PART II

I am very busy lately, and a total of two days pass until I am able to get back to this pot of exquisite tea.

Steepings 6 through 10, 2 to 8 minutes. The flavors have digressed significantly over the two days, probably because I am stupid enough to leave wet leaves out for so long. Nonetheless, I still get flavors of melon and sweet vegetables, and not even the slightest hint of bitterness. I am immensely pleased with this tea experience, and as soon as I get my next paycheck, I will be placing my next, bigger, order with Verdant.

I am planning on opening my own beverage emporium in the future. I love tea, especially hand-picked, traditionally processed, Chinese and Taiwanese teas that have given their makers a just livelihood. Oh, and of course, they have to taste good, too!

My name “cha dao,” comes from the Chinese phrase meaning “way of tea.” I try to live up to this name because the culture of tea challenges me to be more humble, respectful, hospitable, and an overall better person.
