Enjoy our Oolong Outpost to the US Capital !

What a great city to visit! A short trip to Washington DC before we are heading to 2019World Tea Expo.

We had two good events and gatherings! Both were extremely successful and interesting with significant historical meanings! Made new friends, met old friends!!

One tea event at the historical Twin Oaks Estate on 5/29  ( https://jttea.blogspot.com/2019/05/taiwan-oolong-historical-twain-oaks.html ), and another tea presentation at Taiwan Culture Center on 5/31 ( https://jttea.blogspot.com/2019/05/how-to-reach-out-over-cup-of-tea-taiwan.html ).

Josephine and I have planned to give ourselves some free time, so we can drive up to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and also take a good walk around Washington National Cathedral - A Spiritual Home for the Nation.

We are grateful to two good couples, Vivian and Brian, FenYing and Jimmy,  offer their beautiful houses for our stay in DC.

 

 

 

 

Taiwan Oolong Outpost to Mexico (5/5/2019)

5.5.2019 Sunday
Josephine and I crossed the border in early morning to visit our #TOST2018 friend, Mr. Salvador Sosa and his wife, Graciela at their Sinensis Mx in Tijuana.

Very well planned and good audiences they have invited for two sessions.  Among the participants, there are Culinary school director, chefs, coffee baristas, wine sommeliers, coffee roasters, professors, doctors... We happily accomplished our Taiwan Oolong presentations in Mexico.  Although I cannot speak Spanish, but I believe that job will be carried on by Mr. Sosa and his team.

This is merely a small step for us, but it could be a huge move for Taiwan Oolong to get explored to another wonderful World. Crossing the border, crossing the Language and Culture barrier.

As we believe:
“Taiwan Oolong be flavorful, admirers shall follow.
7 Beauties are divine, the World shall happily incline.”

Our job is to spread the good Sense, Oolong-Sense.
We expect to see many Smiling faces who savor Taiwan Oolong.
