*Once a group of friends of mine were talking about what you are going to do if you won $10M lottery. A friend said, I would still be doing what I’m doing now. At the time he was merely a graduate student living […]

*Very interesting!I’ve got quite a few people asking me when I’m going to have a bricks and mortar store. But so far I’ve never had such intention. It would be too expensive and involving too much dish washing […]

@riccaicedo your blog is very nice! I think it’s a good idea to have a site on teatra.de. My blog has its own site but I enjoy having a blog at the same pace on teatra.de. Because teatra.de is a society of tea […]

Just remember this and would like to give some updates.
I think I got my first fraud payment through paypal – or am I lucky to get only the 1st till now? :-p

But it’s pretty much my own fault. I shipped a […]

*I didn’t get it. If one would like to resteep the leaves, why not just resteep it and why let it dry before resteeping? That sounds a little tedious :-p

I hope they can beat starbucks, and they have good chance!You know that some affluent people in China have been making themselves miserable. They couldn’t bear with the tannin taste of wine, and couldn’t bear with […]

* There is a popular saying among some Chinese contemporary tea drinkers that, “It should be you drinking tea, not you being consumed by tea.” :-)This saying especially targets on the phenomenon that sometimes […]

*I didn’t know you are this anti-health :-pI thought it was fine saying “Additionally, as

*There was a time that I didn’t feel like to write much. But later I decided to make it a venting site and just dump out whatever I have in my mind :-pBut I think a lot of good stuff you put on forum discussions […]

*I have very conflicting feelings about oreos. I remember there was a time period I love them and ate them every day! But in recent years, I feel it’s invading Chinese diet while a lot of Americans are shifting to […]

That’s a good question! I was wondering about it too! I wouldn’t mind at all, as long as the box is clean. But I do suspect some people would mind getting orders in a used box. So far I have been using new boxes […]

I didn’t count but estimate we have around 60-70 in Life in Teacup. But quite a few of the green teas are seasonal and would be sold out by summer. I have been thinking of exactly the question Xavier asked. I feel […]

I think a blog is a private space, as long as it’s not against teatra.de rules. So I think any critique or suggestions should start from teatra.de rules, not from the specific blog. But I don’t see any necessity […]

I hope to go to World Tea East sometime! Vegas in summer that’s too much for me

Just as others said, I’ve never seen White Peony listed as a green tea. The cultivar is made in to oolong in Wuyi region, but it’s not as famous as the white tea version of White Peony.

@lahikmajoe, I feel for […]

Thanks guys for your responses and comments! Indeed, it’s important for all sellers/wholesalers/importers to think “what’s the value I’ve added to this product?”

I like the title of this post 😀
