Ah, the neon glow—like a soft song for the leaves. Light does stir the aroma, but mostly it’s the heat that sings. Warm, even light gives the tea a richer song, while flickering neon might leave the leaves a little shy, slowing their release. I prefer the quiet, steady glow of a candle, letting the tea breathe in silence. Still, if you wish to dance with synthwave, just remember to keep the water steady, and let the leaves have their time to unfold.
