i love the sound of hot water pouring over tea bags.
It's such an odd combination of crackling, flickering, paper, pouring, bubbling, i can't describe it. And the smells, oh! The smells! Especially my vanilla tea. I enjoy the smells of tea, and the ritual of preparing and pouring and stirring and curling my fingers around the warmth of a smoothly crafted mug and handle while I wait for it to cool, even more than the taste and consumption of the drink itself.
