How to Brew The Perfect Cup of Tea

If you are a fan of green tea like me, today's  LA Times Food Section has more than a few good reads about green tea, such as the one by Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee.  There is also an article about chocolate and matcha (powdered green tea) truffles.  Can yin-yang, East-West fusion food get any more perfect?

Traditionalists say that green tea tastes best when steeped for less than two minutes in water that hasn't quite reached the boiling point (about 180 degrees). Others say that using water at boiling temperature (212 degrees) and steeping the tea for at least four to five minutes increases concentration of the antioxidant (polyphenol) in the tea. Maybe it's more healthful to brew the tea longer, but I prefer the more delicate taste of a briefer steeping time.

However you decide to make it, loose-leaf teas are, of course, preferred. A teaspoon of leaves is enough for an eight-ounce cup.

The Law of Attraction and Sankalpa

I woke up this morning to read this short piece by Dr. Chopra on Intent this morning.  It's the perfect Friday morning into-the-weekend boost:

The Sanskrit word Sankalpa helps us understand how conscious desire serves as the underlying structure for the manifestation of one's intention.

Sankalpa is the subtlest level of intention at the cusp of choiceless awareness and thought. It is like the seed structure of intelligence around which time, space, and matter consolidate into a manifested event. The fundamental mechanics of intention manifesting into reality is based on the principle that intent in the field of pure potentiality organizes its own fulfillment through the synchronicity of space, time, energy, information, and matter.
