Does someone have a link to Oolong categories?

Fantastic.

Here's a cup Tenuki might like. Oolong (Golden Buddha thanks to Salsero) in honor of the Oolong Box Launch:

Nice! I actually like the 'grayish' one a lot. The brown one reminds me of some cups out at the family cabin that I love. The leaf prints are very beautiful.

Geekgirl, I am pretty sure I've said this before, but I love your teaware. It makes me drool oh so very much.

Thanks auggy! I have to admit, the addiction has gotten worse since joining this forum. But part of the thrill is the hunt, especially a bargain hunt! I've made some very lucky finds at prices that don't make my wallet screech in agony. :oops:

Yay for ringwormfreenessosity! And why wouldn't getting pooped on by a kitty be fun?

It's like joining an AA that meets in a bar for a round of drinks. There's something we should probably be doing about our habits, but instead of stopping we're buying each other rounds.

Beautiful teaware and great photography! Sal, GeekGirl, Henley, Victoria, Tenuki, these images are stunning, each in its own way! Like a high class teaware catalog. I want them all! :oops:

To celebrate the Oolong Box maiden voyage I am drinking Wenshan Baoshong all day. I am done with the 4th infusion and there's still a lot of life in these leaves. I am beginning to worry that I may have to continue tomorrow.

Oh, I got it in the Box Pass. The first one. Image

Seriously though, it is Wen Mountain Baoshong from Tao of Tea. Very nice!

Is that by any chance the Floating Leaves Trad. Alishan featured in my photo today?

Why yes it is. I didn't realize it was the same since you reversed the name and didn't list the vendor.

How do you like it?
