While at the PPP I picked some LiuAn Gua Pian which has always been on my shortlist of Chinese teas to buy. In fact it was the last one on my list to cross off. I feel I have to drop some change to pay for a couple of trips to the head. I brewed a cup and my head was spinning from just the aroma. I could feel my eyeballs lose grip for a split second. The taste is in the nostrils not the tongue. They are stubborn leaves to infuse. The first cup I kept spitting leaves back in the cup. The flavor and aroma is gone by the third cup. I wished I could afford to take a hot bath in this stuff. Id like a brain scan to see how much dopamine and melatonin was released. There is no long term effect just an immediate rush of pleasure sensations.
