Happy New Year (of the wabbit)!

Yunnan Golden Needles seems appropriate to me too.

This day has been for me an all Japanese teaday so far, with some Ippoen gyokuro a few minutes ago.

Celebrated with a sample of the 1998 #8582 Menghai sheng from Hou De. Marvelous way to begin another lunar year!

Finally broke out a Chinese tea tonight ... Jade Tip with the Mrs. from Imen via a TCer! Really quite nice and reminded me of Zhu Ye Qing.

A cold and icy day outside, a beautiful and warm day inside a conservatory at Longwood Gardens ...

Camellia japonica, our tea's cousin's species which was nowhere to be found ...

Absolutely! I've already had several cups of rose congou today. Probably going to have a Chinese green later, definitely a green of some sort. :mrgreen:

Not I! :shock:

Currently brewing the last half of Hatsumi from O-cha via the OTTI. Earlier had a 2005 sheng that was quite nice.

The Puerh was indeed Chinese. Happy New Year!
