Why would you want to scent these Tawian leaves probably TGY with
Pomegranite or anything else.

Someone cant stand the taste of tea except if something added which
they also must like. It doesnt show up here but these are some of the
better looking leaves Ive seen from Taiwan in awhile which also grates
on my tea sensibility.

The subject of tea reading came up at Sundays Puer tasting. I am
familiar with the Gypsy ritual. However I dont know why. Was it
because they had access to tea not readily available anywhere else
because of their travels. Or was there a time in Indo European
history where people were intimately connected to tea. I dont see
that as much of a stretch because in a way tea can make choices for
you.

PS I like looking my tea leaves in the eye when I drink.

I had always thought there was a quasi-science behind reading tea
leaves and then when I asked a guy once he basically said "you look at
the dregs and if you see a horse, a heart, or whatever, you then
interpret that how you like" I had wanted so much more to be to it.

I have a few flavored teas that I think enhance/transform the tea,
jasmine green, osmanthus oolong, blackberry/sage black tea, ginger/
peach black tea, and earl grey.

Pomegranate is not one of those flavors that translates well beyond
the real, fresh, item. But it is trendy.
