@ L&G: sorry I majored in Chemistry in high school, so... a little obsessed with it, I think

so, back to your new avatar. Hexagon. Hmm. Hexagon can lead us to France, honeycomb, benzene, the star of David... nothing ralated to mythology. However I came across this when googling:

Quote:
The Cube when viewed from the divine orientation forms the Hexagon. The hexagon has its counterpart the hexagram, which is represented as two interlaced triangles and is most commonly known today as the Star of David.

To the Pythagoreans the Interlaced Triangles represent the inseparable unity of spirit and matter. The pointing upward triangle represents spirit and the pointing downward triangle represents matter. The Pythagoreans know this symbol as the symbol of creation.
anywhere close to the truth?

Green Pu-Erh.
I am trying green Pu-Erh from Tea House Emporium that I didn't like, but this time I brewed it 30 seconds top (20 seconds + 4 dips) vs. 3 minutes as written on the package.

Not bad. I would say quite nice.

Who can understand this complex world of teas?

Chah's Milk Oolong.


I am very surprised by Tea House Emporium's green Pu-Erh. I pretty much gave up on green Pu-Erh. It is quite pleasant if steeping it for 20-30 seconds only. A different tea.

The East India Company's Keemun is Keemun Downy Bud. PekoeTea's Keemun is Finest Keemun Mao Feng Black Tea.
Any of them pekoe? No idea.
Quote:
Pekoe to describe a basic, medium-grade black tea consisting of many whole tea leaves of a specific size
I don't think that Keemun Downy Bud is whole leaf. Too small. They claim it is Keemun Downy Bud grade A Loose Leaf tea, which is the highest.
I don't understand anything

Btw., finished the cup of Chah's Milk Oolong. I like it. It is less fragrant and less sweet than Tea House Emporium's Milk Oolong. However, after googling it a bit today, it is quite possible that Chah's Milk Oolong is the genuine one, while the other one is artificial.

Sorry, no . They actually have to do with mythology...
They kind of look like snowflakes and the right one has dots, so maybe rain drops spinning? Which would be bad weather. The left one changes from flat to cube for me, when looking at it. The only mythological figure that comes to mind that even seems slightly related, right now, is Thor, so Thor's hammer and thunder with lightning. So, maybe something to do with lightning in bad weather?

Making a cup of coffee right now.

yep! it would only be better if I had Strider and Arwen here. Pi comes everyday. sometimes she comes in, but not always. she is having a doggie spa day on Friday so she will be much nicer to be around after that (she actually isn't too bad right now, but even so...)
