New here, but here's my tea today ....
I usually drink my tea along, a respite from a busy house. Right now, I'm enjoying a cup of Citron Green while listening to Emiliana Torrini. The cup before this was Casablanca Twist. At a local shop this morning I had a completely horrid cup of Peppermint (taste grass) and this morning at home I had my usual pot of Irish Breakfast. Hope everyone has a good night.

Touché and bottoms up!Chip wrote:I cannot envy someone who is drinking Kago leaf...as long as I am drinking Kago leaf...
I am so totally in thrall to this Yutaka Midori tonight I can't contain myself (no, that's not what I meant!) I guess I've been drinking Guricha, Kabusecha, Den's Maki, and Gyokuro Kim lately. They are all kind of smooth and sissified. Yutaka Midori is like going back to the hard stuff; it's a revelation.
In the cup: fukamashi senca

It's good to know I'm not the only fragrance freak out there.Victoria wrote:Thanks Sal, I missed Trioxin's comment initially. I think "chicks" dig guys who smell good - period. A tea scent would be a plus. A niche tea scent - even better. Guys want girls to smell good, but they don't want to reciprocate? What's up with that?Trioxin wrote: Currently wearing L'Artisan Parfumeurs Tea for Two (chicks dig it)
Thanks Trioxin, you smell great! For me today a tea note based scent too, although not niche. It's JLo's Still which has notes of tea and sake.
At work now and testing Just4Tea TGY - Too roasted for me. Not my thing. Smoky, charcoal with a bite. The leaves smelled like coffee to me. I had to toss the first steep. This one is at least drinkable.
