πŸ«– The prettiest tea in Japan blooms before your eyes

Someone commented on a recent video that I shouldn’t use an AI generated voice because it sounds creepy. This is good feedback. Except it’s not AI. This is my real voice and I’m going to use it to tell you about this gorgeous tea I had in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It’s served with an apple that’s beautifully sliced to look like a rosette. And when you pour tea over it, the petals unfurl. I think it’s just black tea, but this process was mesmerizing. This is a great example of how Japan makes an otherwise ordinary experience more artful. I was so engrossed by this blossoming apple. It made me feel more present. And it wasn’t just an aesthetic experience. This tea was strong and slightly fruity. It was calming and soothed my voice, which may sound like AI, but it isn’t.
