Had a matcha smoothie today at the Tao of Tea, wasn't bad, but didn't knock my socks off. Had a TON of ice in it though.

@ Looks like 1 of the pots didn't go with the set. Will have to figure out if it's indeed purple clay.

Finding more success with the Keemun, shorter brewing times make for a happier cup. Less bitter and more balanced.

@ their tea is superb in every other way, it was surprising that it lacked any Qi. If it had... it would be worth 2x the price.

@ I've shared tea w/ a group of people and each could individually acknowledge the specific qi in a tea. It doesn't take a master
