Lucky to have you Chip, to join the Club

Hm, I don't know if I can train fukamushi (nor most Japanese teas) to to this trick. :mrgreen:

Seriously actually, wouldn't the particals pop the pearl the instant it even begins forming. Seems like a very clean liquor would be best.

Before seeing the picture, I was wondering what tea pearls were and guessing they were stuff like this:

Nice! I would say let your son pour all the time ... he is a TeaPearl natural. :mrgreen:

If I did not know any better, I would say you put vitamin E caplets in your tea.

Thank you Drax.

Mr. Sleeves is taking a much needed hiatus. He is on sabbatical brushing up on his olive pit lighting technique.
