Coincidence

I was drinking tea today, and when I was about to refill my cup I noticed a happy face. The tea leaves happend to arrange themselves in an usual way. Since the odds of getting a recognizable shape is pretty slim, I decided to take a picture. Is this a sign from the tea god?

    Roba, not sure. I heard of qari2 il finjan ahwe but not qari2 finjan shay ;)

    Chyna, glad you thought it was cute!! And no need to be sarcastic about my photography skills :|

    Sinan, tea bags don't give the same taste. It's either all about all fashioned.

    Jawaher, I think so too. I wonder if tea bags feel proud that I drink them :)

    Ghalia, my day was pretty good, and actually the happy face did make me smile.

    Dina, is there a greek myth of a tea goddess, if so I want to know more :P Do you mostly use tea bags, or loose leaf?

    Lasto, batman eh, you should have taken a picture ;)

    I salute all tea drinkers here, and "Tea" meaning Loose Tea and not tea bags.

    For those who don't know the difference between Tea and Tea Bags, I would say the taste of Tea Bags is 2 Dimensional, while Loose Tea is 3D.

    In a more formal way, Tea Bags contain what is called "Tea Dust", while Loose Tea is the processed tea leaves, and when collected, a lot of tea dust remains. In 1903 Thomas Sullivan (American) shipped his first tea bags to the world. Then in 1915 Thomas Lipton introduced a more "advanced" tea bags. And to put it in a less formal way, Tea Bags are simply Junk Tea.

    As for Loose Tea, people have been consuming it for over 5000 years. All teas come from the same plant which was first found in China. The kind of tea depends on the way it is processed and the place where it is cultured.

    In China alone, they have 1500 different types of Green Tea, not to mention Black, Red, Yellow, White and Blue.

    A small advice, don't add sugar to your tea and you will then start differentiating what is good tea and what is bad.

    Got to go, TEA TIME! :)
