I’ve been a tea lover for a couple of years now, ever since a friend of mine introduced me to Adagio Teas, but I may have stepped into the realm of a junkie in the past week.

My current brew of choice is Japanese sencha from Teavana. It has the bitter (but not too much) and almost seaweed taste that I’ve come to love in green tea. It smells like leafy, healthy green vegetables in the tin and while it steeps, and its color is perfect! As a matter of fact, I’m currently working on my third cup of the day while writing this! If you’re not into the bitterness aspect, you may want to read about sencha’s health benefits. Of all the teas I keep in my desk at work (rooibos’ are also a favorite), it’s the sencha I keep coming back to. I’d drink more tonight if I didn’t have a bottle of sake waiting at home.
