If you didn't try this tea I strongly advice you to do this because, as I know, orchids are also you strong passion. And I think you'll love it also:-)<BR/><BR/>Use gaiwan, water reached "crab eyes" point then cooled down to 70-60 per celsium, and sufficient amount of tea with very short steeping time for a first steeping and the rest you know cause you are more experienced tea drinker than me:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31843014.post-1170916769161467592007-02-07T22:39:00.000-08:002007-02-07T22:39:00.000-08:00Thanks Marshaln.Innerspace,I'll post detail tastin...Thanks Marshaln.<BR/><BR/>Innerspace,<BR/><BR/>I'll post detail tasting notes in the near future. :)Imenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16810835688957113404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31843014.post-1170883379878624742007-02-07T13:22:00.000-08:002007-02-07T13:22:00.000-08:00Interesting.

It won't make much difference anyway, aging wise.<BR/><BR/>Stick a knife in sideways (horizontally) into the brick... deep, and then just pry. The brick should peel into half. It should be small enough then to just work loose the leaves. Better than chipping at it from the sides, IMHO...MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31843014.post-1170869052625816622007-02-07T09:24:00.000-08:002007-02-07T09:24:00.000-08:00Relzunk,thanks for stopping by!
