In fact, I still can't, after trying to follow your link.<BR/><BR/>Unless the tea is truly outstanding, I won't be buying it, I suspect. The notes I have read don't make it a compelling purchase for the cost. I'll get around to tasting it soon. :)<BR/><BR/><BRHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-58857599379771793762007-06-03T12:27:00.000+01:002007-06-03T12:27:00.000+01:00Hobbes, your memory is obviously failing youhttp:/...Hobbes, your memory is obviously failing you<BR/><BR/>http://www.houdeasianart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=691<BR/><BR/>I drank the Chawang again yesterday.
