Tea time!

(I actually took these pictures first thing this morning but I’ve been in meetings and rather all over the place since, so I’m only getting around to posting them now.)

I woke up this morning from a real live sunbeam, a proper blue sky bright through the window for a few hours, and decided to celebrate with one of my favourite tea, a kukicha! It has a bright, herbalicious taste, and is not only the leaves of the tea plant but also the stems!

Tea time!

I did not sleep well and my pain is ... not great today, so this morning I wanted something a little stronger than usual.

Organic teas from Japan are starting to really become very complex and tasty, so today I am trying an organic sencha (green tea) that is a little more on the herbaceous and umami side than on the floral/sweet side.

I really love it! It reminds me of summer, and considering it's been rainy and foggy for three days straight, I can use more sunshine in a cup right now.
