Speaking of tea…
Thanks to my sister I’ve been drinking alot of this green tea called Kukicha or Twig Tea. Its really good and tastes like a forest or something, I can’t quite put my finger on it. After a little research I have read that it is a balance between bittersweet and umami (one of the five generally recognized basic tastes sensed by specialized receptor cells present on the human tongue, some people would refer to it as savory). Its also macrobiotic and it supposedly balances the acidity in your body! Not only does it alkalinize your body it also is a good source of calcium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, and fluoride! I could go on and on, but really its just tasty.
Carmen, and 
Olga are discussing.

So I’m reading your comments on the twig tea… zinc, yeah ok, copper, good, manganese, healthy, fluoride SCREECH HALT WHAT!!! FLUORIDE? You mean the very same that the Germans used on prisoners of war to keep them docile and dumbed-down? That fluoride? Or the fluoride that causes bone cancer in rodents? How about the fluoride that causes brain damage due to fluoride toxicity? Are you drinking that fluoride? If you think I’m over reacting to the dangers of fluoride Carmen.. you have nobody but yourself to blame. I took your suggestion about podcasts from http://www.howstuffworks.com I can not say enough about their podcast! I love it, I listen to it every day on my way to work. You should listen to the one on fluoride, you might think twice about adding more of that toxic mineral to your diet!

Whoa, wow, ok ok I will do that! I assumed it was the fluoride put in the water in Texas that made my teeth so strong but I obviously don’t know that much about fluoride. I’m really glad you’ve been liking the podcasts, you must be learning alot! I’ll have some more podcast recommendations for you soon. Until then I’m gonna keep drinking this tea even though it might have fluoride in it. It comes from twigs! How bad can it be!

That sounds lovely, but I’m a sucker for matcha. Matcha’s powdered green tea leaves that you mix with water to create a beautiful jade tea with froth.
Or you can just snort lines of it.
XXXO,
