Tea arrival

All tea lovers know the feeling of excitement at the arrival of a new package.
Today I got no less than three. The last installments of my 2008 tea shopping, delivered with several weeks’ delay courtesy of the post-Xmas hickup of the Polish Mail.
Half a dozen bings plus some competitions cups from Yunnan Sourcing, and a good two dozen samples (mostly oolongs and greens) from Jing and Dragon Tea House. All neatly packaged – there is a good amount of positive feedback on these shops around but I can heartily recommend them!

I particularly look forward to sampling several Wuyi oolongs from Dragon including a rarely seen Tie Luo Han and affordable Rou Gui, as well as to some rare greens including the (for me) mysterious Fo Cha. Stay tuned for tasting notes!
