I keep having trying dragonwell out and it keeps giving me a headache for some reason. There's just something about it, but I keep getting more to make sure it's not a specific vendor or something. Makes me not a big fan of the stuff.

The weekly T@3 ladies had Jasmine #12 with Mint today. Yumm.

This afternoon, I am enjoying a 2006 Winter Li Shan sample that I got from Victoria. It is not something that I would normally like, but I figured I would try it any ways. It gave me a reason to play with my gaiwan and new tea cup. The tea is very mild and sweet, but I am more entertained by the leaves and the bamboo cup.

Odds are *something* around here has some Chinese mythological creature on it. No clue, though.

Hi GD, well I'm probably the only one here that understands your Serge Lutens reference, but I get it. I love it when your perfume and tea compliment each other. I'm wearing Montale Ginger Musk today. Not matching but ginger scents are a nice compliment to most tea don't you think?

I do, have you tried 5 o'clock au Gingembre?


[quote="hop_goblin"] LOL I am happy someone saw the humor in it! [\quote]

Gave me a good chuckle! Always nice to start the day.


Well, I've moved on to some Darjeeling ((((Victoria)))). A little Keemun is good--but too much can be, well, too much.

No, not tried that one. Or Keemun either.

I have yet to find one that I like....so hopefully eventually I will get a nice pet to sit on my tea tray. Right now I have a small ceramic seaturtle on my tray.

*Today has been all silver needles!

You should try Keemun. My favorite morning tea along with Yunnan golden tips

Ohhhhhh I like those bamboo cups! I have been looking at those too!

Bad news. The bamboo cup was very cute and went great with my gaiwan. After reading the actual page from the cups, I learned they should to be seasoned with tea before use. I took the last steep of the Li Shan and left it in the cup when I went to dinner. It wasn't overly hot by the time it went into the cup, but when I came back, there was a crack down the outside of the cup. It didn't go all the way through to the interior, but I don't think I will be using the cup to drink tea out of. I was rather sad since I've been fascinated by the cup since I got it.

On the bright side, the White Tip Oolong that I finished the night with was great.
