Just a short entry today, as I unearthed my batch of Jade Rings from the
bottom of my office pantry drawer. I had bought 100gms of the lovely white
tea from London in August last year, and probably due to the fact that I had
kept them in a dark, cool place and in an airtight container (thank you
boss, for the Famous Amos can with airtight seal), the fragrance and
appearance of the leaves have not changed much at all.

The leaves are almost perfect rings, in chalky green when dry and turn light
olive green when steeped. I put rather too much leaves in my first cup and
the result was a little bitter. However, the white tea fragrance is still
there, perhaps at 75% of its original strength. Not bad for a tea that has
travelled around the world (China >> London >> Singapore).
