2093 Green Mark puerh, I think from Wing Hop Fung. It is lovely balanced tea right now with sweetness, earthiness, camphor and a bit of spice, just lovely.
such a tiny bit of tea gave such a fine first Infusion, and there will be several more. mmmm.

I opened My Obubu Tea Farm spring tea club delivery today (it actually arrived a week or so ago but I hadn't yet opened it). This one contains several gyokuro teas and the annual Sakura sencha, Plus a mysterious pouch simply labeled 20th anniversary. It is a rather mysterious tea without any English...

I hope you get the same experience or better this time too

grapes and jellybeans Curious: I get the grapes reference, that sounds quite tasty. But I don't think of a 'jellybean' flavor, perhaps because I was introduced to JellyBellies at an early age--a cousin started carrying them in her shop long before they were staples of every sort of candy and gift s...

It's been a lovely tea day. I started with some water left on the sencha leaves from yesterday's morning sencha (from Obubu), because yesterday morning I was in a rush and could not 'finish' the session. I somehow hit upon a very nice dilution of that cool concentrated infusion with fresh hot water,...

welcome! and happy to have you join our tea adventures

I remember Fukujuen looked intriguing but we kept passing it when it was closed, on a main shopping street. I can't find my notes at present to remember others.

I did get to try some tea at Tsuen tea house, and it was lovely, and I bought a bunch of tea to take home. if I recall correctly, we were joined for part of our session by someone who identified as a member of the Family that owned the shop. It's not far from Kyoto! But tea was not high on Mom's to ...

sounds delicious. If I did not already have some very nice Keemun from Daxue Jiadao I would be sorely tempted

I had a China post parcel that was delivered to my regional post office right around the new year, if I recall correctly, but after Christmas. It sat there for something like two weeks before it abruptly moved to my local post office and was delivered the next day. usually when I see that arrival at...

I have been negligent of Korean greens from my Tea Buy Korea purchases at times and discovered them a year or two later and found them still quite delicious, perhaps not as fresh as they might've been otherwise but still very good. I have never refrigerated them.

Does that help?

How do you prepare your tea? - Just pour hot water from the kettle to a mug containing a tea bag. What tea knowledge are you interested in exploring right now? - right now I am interested in deepen my knowledge on Japanese green teas, such as gyokuro and sencha What factors lead you to delve into t...

I don't usually plug the numbers into a calculator but I do eyeball them and estimate dollars per gram, especially when the price first looks good and then I look and realize that it's for a smaller than usual quantity. how much I'm willing to pay per gram depends a lot on the specific tea, how much...

what a beautiful gem of a pot! and I agree, the photos are very attractive and got me to take a second and the third look at the pot.
