I’m here at my new Synotac home, enjoying the last of a Mao Jian green. Robin Stevens, a contributor to Fresh Cup Magazine, sent some along with her last article. It was made the women of Nanchang Women’s College in Taiwan. The liquor is quite light in color and has a subtle flavor, a little astringent (or is leftover from my yogurt?). Anyway, it’s rolled into tiny strips, around half the length of a silver needle and looks a heck of a lot like it as well—lots of tips. It’s a nice retreat from the (I know, horror of horrors!) machiatto I had this morning. I’m going to try and get a few infusions out of it, as I steeped it for only about a minute—let’s see what it will hold. Glad to be a part of TBD. Thanks Cat and Ben for creating the site—it’s very nicely done. i’ll be back… David
