Today's tea spot is the back porch of the in laws. Beautiful weather and Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong black tea from Tong Mu Guan packed into an aged orange.
Got the set and tea from Yunnan Sourcing, definitely a top tier site in my opinion. The incense is from Jesse's, as well as the mat and golly is it nice.
Discovered this sub, here's my contribution. Everyone meet Juice
When my partner and I were walking her dog, I redirected us to a store cause I wanted to pick up some juice. As she turned to reply to me, she saw this lil girl as she cried at my partner. When my partner approached her, she without hesitation JUMPED into her arms and started making biscuits. We took her home, have gotten her checked out and with a clean bill of health, am happy to introduce Juice to our lil family. Thusly named because I went towards the store to get juice, and I ended up getting Juice instead. A trade I'd make again n again.
Today's setup
It's really nice having a stash to select from for a day like this. Today's selection is: W2T's 2018 Hot Brandy white/black tea hybrid, Zkittlez Drought badder and SweetTooth sugar. It's going to be a lovely afternoon.
My first order from Yunnan Sourcing, how'd I do?
I got a mix of things I think I might like, a few daily drinkers and a few things for special times or on the move.
Today's setup at work
The tea is excellent, the teapot is just a cheapo AliExpress but it travels well 😁
It's been a year I think since someone asked this, so I figure this is a good time to ask. Now I hope the pitchforks don't come out, but I got some of the first spring harvest of green tea this year in a subscription box. I tried one of them and while I think if I CHOSE to drink more, I might acquire a taste for it. If it was served to me, I'd drink it, but I don't exactly WANT it. It's complex, it's very tasty and kind of tieguanyin tasting, but it's not enough to cover the grassy taste. What should I do with it? Part of me is considering posting in my local city's subreddit to maybe find a few tea friends here and gift it to them in the hopes it's to their flavors, but is that lame? Am I second guessing every decision that led me to this moment including that highschool girlfriend? Yes. Yes I am. Anywho, happy brewing!
