Year of the Horse

The Year of the Horse is a good year, as the horse kicks out the Year of the Snake, with all its tragedies, conflicts, and complications.  This Friday, 31 January, the Year of the Horse begins.

In addition to champagne and other assorted beverages, a good portion of tea will be consumed.  Athough we prepare ours using a Japanese metal tea pot, there is nothing like a good cup of tea from a well-seasoned pot on a windy day in winter.
