Hi. I am Canadian of Pakistani Iranian ethnicity (born in Toronto). My Shia parents were from Pakistan...border with Iran. I have never been to Sri Lanka but had a college friend in the U.S. who was a Sri Lanka Christian (catholic...but drank like an Irishman). Really nice guy. He had his family ship him special tea and that tea was awesome. This friend cooked food so hot, I had to guzzle 3 beers with each meal. And needless to say my rear was a afire the next several days. But he was a cool dude. Not very good at the books though. But his family was quite well to do. I have my own business. Construction. Very very busy. Skilled labor is not as readily available in Canada as is in the US because we dont have too many mexicans. Good luck. Nice chatting.

srilankan tea is still ranked higher

at least in the uk, where they have some exacting tea standards. but yeah india surpassed srilanka as the biggest tea producer a while back.im not surprised!

but quality does matter

.maybe its something u guys can beat us in the near future. only time can tell.

as for me, i drink tea 2 times a day , even thou most folks in the us opt for coffee.

Yeah slowed down because I am doing a Consultancy these days as also busy with my articles.

But WAB lures me back, even at the expense of the job that I am at!

WAB does something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
WAB has the power to hypnotize me?
