Zoo Teas

This morning was Pi Lo Chun (which translates, apparently, to green snail spring). It is a good basic Chinese green, but not as good as Dragonwell from earlier or the Green Pekoe from yesterday. I would probably like this tea more if I had tried it after the Green Pekoe.

Though I must say for it, I think the leaves are gorgeous.

And further in the animal tea theme that seems to be happening today, I've got some Ti Kuan Yin Monkey Picked. Quite a yummy tea. And, though different from the Pi Lo Chun's leaves, it has some quite lovely leaves of its own.


Monkey tea

Just thought I'd share!

The snail green tea looks similar to little dried fish I ate in Korea. Bet what you have makes better tea. Cute picture of Gidgett and the manatee.

Okay, yes it was better than dried mini-fish (I've had something similar - crunch, salty and a little freaky). The pi lo chun was much better than that. Not a phenomenal tea but much better than the crunchy fish.
