Typically, Saturday’s were designated as tea day. I spent a great deal of time, tweeting, blogging, and drinking tea in the midst of homework and other life obligations. Sadly, over the last few months, I have fallen out of sync with my normal routine. I haven’t even pulled out my Yixing Teapots lately. So , [...]

It’s Saturday, early evening, and of course I should be studying, but I decided to take a much needed tea break. Although who needs a break after an hour or two of studying – I’m just not focused. Evidenced by the fact that since I started studying, I made a light dinner and commenced to [...]
