So, I had to go to school early this morning, and rather than miss my morning tea time, I packed up my little glass pot, two small cups, a strainer, and of course a bag of tea! and set up my tea in the cafeteria. I'm sure I've been on the receiving end of many strange looks, but so far no one has approached me to ask what I'm doing.
My tea for this morning is a Ti Kwan Yin I received as a gift. It's from a tea shop in San Luis Obispo, CA called Steinberg Gallery, but I don't know more about it than that. It's a very light tea, and one I have enjoyed on many occasions. I'm brewing it for the first time in my glass pot, and I love how much the flavor changes as I drink. halfway through the second pot, I notice that the flavor has gone from a strong yet light vegetal flavor to a softer and more subtle flavor. Because I am "on the go" it's hard to really experiment with water temperature and steep time, since I only brought a small supply of leaves with me. Still, it's so nice to sit in the busy cafeteria and have my little spot of peace and quiet.
