Older son (14) played his first doubles match in the 18U group. He and his partner were pretty cheeks in losing the 1st set, but played much better in winning the 2nd. They were up in the tiebreaker but then the other team came back and won that 13-11. Oh well, it was a very close match for good experience.

That’s awesome professor and some great experience for the boys!
It’s always good to take your lumps while playing up.
I’m sure you are a proud!

Assam is the area in India where the tea is grown. It’s a terroir. Assam is in the far northeast, on the China border. It is very hot and humid there. Assam-grown tea has a pronounced malty taste.

I order by internet from an Indian company called Teabox. It’s a summer harvest tea so the 2025s are just starting to come in.

If you see Irish breakfast tea at the store, it will include Assam in the mix. Just try some breakfast teas — English, Scottish, or Irish — and see how you like it. Even regular ole Lipton is pretty good imo, but the labeled “breakfast teas” will be a little stronger.

Teabox sells tea straight from Indian tea estates. There’s a $55 dollar minimum to get free shipping. That’s a lot of money for someone who has never tried a breakfast tea at all. Another truly great Indian tea terroir are the one’s from Darjeeling. Those teas come from the foothills of the Himalayas. A better afternoon tea. Prolly the most famous tea type in the world, although I’m sure the Chinese would beg to differ.

I would first try whatever breakfast tea is at your grocer. If you like it, try Bewley’s or Thompson’s Punjab from Amazon. Great Irish blends that will use more Assam than the others. Then, if you’re really feeling it, order straight from India for 100% Assam.

I got a text the other day (who mow my yard) that they will be there on Wednesday.
Okay. That's fine. So they pulled up around 11 am CT & were done in 45 minutes. I wasn't really paying attention to what they were doing & realized things were very quiet. I looked out my front window & I see they left w/out being paid. I said WTF?
They send me a text today and want me to pay (by a link) in the text. I don't like that.
I called & spoke to a sweet thing & she put in her notes to the mowers that after mowing (my name) yard go to the door & collect before leaving. :cool:

I've heard that this is really good stuff but just don't think about (when drinking this crap) where it comes from.
