A classic. This tea never disappoints. It is everything that a Shui Xian should be. Complex, smooth, brisk, sweet… I wish I could say more… but, running on three hours of sleep is making writing notes hard. XP (Note to self: update this note)
I prepared this in a porcelain gaiwan and drank it from an antique European tea cup. :3

I joined Steepster back in August of 2009. Since then, I have been lurking around shyly and taken it all in. Just recently, I decided to log all of the teas that I have in my cupboard and from there I decided to be a bit more active on the site!
I’m addicted to four things: Tea, wolves, indie perfume, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
My favorite teas right now: Ming Hong and Halmonicha
Broadly speaking I also love: Most Chinese red teas, most Fujian oolongs, and balhyochas.
I’ve been drinking loose-leaf teas since childhood. I love everything from tieguanyin to gyokuro to a good British cuppa. I am looking forward to trying every tea type out there and building an extensive pu-erh library.
