Tea tea tea!
Last week I went to another local teashop that I have had several customers and friends tell me about. And let me tell you Livejournal it was a blast!
They sit you down and any tea on the wall that captures your interest they will take down and make a small little sample cup for you to try. I think I made them make me a sample of everyone of their Oolongs, and in the end took home some of their Jade Oolong. David ended up with some Lychee Black tea.
I also decided that since I have so many Yixing pots floating around it was high time to actually use one (Yixings are really only good for one tea since they absorb the flavor of that tea over time), and ended up "seasoning" and getting my cute little Lizard Yixing Mug ready for my new tea :D
My life has been pretty dull lately so this whole trip to Pikes Market was a nice distraction from work and gaming :)
