Katatonia put out a new album. A very good record.

Trying pu-erh tea. Again. :) This time I did some home work and am trying to steep the tea the right way. Will see if I become a pu-erh addict by the time this 19 pieces package is gone. I like the color of the brewed tea the most so far. :)

I saw many very positive reviews of Curt Mangan strings and decided to give their 10-50 set a try. Installed them today and I’m pretty happy so far. Harsh and piercing high end went away, guitar sounds nice and smooth now. Bending string is a challedge, though. :)

I’m not a big fan of a sport band that comes with Apple Watch. I went through cheap options on Amazon but didn’t like the looks of most of them and I wasn’t sure if genuine leather was a real thing in 10 bucks bands. So I got this one from Southern Straps. Looks great.

I've never been a big fan of green teas, always prefered black tea or a mix of black and green teas and rooibos. I usually drink Assam or Darjeeling which are great but lately I’ve been looking for something new and exciting. It suddenly hit me: what about Chinese black teas?! I decided to give it a try. I don't like Pu-Ehr for its fishy taste so I went with regular black teas. 

\n

I’ve tried three teas so far: Fujian Baroque, Keemun Concerto and Yunnan Jig. All three are great, but I like Yunnan Jig the best. 

\n

Will keep trying, that for sure!
