photo: Chai 2005


I was brought up in a culture where daily life is punctuated by people gathering around a pot of chai. Even the cricket matches have a designated break for tea. So, now that I am older, I am drawn to different types of tea from around the world. About a year ago, a friend of mine introduced me to gun powder tea. It is a green tea originally from China, although now it is seen all around the Asian continent. In English, it is known as gunpowder tea because every single leave is rolled to a small black pellet and as you steep these pellets they unwrap "exploding" with flavor.
I recently received a packet of this tea as a gift and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. If you get a chance to try this tea, don't pass up the opportunity.

Hey you, Monday night team can all make it next week (11/13), can you meet up with us at 7? We're thinking probably Clara's but open for other options. Left a message on your vmail too! Email me or give me a ring a ding ding.

Vandenboom!
I got your call, but I was in class. I think next week sounds perfect. I get out of class at 6:50pm and I will head to which ever restaurant. 7:15 would be a little better for me. Let me know if you change plans from Clara's to any other restaurant, so I don't go to the wrong place.

ROCK.

We'll probably be getting over there around 7:15 as well. Do you have any other suggestions besides Clara's? Don't want to fall into a rut but it's a good location and good variety of food...
