I have the Spring Awarded oolong. Some day it'll hold more tea, or some other random stuff.<BR/><BR/>The tea sounds delicious.

Sometimes it,s hard to judge my own pics. I dont always see what other people see.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175905265473304864.post-36834345660468679292009-01-17T06:11:00.000-08:002009-01-17T06:11:00.000-08:00Probably because the focus is on the bamboo at the...Probably because the focus is on the bamboo at the back but the photo is quite nice, actually made better I think by the lack of clarity on the teapot. I like a nice simple tea, green or oolong especially, when I lack time for depth, when the 'be here now' is really 'better get going or be inexcusably late.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175905265473304864.post-65209367589136243062009-01-16T18:07:00.000-08:002009-01-16T18:07:00.000-08:00Thanks Eileen, The tea in the pot is Long Jing. Th...Thanks Eileen, The tea in the pot is Long Jing. The tea cup I got from Hibiki-an a long time ago. The little stick figure design on it is supposed to be a pine needle.Yes the Oolong I like quite a bit. Like I said though, to me it,s a very simple tea in that it,s not a complex tea nor is there a lot of depth to it but just the same it,s very nice. <BR/>The pic in general I like also even though I couldnt get the clarity I wanted on the teapot itself. Very monochromatic.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175905265473304864.post-89002993635267636112009-01-16T17:55:00.000-08:002009-01-16T17:55:00.000-08:00Osmanthus paired with oolong is one of my favorite...Osmanthus paired with oolong is one of my favorites. I've gotten it from The Tea Gallery and it's very affordable. What is the beautiful tea in the pot which opens your site now? A beautiful photo and the tea looks simply delicious. The cup is very nice as well. It's a photo in which everything works including the tea canister at the back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
