I had the Keemun Concerto today. I made it a bit light, when I was looking for a stronger flavor.

I got lots of tea for Christmas. My sister gave me a beautiful enameled cast iron teacup. My mom got me Christmas loose tea, which came in sealed silver bag. It's flavored with something...I don't remember what. She opened it before I wanted to, and now it's just sitting, unsealed. I haven't even put it in a ziplock back. Bad. Two different co-workers gave me tea: mostly in teabag form, and not-even-tea type stuff, like Rooibos, Mint, and some other kind. I got real tea, too, but it has artificial flavorings in it...It's drinkable, but not great. I also discovered the Twinings is now selling Earl Grey tea loose in 100 g containers (about 3.5 oz) at the grocery store!

I got Ahmad tea...all the teas say that they are the "finest" but I'm beginning to wonder what that is, or what it means.

Lastly, I got a reply email from Adagio, and I have to say I'm impressed. I'll put up the response later today if I think about it.
