Milk no sugar for me please.
Chamomile tea is excellent for panic attacks. All other herbal teas are WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Thank you for listening.

WAIT A MINUTE, she's taken off her glasses and now I have a completely different opinion and I actually don't mind the look of her! At last - I can permit myself to love her. So long hot but ultimately not nice girl, you're ass is dumped in a manner that you can't believe, especially given your higher social ranking

Apparently it is half a Stella, a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and, optionally, a double vodka.
Tastes of fuck all and is quite strong. This seems to be a fashion in drinks that i just don't understand. I may be a raging drunk but I at least like my liver-necrosing poison to have some kind of flavour.

www.aberlour.com/abunadh/ ... the important bit being:
Today most malt whiskies are chill-filtered to prevent the whisky becoming cloudy when adding water or ice. This process, which did not exist in the 19th century, removes some richness and mouth feel as well as some fruit and sherry character.

the people who buy this young whisky have very little interest in someone bringing out 'real' whisky and saying 'all that other stuff is pish!' so it doesn't happen much.
