Re: Your day in tea

Had a really great tasting with a tea buddy this afternoon that evolved into 6 hours (had no idea!). Take away is friendship, great tea and great music rock. Add to that excellent yancha curated by LazyCat -it is energetic, radiating up and out of the body, in an almost mystical way.
I don’t typically list prices but today we did check. We started with;
* Thunderbolt’s First Flush Margaret’s Hope White 2023 $1 gram. FF white is best within first 9 months. It’s getting slightly degraded, but still tasty. After Castleton Moonlight Imperial (not available in 2023) this is a second favorite white FF Darjeeling of mine.
* HY Chen’s Wild Forest Back Ching Sin da Mou. It’s a really excellent aromatic and nuanced Taiwan black! Highly recommend, very elegant. $ .50c gram
* Hojo’s Yancha Yao Zi Ke Rou Gui - Is good but I assumed before looking that it was a $1 gram yancha not $2.76 gram. Seems overpriced, but I’ll enjoy none the less.
* Lazy Cat’s Gemstone Rougui 2021 – Zhengyan. Very good on par with price point as well. I could enjoy frequently. $1.24 gram
* Lazy Cat’s Sanyangfeng Rougui 2021 – Zhengyan. An Excellent AAA yancha also on par with price point, $3 gram. Lazy Cat rocks. Listened to Thundercat’s Them Changes and Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man while enjoying this one.
