A Moment of Descendants
+Jen Piccotti wrote a lovely post about having one of my new favorite oolongs with her parents. Smooth Floral Touch is definitely a tea that begs to be shared. Sometimes I wish that my family would by willing to give gongfu a try. It’s just not for them though.
Seasoning A Boob-Shaped Yixing Teapot
+Geoffrey Norman and I have probably had more conversations about boob shaped teapots that anyone else we know. His latest post, especially the accompanying video, resulted in fits of giggles.

Warren at Simple Subtle Tea reminded me of how much I’ve been missing my Global Tea Hut subscription. Their annual shipment of Ruby 18 is one that I always looked forward to. At keast I got to live vicariously through his tasting notes.
