The frog survived the long, hard fall...but the bottom half and front half were broken. It still accompanies me whenever I drink tea...sentimental reasons and it's got nice patina to it already. <A HREF="http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t244/AITAW/?action=view¤t=Yixing.jpg" REL="nofollow">This is an old pic</A> that I could find when~ Phyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089209028096768776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27252543.post-20025111879772194132008-07-05T13:17:00.000-07:002008-07-05T13:17:00.000-07:00Phyll, your froggy cha chong has broken stand or i...Phyll, your froggy cha chong has broken stand or it should be like this?Tuo Cha Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948259434826911982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27252543.post-17720656164889406142008-07-05T09:44:00.000-07:002008-07-05T09:44:00.000-07:00Yes, it's all just a personal preference, as I men...Yes, it's all just a personal preference, as I mentioned in the post. I didn't know how this old tea would behave, so I was being conservative. In hindsight, this Shui Xian was mild enough that I think filling the pot 3/4 or entirely would have been alright (for me). But then again, that would've consumed the entire 25gr and not leave any for another try...unless I buy more :)~ Phyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089209028096768776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27252543.post-7159455522176026772008-07-05T06:02:00.000-07:002008-07-05T06:02:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this special experience.Interes...Thanks for sharing this special experience.<BR/><BR/>Interesting that MarshalN just mentioned that he stuffs the pot with Yancha, Brandon (in a comment there) mentions a third of a pot, and now you mention one half. I must say, that is some enormous variation!Salserohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538918784870619787noreply@blogger.com
