yesterday helped the new roommate move in and as fate would have it i'm a bit sore today from all the lifting. i thought i'd take my mind off my aching back with a cup of tea. this is that visually beautiful variety that at the start of the brewing process is a tightly bound ball of leaves but after steeping for 10 minutes unfolds into this little flower. too bad the resultant tea tastes like water with a flower floating in it. at least it looks pretty.
