Tea. A natural gift of love.
After a good night's sleep, even the darkest of yesterdays can be swept aside by the promises of a new day. Today finds the skies blue and sunny, the air warm with only a slight wind, and my breath smelling like tea. Which unto intself is interesting considering how all I had to do to acquire tea-breath was eat chocolate.
Yes indeed, it appears that you can now buy tea-flavoured chocolate.
I can't quite describe the taste, yet it undeniably resembles the taste in my mouth after having a cup of tea, made no less from fresh tea leaves. The product in question is a form of Pocky (an Asian treat consisting of long, thin cookie or bread sticks covered in chocolate) called
From Leaf. The manufacturers insist that: "Sunlight and mist turn a young leaf into tea. Tea can turn you into something new. Tea. A natural gift of love."
As far as I can tell, the
something new I've turned into is a guy with tea-breath who has not drunk tea at all today. With tea-flavoured chocolate now in existence, tea-flavoured tea can't be far behind....
Today's lesson: tea-flavoured chocolate may just be able to combat that cheap-Parisean-whore's-pet-gerbil smell I get from that
Givenchy Pour Homme cologne.
