Kelpy (was: New appreciation for tea with tisanes)
I'm sure BabelCarp has these entries:
kelp 昆布 Chinese
kelp こぶち Japanese
I'm not sure if I was the first to associate the word kelp with
sencha. If I was then I got my association from the Internet where
the two are processed together.

PS If my characters get mangled then blame it on Google in this
particular case because I replied to a Ascii post. The new Google
doesn't allow me to set character sets as before in replies.

Thanks for the word "kelpy", Jim! *I think "kelpy" is now a permanent

Strangely, I just tasted a shu Pu'er (You Le Mountain, given me by a
friend) that had a bit of kelpiness to it.
