(Two days after the mini Verdant Teas rant)
(creeps out, looks around furtively, and makes some more of this even though she complained about the barley flavor)
(looks around furtively as she drinks it at night because she didn’t feel like white or green tea)
(eats crow)
(seriously considers buying a gaiwan)
(eats more crow)
Dammit.

I love this post!
One of my early posts here on Steepster starts with, “I need a Gaiwan”, lol. Now I have 4 of them, plus a yixing, a tiny porcelain teapot, & a crazy assortment of other paraphenalia, not to mention all the teapots, cups, & stuff that I had before I joined steepster. My yixing is for wuyi oolongs, including this Shui Jin Gui, which is one of my 3 current favorites. :D
I’m glad people like this post. :P Another part of my wanting to get a gaiwan is that I feel like it would force me to focus on the experience of the tea, especially if I was doing multiple steepings. One of the reasons I drink tea is that it’s one of the only quasi-meditative things I do, and I’d like to enjoy that more fully.
Lol! We’ve all been there! :-)
LOL!
