#firstteaofmyday @teavivre Jinhao Golden Tip Black, tastes very strongly of cherry today which is awesome! What is not awesome is amount of things I need to get done which means very little painting will happen today. Still kinda cranky about the tournament yesterday and not sure what I'm going to do. Find a different store with laxer alter rules, replace my painted cards and focus on tokens, just stick to casuals, only paint my personal decks and not standard ones? The reason why I was told my alters were a no go was from them being painted rather than using sharpie, since apparently they make a sound in the card sleeve, which I never noticed. Wish I would have thought to ask if that means all the cards are altered it would be ok, since that was my plan anyway. Mad props to the TO for being so anal about rules even at a small low key tournament. It bit me but I respect the hell out of that. Plus Ben let me open his prize and I got us a Gideon and I found a bunch of goodies in the junk card box. #ramble #tea #teaofinstagram #gongfucha #hongcha #blacktea #chinesetea #jianshui #tenmoku #oilspot
