Show off your best tea pearls! Video or Photo will do.

OK, so these "Tea Pearls" are actually tea liquor pearls, not the common air bubbles? A new sensory perception.

Hm, I don't know if I can train fukamushi (nor most Japanese teas) to to this trick. Seriously actually, wouldn't the particals pop the pearl the instant it even begins forming. Seems like a very clean liquor would be best.

Same here.

I thought of these

I shot this while my son poured:

Nice! I would say let your son pour all the time ... he is a TeaPearl natural. If I did not know any better, I would say you put vitamin E caplets in your tea.

Wow, now that's a great picture, biohorn! Makes a much less freaky avatar, too, hahaha. Though I will miss Mr. Sleeves.

Thank you Drax.
