I love oolong. When I lost the first 30 pounds (which has come back, I'll admit) I treated myself to a Yixing teapot. It's small, only five inches tall, about enough for two Chinese tea cups, or one of mine. You put in the leaves, brew the tea, and then pour out immediately. You can re-brew oolong a number of times, with each brewing havinga different... character.

I do the same with green teas (my favorite is Genmai cha, which has roasted brown rice in it for a nice nutty scent), but I don't have a yixing pot for greens yet. One should have a pot for each type of tea, because the clay is porous and takes on the taste of the tea you use most.

So ultimately, I want three yixing pots. One for oolong, one for whites and greens, and one for black. And I'll continue to use my gaiwan for delicate whites and greens when I'm the only drinker.


Most of the time, though, I just make a regular pot. *grins*

Oh, and my newest tea purchase is a loose-leaf iced tea pitcher! I love it so far. It's amazing to be able to so easily make iced rose tea (I get this amazing Russian tea with rose petals from a local hole-in-the-wall Russian grocery)

Everything that Luther said was NOT holy.

I told a Sunday School class of 7th and 8th graders that Luther used to cuss or cut wind at the devil to get him to leave him (Luther) alone. They loved it.

I followed it up with "Do not go to your parents and tell them I said it was okay to do this."
