2012 Yunnan Gao Shan Cui Ming.
Only now I realize how much I missed watching the young leaves; how I missed their dancing in the glass.
Happy Easter and beautiful spring to everyone!

About Me
- Michal Tallo
- Bratislava, Slovakia
- Necessary to say, I'm not a native English speaker (as you have probably already figured out from my entries), so please forgive me my mistakes and limited use of language. Other than that, I am an eternal student deeply appreciating good tea and all joys connected to it. Among my other interests is poetry – apart from reading, I also try to do my best in writing it. Then goes film, which is a big passion of mine as well as my field of study. Naturally, I would like to continue and deepen these interests in the future.

I like the glass! It's great for drinking and viewing green tea :-) When I was little, this kind of glass (maybe a little smaller, but the same pattern) was the most popular for tea in northern provinces and tea houses of Hangzhou.
ReplyDeleteNice sharing. This photo is just plain beautiful. Blessed Easter :)
ReplyDeleteMichal,
ReplyDeleteYour tea set up is pure and refreshing as usual.
I have never brewed tea in a glass, I must confess.
Apart from that, are you serene about the next harvest in Japan ? The standard level of radiation in tea leaves to allow to sell tea is very restrictive (10 Bq/kg)...Will many batches of tea meet this standrd ?...
(I am drinking such a nice Yame Gyokuro Okumidori 2010 at this time...:-))

Gingko,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy drinking fresh Chinese green teas from glass like this every spring - it just feels very natural to watch the leaves unfold during these sunny days in this manner. Thank you for sharing your interesting memories!
Miss Tea Delight,
Thank you, I really appreciate your words. Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
lionel,
Give brewing tea in a glass a try sometimes, I can really recommend it - it's a significantly different experience from using typical teaware such as gaiwan. I think it's really worth a try!
About the upcoming harvest in Japan, I think the situation is going to be very similar to what we experienced last year - I strongly believe (and hope) that teas from southern regions such as Kyushu and Uji are going to meet these strict standards without any problems, but I'm afraid teas from Shizuoka (and Saitama and other northern tea regions) won't, unfortunately. That is definitely a pity - but let's just hope the harvest from southern region is going to be as excellent as it was last year to compensate the loss. :-)
