This is hilarious. My client Ron Rubin owns The Republic of Tea. I met with him last year to look at some property and mentioned how I had a green tea that morning before work. As is customary, I put in my usual two bags, as one isn't enough to kick start my fifty-one year old, high-performance, usually-in-overdrive-but-never-overworked motor. Apparently, Ron took it to heart and embarked on a new line, called "Double Green Matcha", launched in 2008 with great results. He explained that the Matcha process is very old in Japan and involves basically increasing the strength of tea through a short process. Take a look at the new can, available at Cost Plus, Whole Foods and Toodlum's Stop N' Steal in Biloxi. Sadly, not all cans will include the photo of me.  It's these small gestures that make the world  go 'round for me these days, along with my kids.
