Sleep is elusive, stress is pervasive.

Green tea isn't oxidized at all. Oolong is a tea oxidized somewhere between (theoretically) 1% and 99%, with 100% being considered fermented and thus black tea.

My experiences with Yixing (pronounced something like 'yee-sching') haven't been very good. It's made of clay, and it actually smells like the clay I remember from kindergarden. Some people swear by them, but the tea I've had from them always seems 'off', tasting and smelling strange. Pic related, it's the Yixing I own.

I toss them. Generally, the only kind of leaves people eat are gyokuro. Personally, I'd rather not eat them. 'Spent' leaves are either bitter or smell something like boiled spinach. Since the nutrients have already been extracted from them by repeated hot water infusion, I see no reason to eat them.

Yes. You're a bad person. The tea police are going to knock down your door any minute now and bust your shit up, son.
