Great photo, Zeks!! I’m so happy to see these all arriving safely.

thx:) I am rather surprised at the quality that simple phone camera was capable of. I thought it was hopeless but these silver needles from reserve club package were just begging to be posted :)

It’s true! Sometimes when I step back and take a look at what technology is capable of these days, I just think.. “The future is now!” Amazing. Still, no matter how great our cameras and technology get, it’s still a person framing, setting up and taking the shot.

My epic swap with JustJames came in today. I’m excited that it is earlier than expected so I can try a few before I leave for vacation.

Getting tea in the mail makes me happy. I received my Mandala order today!!! I ordered 2 oz of Black Pearl, 1 oz of Milk Oolong and the Noble Mark 2012 cake.
It also included my first Yixing teapot. It’s so little and it’s soooo cute. Came well wrapped and snug in a beautiful box. I love it. Not sure how to deal with it, but I’m really happy.

I LOVE getting tea in the mail!! Sometimes it’s better than the tea itself!! I love swaps for that reason!

Enjoy your yixing…let me know how you like it…

awesome! Seasoning your pot is pretty easy, I was worried when I did mine but it went pretty smoothly. http://oolongowl.wordpress.com/2013/07/21/the-seasoning-oolong-owl-yixing-teapot-special/
(that tofu method posted in discussion seems fun!)

I ordered the Jasmine Black Pearls too and they make a rather delicious cup!

I just received my first real gaiwan! A little dark brown Yixing with white enamel.

The product on eBay:

Nice, those yixing gaiwans look very attractive. I’ve been tempted by them too.

Tins! From Harney & Sons.

I spent tonight organizing the tea cupboard. Almost everything is in nice, labelled tins now. I’m still waiting for the shipment of mini-tins from EnjoyingTea.com so I can organize the plethora of samples I’ve acquired.

Got my Verdant order. Mweee! X3
My first gaiwan and it’s so nifty. So’s the little cup I got. Now I’m kinda tempted to buy 3 more so I have a set to have tea with my girlfriends. Lol.
Can’t wait to start practicing with it first before making tea. And I got a bunch of samples of different teas to try it with. The little packets are so cute.
I’m kinda bummed ‘cause the packet of Laoshan Roasted Oolong I got seems almost empty. When I weighed it it’s almost half the weight of the other packets I have. /sadface/

Glad your order arrived safely!! Was the Roasted Oolong the free sample, or a sample you ordered? Our extra samples are generally 5g; purchased samples are 7g. Let me know or send me a PM, and we can make sure you receive the correct amount that you ordered!
