# Tea

I enjoy the full experience of drinking tea. From the smell of leaves before 
they're prepared - to the warming of vessels - and thorough the numerous 
infusions brought out in several steepings. I usually prepare my tea the 
*Gong Fu* style, the "artsy" brewing method. 

Not that I wouldn't enjoy a teabag of black, with a dash of milk. That got me 
through my education, in earnest.

So, I usually organize a tea ceremony every now and then to share some of my 
stash with others and calm after a busy work day. Feel free to reach out in 
case you're somewhere nearby and this sounds appealing.

As for the teas themselves, I don't usually have favourites, but as whimsy 
would make me pick, I'll write some about:

Four Famous Rock Wulongs (alternate spelling for oolong), and one I've had 
most, *Da Hong Pao*. These are teas of Wuyi Mountains and they exhibit a 
taste reminiscent of a mountain. Strong, indomitable, experience that mellows 
out into easy drinking over the infusions. Would definitely recommend any 
of these teas.
