Awabancha - 2010 Shikoku Fermented Green Tea from Norbu Tea
94

True story: I tried this right after getting out of a showing of Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Even two beers couldn’t erase the badness of that movie. Perhaps tea could do what alcohol failed to do. Thankfully, it (mostly) did. This is the anti-sencha; the anti-Japanese pan-fried green tea. There was quite a bit of complexity going on with the flavor – equal parts citrus, tang, sweetness, seaweed and a tickle of vinegar. And the best part? It was a green tea I could boil the s**t out of with a lazy brew-up.

You’re brave to bother trying to see that movie in theaters! Even the book was terrible, IMO. The Vampire Diaries and True Blood (books and movies) are way better! :)

I’m a Harry Potter fan, myself. And I thought that Robert Pattinson made a better looking wizard than he does a vampire.

@LiberTEAS – If you only saw him in Harry Potter, you’d think the boy had talent. Especially for making a Hufflepuff seem cool.

@Amy – It is…if you’re a fan of weird.

@Scott – Thank ya.

Bio

I moonlight as a procrastinating writer and daylight as a trader of jack. I appreciate good tea, good beer, and food that is bad for me. Someday I’ll write the great American novel. And it’ll probably have something to do with tea or beer…or both. In the meantime, I subsist.
