A nice example of an aged TGY
I just finished a session of the real oolong, Alishan, this one from Adagio.
And now Chiran YM, blended from O-Cha and Lupicia.

+1
-1 to 100th power ... chocolate when paired with Japanese green tea enhances brain power 243.7%, obviously!

I love chocolate (in small amounts) with my tea, too, and said so above.
The problem was that there was no way to vote for chocolate AND sweet snacks AND salty snacks... so I had to cast my vote for "Other".

Tonight I am drinking some FLT Taiwan Wuyi that I have enjoyed very much. Smells like berries and tastes like peaches and apricots.

This statement disproves its self: Chip drinks lots of green tea and eats chocolate. Chip writes "-1 to 100th power" to increase the value of "-1," but negative to the 100th is in fact 1. This proves that Green tea with chocolate infact decreases chips brain power [though maybe not by 243.7%.]

I almost always have chocolate with my tea
Only tea for me today was the generic green tea served by the local sushi place. It wasn't bad but it wasn't that great either.

I picked other, too.
I grew up drinking iced tea (yeah, yeah...I know - southern sweet tea should be a seperate food group!) and spent time in the Far East. So, I can and do drink tea often with any type of food.

"Other" because I think the right tea pairs with anything!
