Another Oolong sample from Mud and Leaves, this one a Taiwanese 2019 "Jin Xuan Golden Lily". A "Milk Oolong", it is very light, subtle oolong with no roast and medium (25%) Oxidation. Tasty, but I probably should have drunk it sooner...

HeHuanShan High Mountain Oolong (2019) from Mud and Leaves light and cheery Taiwanese oolong; light oxidation, no roast. Almost a green tea. I should probably have drunk it sooner, but the sample was vacuum sealed, so probably not much change in my cool basement storage.

Alishan High Mountain Hade Oolong (spring, 2021) from Mud and Leaves is a super clean light oxidation and roast Taiwanese oolong. Pretty close to a green tea.

Tea fixings
The advantage to bringing all your tea fixings on a trip is you are never surprised by what's available in the hotel or AirBNB. The only question is one of space, tea or clarinet?

A tea knife and some black tea
I like flat headed style tea knife like this one more than the pick style for most compressed tea. More like an oyster knife than a regular kitchen knife.

I appreciate this Azure Spring Sun Dried black tea from Mud and Leaves, but some mornings I wish it was a little less elegant, a bit more of a bruiser Dian Hong.
