Happy New Year!
Happy new year to everybody! I hope lots of good tea await you all in 2009. After a relatively short 21 hours trip from Hong Kong back here (I expected 24), I am breaking out some of my recent acquisitions on this trip… -
Christmas shopping
Between the myriad family activities and trying to recover from the jetlag, I did manage to pick up some tea -- some aged oolong and some puerh, as well as a bit of bug shit tea. Anyway..... more later, gotta run again … -

Treasure troves
