I am an illustrator of characters and tea is one of my favorite ideas to play with! As for drinking tea, when I am in a hurry I gravitate to tea bags and Twinnings (English Breakfast) is my favorite. I also just discovered Pukka tisanes, which I am enjoying. When I can take my time and brew a nice cup, I enjoy a nice Matcha which I purchase from Japan. I love everything about it, the ritual preparation, the implements, and particularly the lovely vibrant froth in my chawan tea bowl.
