Re: Moon Cakes & Tea Pairing

Winter melon, white sugar, dextrose, maltose, wheat flour, wheat flour, peanut oil, egg yolks to make a wonderful mooncake, enjoyed best taking big bites that always include some of the 2 yolks in the middle of each large mooncake. I started pairing w/ Dong Pian from last winter. This was a mistake ...

Also, it paired very well with mooncake.

Happy lunar festival!
Yes, happy lunar festival! (I like mooncakes. Interesting, varied, unusual combinations of flavors.)

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?

Randy, It is so good of you to post about your return to this tea & the session that you enjoyed so much (in stark contrast to one that was not enjoyable). You give us a great example of one session not being enough to judge a tea. Different moods, parameters,.... whatever, give us a different sessi...

Re: Pair of celadon cups

Raining on the parade a bit: From the photographs, I don't see anything special, not color(s) nor crazing. What am I missing?

I like, own, & use contemporary celadon made in Thailand. ? is serious. What is it that I don't see or know?

Re: Celadon Appreciation

.... When paired with this green tea that I've been drinking every day, it seems to reduce the higher aromatic notes quite dramatically- and to flatten the body a bit.

Trying this tea again with tozo's reduction akitsu mumyoi - the result is very poor. The clay seems to kill the body to the point it seems stale.....

Also this tea has a lot of stamina- did 20 or so rounds yesterday and then an overnight- was quite nice in the morning
Wow! That means that even if it is "expensive" per gram, it is not really expensive. Seems that you found a wonderful tea. Again, thanks for sharing.
