Favorite Mahjongy-Tea
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2012 5:14 pm
Slow day... so why not stir up the Off-Topic forum!
I realize there is no such thing as a Mahjong-Tea. But you often see them serving tea in Mahjong Parlos (at least the few shots I've seen and in the Shin Janki movies). I have no idea what they serve there - I'm guessing some type of Green Tea. In the orient, apparently, tea is rather popular.
My choice of tea (whether playing Mahjong, reading about mahjong or any other time of the day!) is a loose-tea Jasmine-Oolong. This is considered a green tea but really sits somewhere between a green tea and black tea. I gather this is fairly popular in the orient - especially China. Reasonably cheap versions of this blend are served at American-Chinese food restaurants (which is where I first encountered it - the blend I use is quite a bit nicer in quality).
Any other tea drinkers?!
