  • Aged Wuyi Tea

    Now that we have the 10,000 hits thing out of the way... back to the teas :) Yesterday, along with the scale and the bags of Wuyi tea I got, I was given a small sample of an aged Wuyi tea from the store. Since it's a s…

  • Roasted Dahongpao

    As it seems to be my custom these days, after a long day of tastings I go back to one of my Wuyi teas to calm my body down. Today's no different, but it's a different tea. This is a Wuyi I got a few weeks ago with the …

    Since I boiled the new pot yesterday with tea, it's now ready for use (I decided it probably wasn't necessary with the other pot I got -- the one for puerh. It is well seasoned already and hardly new). So I ended up br…

  • Tea with two friends

    I went out for some fairly poor dimsum today. MSG lovefest. Then when we were on the way back, since it was a rainy day and it didn't seem like anyone had anything to do, I invited the two friends who were still with m…

  • First day in Beijing

    Well, Beijing I am in. It's only been two days, but I've already made two visits to different teashops and bought different things. The most important purchase is a new teapot, for drinking qingxiang Taiwanese oolong. …
