Drinking Tea

Living in China and not drinking great tea everyday is like living in France and buying bagged bread. A world of mildly caffeinated taste and pleasure awaits, at unbeatable prices. Please do run out and try some right now.

Tea is the distillation of Mother Nature’s love for us. Hot water is the medium, and yixing clay teapots are the ultimate vessels in which to mingle dried plant and hot water.
Last time I was teapot browsing the tea vendor had a lot of stories about each one I liked. Whether true or no, it's part of the fun of collecting.
A votre santé !
