I was pleasantly surprised to find a small parcel containing tea in our mail box today, just less than 1 day after I clicked on a “Proceed to Checkout” button.

This was the second of the two teas I recently purchased from House of Tea, along with the Wu Yi Shan Qi Lan Oolong I wrote about earlier.

A Green and a White Day
This morning the street-lights seemed almost embarrassed to be caught out still on when I got up.

Wu Yi Shan Qi Lan
After a virtual trip to Taiwan to sample a lighter, “green” Oolong, I’m now back to what for me is more familiar territory, that is to say the mainland of China and a darker Oolong – Wu Yi Shan Qi Lan.

I received this tea as a 3g sample with my recent purchase from “House of Tea“.
Although that might not sound like much, it’s the perfect amount to steep gong-fu / Asian style in a 100ml capacity gaiwan.
