  • Outdoor tea

    Or more exactly, semi-outdoor tea. It's always nice to have a chance to sit outside and drink tea, rather than cooped up in my own little room facing a wall. The weather is nice and finally, warm enough for tea drinkin…

  • First impressions are deceiving

    I've said this before, but I'm reminded of this issue again today. I think one of the easy mistakes that newcomers to tea make is an over emphasis on the first few infusions. This is especially true of puerh, particula…

  • Drinking storage

    I remember when I first started out drinking tea and learning about it, a very knowledgeable friend told me that puerh (by which is meant aged puerh -- new tea was not in the discussion) tastes best BEGINNING with the 5t…

  • Poo poo platter...

    I went over to the Mandarin's lair a few days ago to drink tea with him while I was spending some time in The City. It was a welcomed break from the stuff I was doing there. He's got himself a nice tea room, with a lot…

  • Silver kettle

    I got a heating plate (you can see a corner of it in yesterday's picture) so I can safely heat my silver kettle without running a high risk of screwing it up. I noticed that a flame will help tarnish the silver, even ju…

  • Zhongcha Orange in orange

    I rearranged my tea closet yesterday, which helped me fully appreciate how much tea I am actually sitting on, and while doing it, dug up a lot of old samples that are slowly aging in their respective little bags. Since …

  • Aged maocha

    I was thinking of drinking my biyuzhu today while rummaging through my tea closet, and I thought I found what I wanted. Out came the bag.... and lo and behold, it's the wrong tea (in a similar looking bag). Ooops, but …

  • How times change

    (As I was about to post this blog post last night.... strong winds knocked out the power lines!) I remember I used to like this tea quite a bit This is the supposed 30 years old puerh from Best Tea House. I remember…
