The only 'english' is the pinyin name for each tea. I always
suspected you could identify chinese tea by texture of the infused
leaf. The pictures in the book are the best I've seen. It's like the
dry,infused leaf and tea cup is right in front of you. My local tea
shoppe unloaded some Ying Shan Yun Wu because the supplier couldn't
give the owner more precise information. It almost paid for the
book. Can you give me what you think is an error? I cant read the
chinese. I can but it would take awhile.
During my sabbatical my wife gets a gift card for one of the most
expensive malls in the country. Some of the stores make Neiman-Marcus
seem like Walmart. I pass a tea store and its TEAVANA. From the mall
I see some prices like $9 and $15 and I assume that is probably for
125g. I get inside and that is per ounce. I got a chuckle from the
owner when I asked why there were so many scented white teas. She
said that is what the customers want. She recommended something
called Six Summits. I actually like it but too expensive for me when
I run out. I did come away with mostly herbal Nine Treasures which I
keep away from my other teas because of the heavy scent. I feel
sorry for stores like that because the person behind me only wanted to
buy organic tea. I did find a culinary store with the complete line
of Bodum Pavina/Canteen double wall vacuum glasses.
I'm just about over being ****ed at Qwest. If I see their internet
modem drop one ip packet in the first year under warranty im sending
it back and requesting a new one. My favorite independent bookstore
also told the feds to go take a hike when they wanted to find the
books like How To Make An Agricultural Bomb sold to any aspiring
ethnic Timothy McVay.
