Finally got my shipment from Dragon Tea House. Not that long actually, about three weeks. Included:
Kamjove Tea Pot
Pu-erh knife
Supreme Dafo Long Jing Dragon Well
Nonpareil Tie Guan Yin
Mu Ye Chun Mengku Green Cake Raw Pu-erh 2007
Mengsong Peacock Menghai Dayi Raw Pu-erh 2008

So I now have about 4.5 pounds of tea to get through. Reviews forthcoming. I have already invited over my tea-drinking chum. He is on his way with some dim-sum to steam.

I was looking for small tea cups to bring at school.
I went to a kitchen closeout store and found that cheapo ceramic teapot with 2 cups. It has a small infuser basked and is nice for green tea.
Best of all is the price: 3$ CANADIAN. So I can bring it in college without worrying.

It sounds bloody nice, just need to pick up a grinder before it arrives
Nice haul. Let me know how that Oriente DP works out; it sounds interesting. People have had trouble roasting it, I hear, so beware. Apparently it flies through 1st crack into second.UPS just delivered my latest purchases from Sweet Maria's:

My first non-sample tea purchase! Thanks B&B.
I am just old enough to still be amazed at how flat the world we live in has become. I send a e-mail around the world to a guy in China and a week and a half later a box showes up at my door.

Do I see some Xiaguan Bao Yan tuocha in there? I've currently got a brick of it and am amazed at how good it is for such a low price.
Checked out the GreenBeanery - a local store that sells green coffee, fresh roasted coffee and all manner of coffee supplies.
I bought a half pound each of:
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
Ethiopian Harrar (dry process)
Both roasted yesterday.
I also bought a Zassenhaus Lima manual coffee grinder.
In addition to being a little cheaper than the wooden models, I liked both the contemporary design and the fact that you can clean it more easily than the wooden models.
I've played around with it a bit - it takes about 4 - 5 minutes to grind enough coffee for 6 -7 cups of drip coffee. Coarser grinds take less time and smoother grinds more. While a bit of a pain, I got this so I could grind coffee fresh every morning without waking anyone up. It has a nice smooth action and the shape is great - you can use it on the counter, between the legs, under the arm, or held in one hand - much more flexible than any of the other models.
I figure that, at least it will ensure that I get some exercise in the morning!
