Aiba Manabu ~ 相葉マナブ Epi 006

After a long meeting, MRT broke down drama, and finally home and cozy with my mini Kirin lager beer (yes, I look like Hotaru now, minus the guru guru on the veranda), I finally get to watch this tea episode. I think the staff should know better that Aiba-chan plus roke shooting equals good if not gold episode! This episode still can't beat the takenoko episode, but come on, Aiba-chan always lights up whenever he's outside XD...

This time it's about tea! It's a very nostalgic subject, besides the fact that I love tea. I basically grew up with tea because... my dad was doing tea business for 30 years, the buying and selling, luckily not owning the plantation. Sniffing raw teas, cooked teas, different teas from different plantations, visits to the bottled teas factories, yeah, that's my childhood LOL. Compared to tea factories in Indonesia (well maybe it's different now, but we're talking about the condition from decades ago), the small tea factory in this episode treats its tea with care, probably because of its small size.

( Watching tea while drinking beer... YEAH! )

Medetashi medetashi!!
