2005 Twin Elephants Imperial Golden Buds Shu from Verdant Tea
97

RIP John Lennon. I have to admit I am in my infancy in the world of Pu’ers. One thing I can say is I know what I like. This I love. I did’nt have a lot to brew so I steeped it a bit longer than usual. There is an energy in my mouth like electricity. If you have read my posts the past few days I have tasted a few other Pu’ers. There is no comparison. Maybe they will compare in a few years. These Pu’ers are in their infancy. They are cute little girls. This is a beautiful woman….

He died December 8, 1980. My way of honoring his memory….

I have a pretty hefty age gap on my wife and then she’s in a graduate program primarily full of people quite a bit younger than her. Whenever we do social things with that crowd I’m constantly making cultural references that either fall completely flat or get a “oh yeah, my parents are into that” kind of thing.

Classic.

Amy, to some of us who remember waking up on December 8, 1980 and listening to every radio station playing the Beatles and John Lennon and wondering why and ten finding out why and crying. When I was a baby my parents were huge Beatles fans and when I learned to use a record player for the first time I played " I saw her standing there " over and over. While driving in the car I was wondering where the music came from. When you are an infant these are things that stay with you forever. The Beatles changed the world. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE….
