we get some snow in Seattle. This cup of Tie Luo Han didn't stay hot very long! Happy tea-drinking; I'm off to seek out a winter wonderland in Discovery Park!
For Westerners without the means to travel to Asia, our knowledge and experience of tea comes second-hand, with a healthy dose of mystery. Therefore, it's tough to really know anything for sure, let alone make claims about being any sort of expert. Instead, we can only enjoy and learn from small tastes of something ... smuggled in ... hopefully building a reliable knowledge base and maybe even scratching the surface of truly great tea.
