My SecretSanta did an excellent job of stalking my profile. I'm a tea drinker that's been gradually becoming a tea aficionado. It would appear my SS is also a fan of tea and frequents /r/tea as her gift to me included some of /r/tea's favorite things: green matcha powder, a matcha whisk, Chinese red (puerh) tea, and a bible of tea. I'm actually kind of scared at how well my SS figured me out...I was in Vancouver last week looking at matcha whisks and powder at a Japanese shop. How did you know?

I've tried the matcha per instructions found within /r/tea. I don't have the traditional matcha cup, but the glass tea cup worked as an alternative. With a little practice and the use of a scale to get the matcha down to the gram I think I'll have the perfect cup. I'm hoping to crack open the book of tea this weekend and learn about brewing the perfect cup of puerh.

This gift is amazing! Thank you!
