green tea

“Gypsy and Zen Bohemians may drink green tea. The tea of choice is loose Gunpowder or Green Thunder, which is coiled tightly as a fist and unfurls in the pot when hot water is poured over it, until the water is as dense with leaves as the seaweed-swirling Sargasso Sea; it is consumed until all hours when work requires alertness and lucidity.”

Laren Stover, from Bohemian Manifesto: A Field Guide to Living on the Edge, 2004.
