VR, may I ask if you have any preferences among the varieties of green tea?
Hey Kevin,
Miss you in the Chamber my old friend. I prefer the Lipton Green Tea with Lemon Ginseng.

Thank you, VR, and that sounds like a healthy choice.

If you have any Asian stores nearby, you might find some other varieties: sencha (morning tea), bancha (evening tea, less stimulating), dragon well, biluochun, gunpowder (named for the shape of the round pellets -- no actual gunpowder ingredients included). And of course online you could find other varieties such as "silver-tipped pine needles" or "green monkey" -- but those tend to cost more.

Thanks Kevin,
Not concerned about the cost. Trying to remember all this would be an issue. I would have to mark it down, keep in mind we are small city of immigrants, so I am sure I would find one near by. I'll have to mark that down on my to do list ,which is getting longer each day. 🙂 One would think being retired, I'd have lots of time but I tend to put too much on my plate so to speak. Going to get off of here now, so have a great evening always nice chatting with you.

🙂 Absolutely no 'slut' to beer or drinks. Also they are on the house regardless of what Stees might have to say about it. Sometimes he is too concerned about money - it might be because of his earlier career in financing.
Unlike VR, who seems to have unlimited funds, my ability to finance the Tavern relies heavily on my choices in investments and lately they have not been as effective as they were pre pandemic. I have been following the markets and have managed to be in a position, again, to be able to take care of all expenses incurred by the tavern.👍

This is good to hear, because a few years ago I invested a few dollars in 0.000245 of a SteezBit on the crypto exchange, hoping it might someday take off.

Be that as it may, this is a tavern, not a bar.

We have salted peanuts, for free, but they are not served in a bowl but in paper bags. Feel free to have some with your drink.

That is good news. I will do my best to avoid offering customers a 'one for the road' - it has given the Tavern unnecessary expenses, I admit, causing accidents and damages - sometimes they can't tell Drive from Reverse apparently.

If VR walks in and announces, 'Did you know' it will empty the place faster than a fire alarm 😉 😛 😀

I feel in the mood for a few bloody Marys and I don't want to fill up on dead pig.
