2013 Top 10 articles

The year 2013 is coming to a close. Next year will mark my 10 years of tea blogging! Time flies. What remains are some wonderful moments of happiness with sweet aftertastes and shared memories.

Before turning to the future, let's see which were the 10 articles with most views (according to Blogger):

10.The spirit of various tea preparations. Sung dynasty, Qing dynasty and modern teas.
990 views

9. Cutting out the middleman. If tea were a commodity, it would be easier to source, but then its taste would be much more standardized.
992 views

8. Teapots on show, teapots for sale. Fancy teapots displayed in Yingge's Ceramic museum vs simple Yixing teapots.
1028 views

7. 2 Hung Shui Oolongs de Shan Lin Shi. Technically my last article from 2012, it deserves its spot on this list. Roasted Shan Lin Shi can taste so good!

6. 2003-2013, a decade of education and improvement. It's not just about my 2003 wild Yiwu puerh!

4. 1990 old arbor Yiwu raw puerh. Amazing old puerh...

3. Jinxuan Oolong de Zhushan - Printemps 2013. Oolong Tea is too expensive? Check this Jinxuan, one of the most affordable teas in my selection!

2. 3 new tew postcards. I still have plenty of them and will continue to give you a free postcard with each order.

1. 2 Yixing Xianpiao teapots. No surprise, Yixing teapots embody the quest for tea!
2254 views
 I don't have a Facebook page, but Google+ users can like my articles with the g+1 button. I find the top 3 articles of 2013 with the most '+' quite interesting:

1. Japanese tea- Free Style. + 7
2. Everlasting Vintage teas. + 5
3. The secret health benefit of good tea. + 3 (My personal favorite!)

And finally, it's also interesting to note the article with the most comments this year (10). It's none of the above. It's Gaiwan brewing: the same leaves taste differently when 2 people brew them!

Thank you for all your feedback and visits to my tea blog!
