drank 2005 Rocket Yiwu by White2Tea
737 tasting notes

I took a 3-day weekend. Work has really been getting under my skin lately. Patience is very thin. Without divulging, I will say I am severely disappointed in the company’s lack of leadership and of principle in an era when both are so sorely needed. Thank glob it rained for a moment today. Wash away the bullshit.

According to mechanic friend, this humid-aged Yiwu sheng smells like an old leather BDSM hood, the kind with a slit for the mouth. One cup of this tea also miraculously got rid of the crook in his neck. Mhm. I think he likes it. It is certainly a solid tea that I would drink the hell out of if I had a cake. Worthy of a spin of dank D&B with headphones. Dance, derk, dance!

mrmopar, eternal gratitude.

Album pairing: Matrix — Sleepwalk

Edit: while drinking and listening to this record, something in my turntable picked up the air traffic control frequency from the airport nearby. I can hear pilot chatter through my headphones in the quieter moments.

This note had me all over the place. First anger at work, then confusion about the mechanic, then pleased that his neck is better, then confusion about D&b music (guess I am showing my age cuz I don’t know what that is) then neat-o about the airport. Ha ha! Thanks for the ride! I wish whole akes of such happy tea! Nay, tongs, even!

Welcome my friend. We have had the rain and the lack of leadership at work as well.

I think an absence of any kind of leadership in the workplace of late is the rule rather than the exception. Good tea and 3 day weekends can go far at beginning to heal resentment and disillusionment.

Hope the knots in your own neck are unwinding now.

You should change the frequency if you are able. You shouldn’t hear that. But it’s funny story around interesting tea — I try to don’t see that tea have ability to change mind, but it certainly can.

And happy you managed to take three days off.

Ashmanra: Don’t worry, even much younger, it took me a second

ashmanra

I still don’t know! Ha ha! I am guessing the D is for dance!

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
