Just picked up another package of this, last week. Yum. Needing it to clear some grease flavor, leftover from lunch, from my mouth.
Plus, it is just delicious.

Oh this is delicious. This is absolutely what I needed, this afternoon.
Sushi lunch with the standard sushi-house green tea was tasty, but this…this hits the spot.

Haha I am eating sushi as I read this note. It must have been a sushi kind of day.

Spencer

Must have been! Having tea with that?

mj

Naturally :-) Jade Oolong by The Northern Lights Tea Company. I actually shocked myself by wanting something green tea-ish and that’s the closest thing I have other than Moroccan Mint. But mint + sushi? No thanks

mj

Ok, weird question, but I see that you are into fountain pens, inks, and paper. Do you happen to be a forensic document examiner?

Spencer

Mint plus sushi does sound weird. Oolong could be tasty though!

Haha, I am not a forensic document examiner. For that matter, nor do I have the skills for handwriting analysis. I simply enjoy the tactile, analog experience of handwriting, as well as the engineering of fountain pens.

My mom is a forensic document examiner and she restores and collects Sheaffer pens and typewriters. That’s where that weird question came from :)

Spencer

Very cool! I just finished restoring a Sheaffer Balance Slender, myself, though I am quite the amateur at it.

One of my favorite pu’erh, this one is going to be the drinker for the morning.

As I steep several gaiwans to fill a mug, I take a moment to sample a tiny cupful from each steeping, enjoying the uniqueness before they are all put together in a more unique mixture.

After six or seven steeps, I think this is done for now. It was a delicious session, though!

I needed something a bit darker and stronger than the Royal Pu’erh from Vital Leaf, so steep one for this is a go!

Steeping number two at the office. So far so good!
The office is still mostly empty, so it is a bit early to tell in regard to the questions.

Decided to attempt to take this into the office to drink. With a Finum single cup brew basket and a mug, I can at least sketch a bit of a parody of gong fu brewing. We shall see, what the coworkers reaction to the aroma will be…
