  • Wet storage

    One of the topics that came up during Sherab's visit on Saturday was wet storage. Wet storage is sometimes viewed with mythical vile -- it's bad, it's awful, don't do it, it'll kill you, etc. I've heard versions of all…

  • Growing out of a tea

    It's a little bit sad when you realize you've outgrown a tea -- that it's no longer good, even though once upon a time, you thought it was a nice tea. I remember I used to really like this stuff It's some supposedly…

    Yesterday was New Year's, so I figured it's an excuse to drink something nice. So I pulled out this little container with about 2-3g of tea in it. It's from my last visit to Wisteria with Aaron Fisher, when we met wi…

  • A parting meeting

    I went to Wisteria today, to see Aaron and a couple who are making a documentary about tea. I met the couple once already, but since I figured Aaron might be able to help them a lot more (seeing as he's in Taiwan and al…

  • Border tea

    New candy from my candy store. I went back to the candy store to see if she has any more teas for me. One of the reasons I keep going back to this place is because unlike a lot of old shops, the laobanniang is very…
