Goodbye 2008!

Like last year, here are 12 pictures to look back on the last 12 wonderful tea months. 2008 was the year of Cha Xi and new friendships. A big 'Thank you' to all of you who are sharing my tea experiences.

Merci pour vos visites et soutiens ces 12 derniers mois. Voici quelques photos pour dire adieu à 2008, l'année des Cha Xi et de nouvelles amitiés. (2009 s'annonce déjà passionnante...)
