Easy to do without equipment - I use a piece of parchment paper over my alcohol burner, a candle or charcoal for just the amount I'm going to use right away. It's easy, just keep it moving and experiment around till you get a taste you like.

Im drinking shui jin gui from jingteashop today. They threw in a sample of it last year and I liked it so much I had to get more. Ah those tea samples are such a nice marketing technique.

Believe it or not, I am having my first 2010 Spring Oolong and it's from Norbu. Their baozhong. Very fruity, wow, like super lychee.

I have never tired Norbu before. Their shipping is FAST!
Not sure how I rate this, it is very unique tasting.

Shan Lin Xi from IShopO. This my fourth cup from a 75g pack and until now I am not very impressed by this tea. On the other hand I liked very much the Shan Lin Xi from TFTsampler. I had the same experience with Long Feng Xia: loved the sample fromTFT but I am not impressed at all by the Long Feng Xia from IShopO. :?

Just pushing some 2009 Mao Xie from Jing Tea Shop as far as it will go. Many infusions later, the spicy middle is giving way to a sweet ending. Am I on 12? 15? And it's still lovely.

A Jade Tie Guan Yin Autumn 2009 to celebrate the first rain after weeks of blistering heat. In the house they call me already Spotty being covered with prickly heat. :lol: That's not funny at all. The temperature dropped by 10 degrees both in C and F after the rain. I got out in the garden and let my body soak-in the cool, heavenly water. I think that will have been my best moment of the year. :D
