Day 3 of a 30-day work marathon (evenings and weekends included). I'm already tired. Not a good sign. Of course I'm now on hour 14 of the workday with a couple more to go.

One thing is clear: I need more tea.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful tea you sent with the teaboxes. It's been very much appreciated and seriously yum.

Hopefully you can get decent sleep? (I'm assuming by now know are quite familiar with your body's reaction to tea-caffiene and timings and such)

Hi there! We really enjoyed the tea boxes too -- rather missed trading them this year. We'll have to do another tea box round, or perhaps just a direct exchange sometime again. It was definitely one of my holiday highlights, and I stretched out and savored your teas for as long as possible!

Regarding tea and sleep, yes we seem to have the timings and teas down now. We wake up with something tippy, like a silver needle or Yunnan gold bud and a few hours before bedtime we do a good pu-erh, which both helps with digestion and more importantly is very, very relaxing. A few of the better pu-erhs practically bring about catatonia before the last steeping!

I find it amusing that our drinking habits directly conflict with popular (urban myth) advice, wherein white teas are said to be the least caffeinated and pu-erh the most. Even many tea shop owners seem a bit perplexed when I mention we often wake up with silver needle. Funny.
