I fear you may have missed the point of Orange Pekoe Tea, sw. It is the finest part of the leaf that makes regular tea, only it tastes much betterer than your PG tips and Typhoo style ****. The latter two are made from the stuff that falls through the sifting process. Or tea dust, if you will.

Sir C and his glw came back from SL and informed me with glee that my surname is the word for the sweepings on the floor of a tea factory.

Did you go up the tea country? Around Hatton? I love it up there.

Dunno if it was Hatton but would make sense as it was on a drive from Galle to Kandy.

I stayed for a few days in an old tea planter's house on a plantation, refurbished to 1930s colonial splendour.

Let's be frank, after about 10 minutes I was horsewhipping coolies and generally behaving like a colonial tyrant
