Ok i choose 40 just because it was higher than average. While I mainly drink tea for the taste, there are some teas/tisanes that I cannot drink because of the smell (chamomile just gives me a headache). While other times the smell is rather inviting like a really earthy puerh. Hopefully my experience percent will increase when I try gong fu brewing (using the pot RemedialLogic gave me :D thx again).

Candles and incense a must in my home. I love the smell of herbals like lavendars and rosemary, however I do like my tea..... well, just tea!

But the aroma, smell of green tea in a preheated kyusu, well, that's the best next to the aroma of the leaves when the water is poured over them. And then when the cup is lifted to my mouth, well, the aroma sets the stage for the taste!
Have a great TeaDay everyone!
