After being lazy as fuck and trying to stop the thought-train from derailing in visited my favorite tea salon. It's beautiful and very relaxing there, either with no music at all or very subtle piano tracks in the background. There are also some alcoves for two people, with dimmed lightning and cushions. And the people working there... you can just see their passion for the job. If you ask them about specific teas, they could probably even tell you, who picked them from the field.
To rise my spirits a little bit, I went with Matcha and a delicious Okara-chocolate-cake with whipped cream and strawberry sauce. Sooo goood~ I think it was the first real Matcha I had, since my trip to Japan a few years back. So I instantly bought a set of bamboo-spoon, tea cup and bamboo whisk. This just might become my morning-kickstarter of choice!
Definitely made me feel a little bit better, and although I'm still struggling with some not-so-happy thoughts - and the upcoming week is going to be pure hell at work - at least this day was really nice!
