Started with a green but very non-Irish Gyokuro this morning. I think I've finally learned to make it in a way that pleases my palate.
Then I re-tried a very disappointing new tin of White Peach, but it doesn't seem to have any peach flavor.
Maybe that's what I get for not honoring St. Paddy's Day appropriately. Hmm, better make some Irish Breakfast with a bit of peppermint in it.
Even though it's cold and sloshy here (recovering from a spring snow storm), all my tea has to be iced today to aviod a temporary dental issue . Hopefully back to enjoying my tea HOT in a couple days.

In all honesty I have been so busy today with a Sedimentology project I forgot it was St. Patrick's Day until I searched something on google........and of course by this point I have already been drinking tea today, so too late to start a pattern to match the day. Consequently, I have had everything, that I drink that is, today, except any form of green tea!
*I started off the day with Rishi Silver Needles and after steeping the life out of them, I moved on to my Wu's Reserve 2006 Ripe Pu-Erh and I have been drinking this ever since.

Today I went into http://www.liquidplanet.com/ for the first time, and saw that they have a gazillion teas that they don't even offer online. I'm drinking the cinnamon/vanilla tea by a company I've never heard of, but it's good. Really good. I bought a package of their Huckleberry black tea to try too.
They have a million green teas. Tomorrow, when I'm in town, I will go back and see what they have.

Moved onto another green, Ding Gu Da Fang...aka, Long Jing look alike from Anhui. This was the last of it. I used the Gaiwan from Padre for the first time...well first time I ever used a gaiwan, period. Hmmm, can white men use a gaiwan w/o spilling half of it?
I will have to reorder this one next harvest.
