This morning I had a few cups of Miyabi sencha to part the haze of sleep. On a normal day, you don't necessarily need any more boost to get through the day.
So are we done? Heck no!
It's too nasty outside to go play, so it's time to get teadrunk.
Tea? How about a little yerba in the mix.... [digs around, produces re-purposed Adagio sample tin containing...] Guayaki!
The Guayaki was a hardcore deep brown, with a pleasant "Saturday morning" sort of aroma and a light smokiness it took my a while to put words to.
I liked it. Time passed.
What will pair well with chicken, veggies, and rice for lunch? How about one of these nameless tuo cha salsero sent me?
These are compressed single-serve shou puerh tea nuggets, and need to be rinsed a bit in boiling water to open them up for the actual infusion process.
After that, they're good for multiple infusions.
Time passes. So..... What else is in this box here?
Next comes Lochan Premium Assam Tips, 2nd Flush.
Wow, is this some good tea, perhaps the most enjoyable of the day thus far. (Not turning my back on Miyabi, Ed, I swear!)
There are far worse ways to spend a day after a long week's work than with tea and snacks.
But even at work, I manage to treat myself a bit.
Yesterday, for instance, I was breaking in a new gaiwan at the office, which I saw fit to record for posterity.
