I couldn't decide between pu-erh and green, but I guess I'm more like a pu-erh... I'm rare (as in a euphemism for plain old weird :mrgreen: ), usually mellow with a strong personality but can be bitter if mistreated, and if people get to know me, they seem to either love me, hate me, or some mix of both :lol: .

Right now, I'm drinking some "Dragon Ball Tea" (green tea pearls with jasmine-- I had to get this particular kind because the name is so similar to one of the first animes I ever watched :) ), which will be followed later on in my homework by some looseleaf pu-erh, and then probably some white tea before bed.

I picked flavored tea for my personality.
My personality is a bit colorful and I want to please everyone. If i get embarrassed, i tend to get bitter. lol
My personal choice of tea is black, but not my personality. :)

yours in tea

Heh, another slow TD, I guess everyone stopped drinking tea with the advent of Spring? :lol:

TD continued with the mystery sencha from Ryu Mei. Currently Gamro (Hydrangea leaf) Korean "tea" from hankook ... *likes it* :mrgreen:

Today's tea day started with a magical cup of Dens anniversay tea sample, a sencha extra green with matcha and a sprinkle of gold leaf

Then some equally magical (but not as sparkly!) 'Precious rare white tea'.
Ooops, thanks for coloring this TD with gold, debunix! Can you feel the gold as you drink it? :mrgreen:

Yes, the little gold flakes did stand out a bit as textures, but not with any noticeable flavor. A lot of them simply clung to the glass.
