			             Decemberby Carol Ann Duffy link   Gui Hua Oolong: Lightly oxidized oolong combined with the pleasant  aroma of osmanthus flower. This tea is refreshingly light and has a  hint of peachy flavor.
  Currently using: Ceramic Gaiwan (lvl 2) - quintessential Chinese tea  brewing vessel. The thin ceramic lends itself to all types of larger leafed  teas. The lid is used as the strainer. No low grade black teas, japanese  sencha allowed, or small leafed herbals allowed.

     Arya pearl darjeeling: A rare tea, this organic tea is one of the most carefully produced teas  in all of Darjeeling. The delicate leaves are plucked promptly, at the break of dawn,  while dew still covers the tea bushes. They are then dried in the sun for a few hours,  rolled in fine silk cloth and then finished with a final round of sun-drying.

			             A few splashes disturb the peachy surface of the tea and upon closer inspection one can see a small fish circling around the cup. Where did that come from?
