One small step...

Well, I've managed to place one of the tea cards along the sidebar (under my profile). But have not as yet discovered how to insert it in the main body of the post. Will keep trying...

Tea Cards Complete!

Over the last few months I have been sporadically working on Tea Cards. They were initally intended to have very few words on each card to be used for a tea game. But as I went along I decided to make them more comprehensive (as much as cards can be at any rate). Thus the result is 33 cards, made up of three cards per variety and 3 cards on tea grading. Each card provides the following information:

1. Type of Tea Variety
2. Name of Tea (with its meaning in English)
3. Country of Origin
4. General Information - including historical and/or interesting facts
5. Appearance - of both the leaf and the infusion
6. Aroma
7. Taste
8. Brewing Instructions
9. Information on Tea Type
10. Card Number

The tea varieties represented are:

1. Ceylon Teas
2. Chinese White Teas
3. Chinese Yellow Teas
4. Chinese Green Teas
5. Chinese Oolong Teas
6. Chinese Black Teas
7. Chinese Pu-erh Teas
8. Indian Teas
9. Japanese Teas
10. Taiwanese Teas

And the last three cards have information on tea grading.

I would still like to create a game around these cards - my next project. But for the moment I am happy with the outcome. I aim to post these cards on the blog. Will have to figure out how to do this first, however.

Happy Gongfucha!
