Those that know me understand that I get into obsessive phases. Recently, I have become interested in all things tea. My christmas list is covered in tea pots and kettles and beautiful little cups and blend after blend of loose leaf tea. I can't wait to get a proper pot and a matching pair of cups and just drink tea for hours with a friend, chatting away like usual. Only with tea!
I did finally try my first cup of loose leaf tea tonight, and really, it is different. As I enjoyed the white/mate chai blend, I felt what I think coffee people feel when they drink that first sip of their morning mug: full body warmlove. Everything is instantly better and your mind stops zooming so it can go "Hey man, what you're doing there... I really like that."
I've been obsessing over every aspect of tea, especially proper brewing and the differences between a traditional Japanese tea, and a British high noon tea. Both of which are fairly involved. I'm looking into Dukan recipes for tasty cookie biscuits, but I'm not 100% sure I would be happy dipping something into this awesome mug of hot perfection that I got going on right now.
Maybe snacks are out.
Dukan calls for an increase of water, and to avoid chemical-izing my entire being, I choose you, tea. And I love tea. I've had tea my whole life. But this departure from bagged tea to loose leaf...
My world just shifted.
Well, you're so easily pleased ... it's fantastic! There's nothing like tea, and even though I'm currently having warmbodylove from my first cup of coffee, after this, tea fits me to a T :)
ReplyDeleteSee, coffee never did that to me, and now I know I was just meant to love tea. Coffee would be tasty, usually, but it wouldn't be what made my morning/life complete.
ReplyDeleteExcept maybe one, particular, brand of frozen-caramel-coffee concoction, but... alas, we can no longer speak.
lol ... you're funny.
