camaraderie over a cuppa

it happened just a while back with my latest Russian acquaintance, Svetlana. the wife of a friend of ours, she has come to this desert land to be with het husband for a while...and she has shared a very coveted passion -- my love for pure Darjeeling tea.
when we called them over for tea, i was apprehensive about what i would serve them. to my utter surprise, she not only relished the first cup, but even asked for a second... i was amazed and happy. das vidaniya, Svetlana...
