Do you know what I like? Naps. I took one today, and it was glorious. But do you know what I hate? Recovering from a nap. For such a thing today, I went for a second pot o’ tea…but I didn’t want something black and migraine-inducing.

So I went for this little lovely – a step between green and white. It was peppery, light, melon-like, and a smidge on the floral side. Truthfully, I forgot I even had it, but it sure did the trick.

Naps rock. Waking up from the nap… not so much. It’s kind of like that for me when I wake up too. Asleep mode = awesomeness. Awake mode = not so much.

And the longer the nap, the worse the wake-up.

Geoffrey Norman

@Paul – You don’t gongfu yellow tea. Might as well be drinking lukewarm water.

He really knows what he is doing! I mean why not?

Geoffrey Norman

@Paul – With the exception of most oolongs and puerhs, gongfu is entirely optional and subjective. I never found it to work with yellow tea – save for two.

Paul Götzl

Of course.. always optional.. I mean, the taste is all that counts and that you are happy, the way you bre it! :)

But I guess GFC is suitable for every tea.. but ok.. maybe if the quality is to poor, it is different.. I just drink one right now (see the link) and had now the 6th infusion, steeped for max. 10 secs.. first 2 just 5-7… and it is very sweet and the taste is there…

I moonlight as a procrastinating writer and daylight as a trader of jack. I appreciate good tea, good beer, and food that is bad for me. Someday I’ll write the great American novel. And it’ll probably have something to do with tea or beer…or both. In the meantime, I subsist.
