Hi Carla! Thanks for the holiday wishes! Hope yours is going well, too. Yes, the temperature seems to have a great effect on the green tea. It's such a subtle taste. I like it best with soy milk. The Book of Tea looks interesting. I LOVED "The Dharma Bums". I looked up every word I even vaguely didn't recognize. It's all about Buddhism. I want to read "On The Road", also by Kerouac, because it was written before "The Dharma Bums". Did you know Kerouac wrote "The Dharma Bums" in Orlando? His…

Mike,<br />
So glad I was able to prepare a good cup of tea for you.<br />
<br />
I had a wonderful lesson from my friend Junnon. I'd made some green tea with boiling water, instead of slightly cooler (180 F) and she asked me, "can't you smell how it smells a little burnt?" And then I could smell a faint scorched scent. After that I've cooled the water a bit before pouring if over the leaves.<br />

Happy new year! Wishing you many lovely cups of tea.<br />
