Si Ji Chun Oolong leaves |
Drank a delicious Si Ji Chun Oolong from Nanton, Taiwan. The tea was relatively highly oxidised and since I normally go for Oolongs that're lightly oxidised, this was also a nice break from the ordinary (Here, to the left, were the leaves beforehand).
I was thrilled, as always, with Laifufu, which I found out means 'Das Glück soll kommen' (luck/happiness is coming).
Like I say, this was the way I eased into a few both relaxing and productive days. Which if I'm forthright, is exactly why I love drinking tea. One of the many reasons.
I can get so much done while drinking tea, and it somehow calms me without interfering with my making progress.
Also I'm really enjoying the tea community and my little corner of it. I suppose I could assume it was understood how grateful I am to have found all of you tea bloggers and tea obsessives, as a result of this blog and The Association of Tea Bloggers and Tea Trade and Steepster and and and...
But Springtime is busting out all over, and I've decided now is as good a time as any to go all wobbly. I adore you folk, and my life has definitely benefitted from our acquaintance(s). Thanks for everything and here's to much more of the same.
the very exhausted leaves after the fact |
Second on the Si Ji Chun - I found it really spectacular. Unfortunatly, despite really frugal use, the 100g grams I got in 2007 are gone (small wonder). Thanks for the reminder - added to shopping list.
