I recently discovered gongfu tea and its quickly become a special interest of mine. I think the whole sensory experience is very appealing to me as an autistic person, as well as the routine aspect. I especially the smells, as I've always been an olfactory sensory seeker. I love buying soaps and candles, so smelling the leaves, the gaiwan lid, the liquor is sensory heaven for me. I think it has also helped with my ADHD as well. The meditative process of preparing the tea helps me slow down and think, and the caffeine and theanine help me feel more functional.
I'd love to hear from any other autistic or ND people, what're your thoughts?
