I'm not dead! I didn't really start a blog either, I've had that
for quite a few years and unfortunately I haven't had time recently to
update it. If you want a decent Jasmine go with a Jasmine Pearl type.
They range from decent to exceptional, but rarely if ever are they
poor and compared to the crap shoot with many loose jasmine greens
it's always a safe bet.

I've been doing a lot of artwork lately and just enjoying tea again,
not worrying about writing about it.
