“There is some Liu-an tea in the cabinet in the master suite. You can sleep a part of that and bring it back for us to drink.” Lot‘s of tea references here: I‘m reading with some Liu An Gua Pian, or melon seed tea.

Haha, I just realized I am in the middle of reading or rereading seven different series that are trilogies or bigger. And also in a reading group that reads one page of Finnegans Wake a week. Living the reader life! 📖🤓❤️

"Wu Yüeh-niang Sweeps Snow in Order to Brew Tea." Finally starting Vol.2 of the Chin P'ing Mei. I don't have the "Phoenix Tablet Sparrow Tongue" tea mentioned here but I'm enjoying my reading with some Que She 928 yancha wulong.
