They look healthy and the freshness is just shining from them!<br /><br />You are very right when you are saying you don’t like to Compare anything. I must agree. The best is just put the lips in the cup and the nose in the pot and enjoy the tea itself. Beacause we drink the tea itself and not the leaflet, don’t we?<br /><br />Great post.

Encourages me to look into all there is to learn from tea (which is not only nice things in my experience), and this I find one of the best ways to write - or read - about tea.<br /><br />- MartinA Student Of Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049646395598215963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727521328343677127.post-27845382036310013682012-02-03T14:38:34.044+01:002012-02-03T14:38:34.044+01:00Martin, thank you for your comment.
It is always...Martin, thank you for your comment. <br /><br />It is always a real surprise for me when I get a feedback like this one. Writing a blog is most of the time very solitary thing. The truth is, I did not expect anybody to comment the first paragraph, probably for realizing how strange it might sound. I am aware of the fact that my entries are very personal and sometimes also quite moody. However, after such a long time of learning to drink tea (15 years) I cannot separate my own experience of it from the rest of my life. The more I drink it, the more humble I feel, realizing that when it comes to life itself, I am still a rookie, just making an effort to live it my own way in harmony with the rest of the world. Tea helps me stop and see through and I am grateful for it. That's probably the only intention I have here, to express myself freely and avoid any judgment at all. I believe that we all have our own paths (as well as tastes) and Ms.Tea is simply a very good teacher.<br /><br />-ER-ADAMUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956207425758609786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727521328343677127.post-8646155500073730802012-02-03T12:01:36.608+01:002012-02-03T12:01:36.608+01:00A lot here that resonates with me ...

I would be curious to read more if you probably write about it later on, but I realize that it mainly means I ought to look into my own stuff more deeply. My start of 2012 felt rough, too, along with a sense that things (mostly inside) won't be the same any more. I get a sense I want to understand anew what gong fu really means to me. Craving some Bulang that I found too unbalanced in it's bitter side before. Strange, but I agree on your point about dynamic change vs. monotonuous flow.<br /><br />Really appreciate your writing!<br /><br />- MartinA Student Of Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049646395598215963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727521328343677127.post-24073134323392588532012-01-29T17:43:50.690+01:002012-01-29T17:43:50.690+01:00Hey Jakub, thanks for your comment, I hope the sam...Hey Jakub, thanks for your comment, I hope the sample gets fast to your teapot :) I'd be interested in your own impression considering this one! <br />-ER-ADAMUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956207425758609786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727521328343677127.post-42503303297404121162012-01-29T08:14:19.654+01:002012-01-29T08:14:19.654+01:00Sounds very interesting, Esteban!

I agree, it is quite hard to find time for all of us unless we try... it is actually what I am trying to do, to stop myself from rushing each time I realize I am trapped within the whole craziness of fulfilling goals, which is, btw, neverending. Sometimes I do succeed, sometimes I don't but the more I try, the better I feel. Or actually more alive. And in reference to our parents I totally agree with you, all respect to them and new babies too, I am sure they come here to educate us too.

It should have been done the other way round, I know now with all respect. This tea needs care.
