2003 Menghai Shou Pu-erh
When you start to delve deeper into the mysterious world of Pu-erh, you tend to run across one name again and again – that of the Menghai Tea Factory.

Steepers on the Storm
6:00 am, and my furry brown feline Burmese overlord is making it abundantly clear that it is way past what he considers to be a reasonable hour for breakfast.

1993 Da Ye Oolong
I received this tea as a 3g sample along with my recent purchases from “House of Tea“, an amount which is usually acceptable for steeping gong-fu / Asian style in one of my 100ml capacity clay gaiwans.

Sevan’s Ceylon Saves The Day…
As I gazed forlornly into the two open tea caddies it dawned on me that I might have miscalculated somewhat.
The Bottom of the Caddy
You know before opening the caddy that this will be the last session with that particular tea. The caddy feels unusually light, and the few lonely leaves left inside make an odd, metallic scraping noise as they slide about.

Green Tea With Lemongrass
A post over at Cat’s Tea of the Day got me thinking about lemongrass flavoured green tea.
