Today I got two orders from Yunnan Sourcing. They were ordered a week or so apart but happened to arrive together yesterday. Yesterday I was not home to sign for them so to mail jail they went. I picked them up this morning. The larger order was only tea and the second order was largely teawares.

Today I got two orders in the mail. Vahdam Teas shipped from India via Fedex International and it would have been three days had Sunday not gotten in the way. I also got an order of puerh teas from Streetshop88 on EBay.

Just a side note about Vahdam. They ship all their teas in vacuum sealed packaging but include a supply of zip lock packaging to transfer the tea into once you open it. This is very nice as most tea sellers do not do this.

My 150ml kyusu from Artistic Nippon finally arrived yesterday:

I had vowed not to buy anymore teaware after getting my Yunomi shibo but it just doesn’t handle small leaf sencha very well. This one is as functional as its beautiful. I could definitely notice the effect of the clay, rounding out some of the bitterness in the tea.

What’s sad is I only have enough sencha left for a couple of sessions. My 2017 shinchas won’t ship for another 3 weeks. First world problems…

Ooh, that’s a beauty!

Today I received a big order of tea from Yunnan Sourcing including some tongs of ripe tea I am speculating will go up in value.

Are you building a collection with thoughts to sell it off in the future? Like are you buying teas as an investment? Just curious :)

Allan’s 401K is his tea collection. He will be selling curated samples in the future.

Hot Dog! Mail person brought me a box from Yunnan Sourcing. Enclosed a 2007 Menghai “Adorned in Red” 400 gram cake, and a 100 gram mini cake of Jing Gu “Zi Chai” Purple Pu-erh. On my third steep of the Adorned in Red, love the stuff.

mrmopar said

Adorned in Red is a great shou. I am glad Scott stocked them.
