Tea

I like Tea, it relaxes me.

If I want to relax I'll drink tea over wine (Black Tea with 10% Cream no sugar).

In the Morning I drink White Tea or Green.

Tiequanyin Tea, aka Iron Buddha.

My dads friend gave him and I about 1oz of tea that cost $1500kg, yeah about $1.50 a gram.

I like my black teas from India/Sir lanka, my Green from China none of that rice toasting Japanese stuff.


I think I'll review my teas tho I need to make a standardized test, 1tea spoon 30secs 1/2cup water? I'll see what I can think of.
