way back when, k+m brought us green tea from japan. the fishy neon green kind you get in japanese restaurants. the kind they probably brew in mass quantities. the kind that is usually complimentary when you dine. every time i make it, it doesn’t come out tasting right, it’s either too strong or too bitter. i think i mastered its brew today: use 2 tsp of tea (or just under the “1 tablespoon” mark on a blue MLT scoop) for 12 ounces of water at 185 degrees fahrenheit. steep for 2 mins or even slightly less.

i set the chaff on fire in the roaster today and subsequently had to open the windows and turn the fan on high so it’s pretty frosty in the house right now. i am also frosty. hence the green tea.
