September 28, 2008 -A Bee and some Tea-

I have decided that, starting today, I am going to include a picture with every post. A quality picture, something interesting, something you want to see. And no, I'm not going to jack pictures off of google or anything like that, these will all be pictures taken by me.
I'm starting off with this little guy in spirit of the toad incident and because I think it's probably one of the best pictures I've ever taken. (Click for much better image quality.) I caught the bee on a cold day so I could take as many pictures as I wanted without having to worry about being stung.
I've been browsing the web today for teaware. I really want to get into gongfu brewing but I don't have a gaiwan, I really want the green lotus one on Tao of Tea's website. I need a matcha set too, and they can be really pricey. The tins that they put their limited edition teas in at Tao of Tea are incredibly tempting, as are the storage tins for sale by Rishi. I need more teapots horribly, I really like the Japanese Fukugatas, but they can be hard to find. I have yet to try Gunpowder green, Dragonwell, or Puerh, and I've heard nothing but top notch ratings for all three. I've got a long shopping list for the next time I have the money to blow on my tea obsession.

I suggest you look at the Upton Tea
website. And good luck with Bleak House...Although I much prefer Great Expectations. I did manage to finish both novels, and I can say the Bleak House is a little long-winded compared to Expectations. Good luck on your studies...
