yeah! i drink all kinds of teas-- chai is usually a cheap assam + spices (i drink cheap assam regularly). the thing is it needs sugar to bring out the flavor, and it's best with milk, so i only drink it in winter when i need to pork up for the season, ha ha. i had assam (with cream) a couple of days ago. nice & warming.

im sitting with a large glass of sencha right now, like a japanese sararyman-- sencha is good and all, but not enough caffeine to stand up to the snow outside. at least in the morning. afternoon i can always have tea because i can start to wind down-- my favorite right now is a blend of keemum and lapsang and other smoky teas.

i'm stuck with coffee by necessity until the days get a bit longer-- prolly february... then my brain switches.
