Hello everybody and welcome to Listen Money Matters. I'm not trying to get paid I'm trying to pay people

My name is Thomas and I'm here as always with my good friend Andrew Andrew how are you and what are you drinking?

Dude good good. I am drinking some green tea. Oh

I was expecting like a bomber or something. You know I actually have a really good beer in the fridge

I think I'm going to save for next week. I need to detox a little bit and I'm going to calm down on the alcohol. I think that I've like reached a peak

And I need to maybe slow it down where it peak alcoholism. Yeah maybe maybe something like that. If the only drink I had during the week was the beer on the show

That would probably be that's far from the case. Yeah slow it down. What are you drinking dude? I am drinking some lapsong suchang tea

And I don't know if you've ever heard of this but it literally smells like smoke salmon. Really? Yeah it's like the smokiest tea you will ever have.

No I don't taste super. I mean you get a little bit of the smokiness in the taste but the smell is far stronger than the taste.

So it was funny because I got a chase got me well chase have let you told me to go get some at this tea shop in Portland.

But first he had me try this lapsong suchang liquor. It was like a whiskey brewed with this tea and it was like super smoky.

It was really weird. And then so I got some of this tea for Anna and she takes like a smell of it and she's like you would get this tea.

This is like the whiskey of teas. Or like the scotch of teas. But I really like it actually and I just put milk and sugar in it like just like a chai or just like a

Irish breakfast and it's really good. He always is like three to Chinese work well okay in Chinese they use a different word but it's still Chinese word I believe it's

LAP S O G S O N G I think and then it's like S O U C H O N G. So like I think chase for ounce that lapsang suchang.

But then I looked it up on YouTube and like the dude who is pronouncing it correctly so I think it's like a song suchang.

So I'm just saying I went into the tea body yesterday and I was like do you guys have any lapsong suchang and they're like what what's what's that.

That's another main street tea we only have main street easier.

They had poor air which is also like just as ancient and kind of hipstery but they didn't have any of this stuff so I forgot it was like a better tea shop in my town so I'm going to go check and see if they have it there.

To the guy selling the tea have like huge beers.

Well I mean Teavon is like a mall tea store. It was like two high school girls you know like barely I don't think they knew much about it.

They read the manual they have like no idea what's the score they're like I don't know we have to do our homework just they knew enough about what they've been trained on that was it.
