A Tea Addict's Journal

Good things happen when you wait. It was 3:30pm, I had a meeting to go to at 4pm, and I wasn’t sure what would happen after that. Tea began calling me. I was in the Square. I was tempted — very tempted — to go and buy something and drink it down. Then, I thought “maybe we’ll end and nobody will want to go for dinner and I can go home and drink tea”. Lo and behold, that’s what happened!

Ok, I sound a little sad.

This is what I made today — another day of the Upton tieguanyin. I decided I should take more pics, so to give it some comaprison, although this is taken after dark, so I had to use the flash and the colour is a bit off. However, I think you can tell that the leaves are a bit greener than the stuff I brewed yesterday. Aged oolong of all kinds tend to become a dark green, and this is clearly not. Although today I think I messed up the brew and it’s not tasting quite so good.
