Chief Leaf reporting from Taiwan here. I arrived yesterday, just after the typhoon moved to the mainland. (Probably not a good thing to come in during the storm). After a bit of a delay at the airport waiting for the rest of my group ( who needed to fly around the typhoon) we met for dinner at a tea resturant that is part of the Tawinese TenRen. Afterwards we went to a comfortable tea house and enjoyed a couple of teas that are grown in the north here including a Tung Ting. I am please d to report that it was simliar, possibly a little lighter in body, than the oolong we have in our stock!
The two days prior I was relaxing and sightseing in Hong Kong. I will return there in a couple of days to attend the Hong Kong International Tea Fair. Lots to learn. Lots to see.
Today in Taiwan we will visit one of their historical museums, and a tea museum in Ping Ling.
In the mean time, enjoy your sipping in Nebraska. I do plan to snap some pictures, but the darned lens keeps fogging up due to humidity.
Enjoy,
Tim
