Aged darjeeling
I have, with me, a 10 years old tin of Darjeeling I bought this quite some years ago in New York city, some first flush stuff that I never really drank much of. I carried it with me to many places, and after numerous… -
Keemun from Taiwan
I drank the same tea two days in a row, a rarity for me. The reason is because I completely misjudged the amount of tea I should use in such a small pot for blacks, so I ended up with too much tea (and not enough water)… -
Rishi Yunnan Gold

T Salon Darjeeling -- aged
Somebody's response to my entry on Cha Dao (same as the one I posted here two days ago) mentioned how Darjeeling is rarely talked about, even though it is quite popular among tea drinkers. Indeed, I don't know quite why… -
Are teabags really that different from each other?
Today we drove a good 50 miles to go to the nearest Whole Foods, which means that I didn't really have a lot of spare time to brew tea at home properly, as I don't like to do a full session at night (which can affect my …
