It tastes considerably nicer than normal tea or than urine? If the latter, how do you know?

I’d much rather have a nice normal cup of tea, but if it’s plain green tea you like, I do enjoy 1) plain green tea, 2) plain green tea with burnt rice, which I will explain in a bit if you haven’t had that, and 3) jasmine or green tea with jasmine.

Burnt rice– is what you get when you put a small pan on a hot stove and heat up a cup of rice until it pops, like popcorn. A pinch in a cup, or a spoonful in a pot of green tea, gives it a rather distinctive flavour. Yummy.

Mike: I don’t want to get into that discussion with you, I think I’d regret the outcome.

Ili: nice to see you here! green tea with burnt rice sounds interesting, I shall have to give it a try some time.

I’ve had Japanese tea with rice before now. It’s very nice.
