OK, I am feeling somewhat inept. I cannot seem to get a pic to post here. Quick tips?
Good tea drinking,

I post them from Photobucket. You can open a free Photobucket account and upload the photos to that account. Copy the IMG link that accompanies your photo and paste it in your post here. The photo remains at Photobucket, but magically looks like it is here.

It's not a bad idea to resize the photo (either in your own software or in Photobucket) to no more that 600 pixels in the longest dimension, otherwise people using Internet Explorer get some minor but irritating image size problems. You can also upload the photo to photobucket and copy and paste a "Direct Link" here; the photo won't appear in TeaChat, but the link will take people to it.

You can paste a small (600 px) photo in here and link to a larger image (if you have both in photobucket) or a different image or a slide show by filling your Direct Links into the following formula in a TeaChat post:

I enjoy the tea but love the wrapper. Maybe the wrapper is unduly influencing me!

Thanks for the tip. I was trying to do this from a flickr account and was obviously doing something wrong.

I am sure you can also post from Flickr, but I don't know how.

Perhaps another chatter more familar with Flickr could give directions?

I have the Xi-Zhi Hao * Dragon Phoenix * which has almost the same wrapper. It is stunning.

You got a whole tong of each?

He purchased tongs of quite a few really good pu'er's. They're all available through the group buy over at Badger and Blade. I had nothing but amazing experiences dealing with Steve acquiring samples at a good price and speed, I highly recommend trying some teas out through him. I'm sure if you pm'ed him he'd give you a list of what teas he has left, what's on order, and the prices for all. He ships from America. Jim, Ouch, and a handful of our own members (Mainly from B&B) can also vouch for his excellent services.

Yes, I have tong quantities that I purchased specifically for the group buy over on Badger and Blade. The buy is open to anyone on this forum also. There is a thread in this "Pu" section that has pricing information for the samples. Cake/brick quantitity purchases are also possible at very good prices.

Best regards,
Steve
