Sweet all the way for me, I reckon I would reach for some chocolate.

I'd say "sweet"-- but it's stuff like apples or dried fruit or oatmeal. For some reason, healthy food is more appealing to me than candy. My friends tease me incessantly for this. :lol:

Puerh all this afternoon and probably all night because I have epic finals on Tuesday and have to start studying like, three days ago. :oops:

I usually go for salty snack like goldfish and sweet tea, like jasmine or a molasses-y shu.


Drinking some 2006 Menghai V8, I'm loving this tea for the price.

Savory always places top but salty comes close in second. Don't find I every really tend to crave sweet.

Starting in on a second session with O-Cha's Hatsumi in a moment.

Interesting subject. Someone could do a dissertation on predicting people's favorite foods based on tea choices - or vice versa. Sweet is always my first choice so when I arrived home from a matinee after a tealess day I headed for the silver needles.

Salty/Umami are my favorites.

Shiggy Stardust is a great name for that kyusu Chip. It certainly rocks.

Late night study aid... wondering how long it may take me to walk to school tomorrow in this blizzard.
