Hm, just binged all of Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary). Thumbs up to KyoAni again.
 
Though I'm not sure about near the end. Things got a little rushed and fell apart. Lots of things weren't explained much and it just kind of turned into a hype driven series near the end.
 
Beautiful art though. Beginning through middle was fantastic imo.

Continuing Amagi Brilliant Park although subbed BD hasn't completed yet
I no care anymore, let's just watch

Plastic memoires ended pretty well. Shame about that one arc that let everything down.

Bought some rose and ginseng oolong tea from work today.....$2.50 for one tea bag. T_T
I haven't had proper a proper ginseng product before, mostly in some crappy energy drinks, or rather a sip of them. It's not too bad! It's rather earthy-tasting though, as is the smell, similar to burdock root, so some people won't like that flavour.

I was going to mention that I don't know how many cups of tea it makes, but I peeled back the sticker and it just says "until it runs colorless." How specific! I have 3 cups made so far and it's pretty weak on this last one. I guess that's $0.83/cup. >.>










Why are all of the teas named with Kanji characters except for "herbal tea"? o.0
http://connacht.jp/
白茶 - white tea
錄茶 - green tea
花茶 - flavoured tea, literally flower tea
烏龍茶 - oolong tea
紅茶 - black tea, literally red tea
ハーブティー - herb tea; wat? the Kanji character for tea isn't even in this
黑茶 - pu'er tea, literally black tea

That sucks. Reading that a 30 minute time slot is not enough is promising though.
So does this "special" they promised for this weekend.

Hooray for triple post.

Maybe ハーブティー refers to non-Asian style herbal teas?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tea
Basically in the West, black tea = 紅茶 because the tea leaves are black
In the East, where the tea originated from obviously, "black tea" = 紅茶 (literally red tea) because the liquid is red, and is quite obviously so if you've ever seen it like in 99% of all Chinese restaurants

Apparently outside of the East, "red tea" is referred to rooibos, which also quite obviously has a red-coloured liquid but also red leaves. I had some rooibos burdock root tea the other day and it was very strong in the rooibos flavour. I dunno what the East calls this kind of tea if it isn't 紅茶. I wonder if rooibos is thus considered ハーブティー then if it's a non-Asian herbal tea.

Really well done indeed. Everyone sees the ending from the start, yet I couldn't stop the feels >.<
