They say that the date 12/13/14 is a lucky number. Well it is for me. While I am still grieving over the loss of my cat Pandora, tonight I am celebrating. For over a year I have been involved in a legal dispute with the insurance company for my employer. I have been suing over occupational asthma. Over a year ago I won my initial case. The slimebags, represented by slimebags, appealed the case. While the case was in appeals they paid none of my medical bills. Today I got a letter in the mail saying the case had been decided in my favor. The insurance company has lost their appeal. Hopefully they will not appeal again. In any case, today I celebrate with the best tea I have enjoyed in ages.
This tea is sweet with a mild amount of fermentation flavor. It is incredibly delicious. I would venture to say notes of chocolate and berries. Dark chocolate in the early steeps, berries in the later steeps. This is the best tea I have had in ages, on par with the best shou I have enjoyed.
I steeped this eight times in a 207ml Taiwan Clay Teapot with 8.6g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 10 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, and 4 min. Judging by the strength of the eighth steep I would say that there were 2 to 4 more steeps in this tea. I hope he doesn’t run out of this soon, because I want to buy more. It is not cheap but it is worth it.
Flavors: Berries, Dark Chocolate

I need to bust into one of mine. I do think $18 for a 100 gram cake is reasonable for a good tea though
So glad you enjoyed this! There’s 5 more cakes available now and 270 more arriving in Feb/March :-)
And congrats on winning your case!
Yes! Congrats! Im drinking this now
Oh, looks like another WP shou I need to order.
Congrats on your case. Insurance companies are absolutely awful.
I just hope they don’t appeal again. Hopefully the insurance company will realize it is cheaper to pay me than to keep paying the lawyers. Plus, hopefully by now they realize they have no case.
Yay – that’s great news about winning the case!
How many cakes are in a tong? I might be interested in a tong when you get the 270 cakes in stock.
There’s 10 cakes in a tong, and i do a 15% discount on a tong :-)
Congrats!
Woohoo!
Now I just hope that the slimebag insurance company does not appeal. They had no case before and would have no case again. Hopefully they realize they have no legal case and don’t want to spend thousands.
Congrats Allan…
And I’m glad you liked the cake, I do too!!
Sounds like good news! Do they also have to pay your attorney’s fees?
I don’t pay the attorney unless I win, then he takes 15% of any award. If they keep appealing and this goes to the NYS Court of Appeals I may have to pay an attorney.
