I have new neighbors! And they are perfect. She drinks tea and has 2 boys that are right around the same age as my little man and they love playing together. They came over yesterday for some playing and we were going to have some tea. She warned me ahead of time that she pretty much only drinks tea with milk and honey (which is totally fine, I do that with several of my teas, and used to do it with all of them!)
But I thought I’d give her something she’d enjoy straight. There is a sense of accomplishment (I know, weird) that comes with realizing you enjoy tea totally straight. At least there was for me. Given my luck with Butiki’s wild mountain black with my father in law, this seemed like another good one to give her.
I used my little orchid yixing pot that is just too adorable for words and dumped a ton of leaves in it. Then we just had cup after cup of it. She was totally blown away and was super excited that she found a tea she enjoys drinking straight. It was also cool to talk to her about yixing pots and the history behind them and explain leaf hoppers. We’ve decided to make a weekly playdate/tea party as she is curoius to learn more.
These taiwanese teas are great converter teas. They can convert anyone!

that’s so awesome! I wish i had someone in the building who would come have tea with me…epsecially on weekends! :)
Yeah, it’s pretty great all around. The boys yell at each other across the fence and then we’ll send them to one side or the other and sit and relax. We moved to a new house a year ago and it’s not as much of a neighborhood as the place we left so I was worried the kids wouldn’t have that ‘neighborhood’ experience, but it worked out great!
That sounds awesome!
