Summer 2013 Version

Drinking this tea again, after it was gone…waiting for the Summer tea to arrive from Laoshan Village…took patience I do not have!

Laoshan Black grabs me by the ankles, gently sweeping me off my feet as though I am a young girl, wrapping me in delightful cocoa giggles.

If I have loved tea, it is due to this unique leaf unfurling an exquisite new world of aroma and taste. A flame was ignited which continues to illumine my senses.

I feel that I am a youth again, or at least…I know I’m young at heart.

I’ve waited a very long time to write down private thoughts about what drinking tea means to me.

Yesterday, after 2 years of contemplation, I wrote down these thoughts and would be pleased if you would read my blog. www.teaandincense.com

Laoshan Black continues to be a beloved tea and the Summer 2013 harvest has all the magic that I remember from my first tasting long ago.
