What a difference a week makes
2 Saturdays ago I was feeling anxious in the morning, so I decided that I needed to sit with some tea. Since I had just gotten a new box of tea, I decided to try the Kenyan green tea. While I have had this tea a couple of times before, I have noticed that each batch comes out differently as it is an artisinal small batch tea. The first bag I ever tried was great. The second bag I got was horribly bitter if brewed per instructions, but was fantastic when brewed in a gaiwan. I noticed a slight whiff of smoke when I opened this bag. Uh oh, smoked tea tends to give me an upset stomach. Still, I had to try it and see what was going on. Since I was feeling a bit tense, I decided to use my gong fu set. When looking at my tea pets, I decided that I needed to drink with my bat. I was contemplating the meditating monks since I was feeling tense, but they weren't conveying their zen vibes to me. Bats are supposed to be good luck in certain parts of the world, and gosh darn it, my bat is cut...
