Crazy tea

This tea is the weirdest and best tea I have ever had. It has these little popcorn type balls in it, a bunch of different types of leaves and it makes you so wired you'll be running around the house begging everyone to go for a walk after you drink it. Multiply this by ten if you drink the tea and chew on the leaves. I've gotten some of my best programming done on it too.

We're currently out and I want to order more online, but I'm debating whether I should. Between this and the free iced tea at Cafe 59, I wonder if I drink enough to get lead poisoning.

Let go. Enjoy tea. It's what made silk route legends come alive and countless stories to take form. Not sure such praise can be heaped upon coffee (far too modern!).

I would say, try online stores. The variety is mind-boggling. You know your kitchen used to have a vast collection on the top shelf near the fridge (I could never reach it). Is the collection still there?

Also, the key benefits to tea comes not from the tea itself - its from hydration. :)

I actually think we got this tea at the Super Bazaar on Sheridan in Amherst.

Machta green is so good. Paul and I tried the powder straight up the other day. I'll have to keep an eye out for Darjeelings and black Keemuns.

I think you need to try the high-mountain oolongs, the 1st flush Darjeelings and the black Keemuns before giving the honour of the "best tea" to a Japanese matcha. ;-)
