Yixing teapots!!!! Loving it!

I have been so busy since new year! here are some yixing teapots that I have bought except 3 were given to me as Christmas presents and valentine gifts!

i am so into these teapots! The gaiwan on the right was given by Jose, and the top left teapot was from mom! She bought it from Chinatown, quite pricey! i also bought a tea tray for myself for $110 bucks from a flea market downtown!

the rest of the teapots i bought it when i was out shopping. couldn't remember the price but i remembered i paid quite a lot for them.

most probably i will get them online next time.

i had tasted quite a number of teas lately as well but didnt have the time to blog about it!

gotta run!

Shui Xian chinese oolong tea

Shui Xian Tea, i brewed different shui xian sampler from Teacuppa today. One was very strong with aroma and richer in its flavor, the other one has a milder aroma and lighter in its flavor. Both has different tasting notes. But i prefer the milder one. the lighter liquid is the milder one.

Their teas so far has not dissapointed me. I just orderes 4 oz of the milder Shui Xian and waiting for the delivery. :)

I am planning to get the famous 4 Wuyi Teas from them in future but would wait till i learn to drink and appreciate more teas first.


On other notes, i have been extremely busy with a new projects coming up. I need to sketch out a advert for a billboard for a new club in town! ...

Stressing out! Cioaz!

Saddam to be hanged

Wow, they really hang him!

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein, among the world’s most brutal dictators, struggled briefly after American military guards handed him over to Iraqi executioners. But as his final moments approached, he grew calm. Dressed in a black coat and trousers, he clutched a Quran as he was led to the gallows, and in one final moment of defiance, refused to have a hood pulled over his head.
After a quarter-century of remorseless brutality that killed countless thousands and led Iraq into disastrous wars against the United States and Iran, Saddam was executed before sunrise Saturday.
A man whose testimony led to Saddam’s conviction and execution said he was shown the body because “everybody wanted to make sure that he was really executed.”

Ti Guan Yin Oolong Tea review

I tried 2 different brand of tie guan yin. one from teacuppa anxi ti guan yin and another one ten ren tie guan yin. The top one from Teacuppa.com while the bottom one is from Ten Ren. Somehow i cant find the photo with teacuppa oolong tea infusion. But compared to the ten ren infusion, teacuppa infusion was yellow-greenish.

Both tea has different taste. The Teacuppa one has more greenish ti guan yin taste while the one from Ten Ren was more roasted taste of oolong tea. both teas are unique. it is hard for me to judge as both tea has different characteristic. Somehow i prefer the greenish oolong from teacuppa as it gives me a fresh tea leaves aroma and taste.

Get them to judge them yourself!
