Dear tea gods, this is amazing!

Upon first pouring the water into my new Lu Yao gaiwan (!!) to rinse the leaves, the aroma was so powerful! Almost indescribably powerful! My face was at least two and a half feet away from the gaiwan and the aroma reached me and hit me so hard with awe.
Upon first sip, I literally exclaimed: “It’s so sweet!”
And the color is an absolutely brilliant red. :)

I’ve had a migraine all day… but this, brewing a wonderful new tea in my beautiful new gaiwan… I couldn’t wish for anything more right now.

Bio

Wolf girl. Writer. Artist. Gamer. Geek.

I joined Steepster back in August of 2009. Since then, I have been lurking around shyly and taken it all in. Just recently, I decided to log all of the teas that I have in my cupboard and from there I decided to be a bit more active on the site!

I’m addicted to four things: Tea, wolves, indie perfume, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

My favorite teas right now: Ming Hong and Halmonicha

Broadly speaking I also love: Most Chinese red teas, most Fujian oolongs, and balhyochas.

I’ve been drinking loose-leaf teas since childhood. I love everything from tieguanyin to gyokuro to a good British cuppa. I am looking forward to trying every tea type out there and building an extensive pu-erh library.
