Thank you, Xuan! I have several bulbs getting ready to flower very soon, so I will post photos when they open... A wedding! How wonderful! You have gained a Son-In-Law! Congratulations! I would love to see pictures! Thank you so much for helping us to obtain something wonderful from your country, the tea cup diffusers! I know they will all get good use here! I can think of a lot of plants that would look really cute in them, and benefit from the type of containers they are! I'm excited to get a couple of them... or even one! I am mailing out your package today... it should take 2 or 3 days to reach California... and then it's on its way to you, with a little help from your daughter! Please thank her for us... without her help, this would all be a lot slower, and we couldn't be sure if the packages would be safe! As we discussed, I'll have another package for you in March... just let me know what dates to ship it by... and I'll make sure it's there for your daughter to hand carry back to you! Enjoy your package when you get it... it's sort of a late Christmas gift! :-)

I have tried around thirty different types of green teas. Some of them are inexpensive, and others cost more than $100.00 per pound. I really enjoy Uncle Lee's green tea in bulk. It has an excellent taste and is inexpensive. Buy a yixing teapot to brew the best tea in loose form. Most tea in bag form is not very good. The best way to brew is to use three times as much tea as needed for cup. (ancient Chinese secret?) You will get three seperate infusions. Infuse the tea for 45 seconds to one minute in water that is below boiling temperature. Also, Uptontea.com has a huge selection of every kind of tea imaginable.

Yikes! I am having browser probs today, big time! No, using an anchor means to use another scent (EO) to help keep the fleeting EO around longer. Patchouli and Litsea cubeba are anchors I have used with success, but also keep in mind that lavender used at 1oz. per pound of oils will have good scent for up to 1 year without an anchor. ; make soap to last you for a year at a time of usage (and friends) and the scent should not be a problem. :). Many soapers when starting out don't use nor know about anchors, I am sort of sorry that I have mentioned it in here, but now you are aware. Hope I didn't confuse you the situation much:( This is not needed for FOs, for FOs should be designed to having staying power incorporated. A FO without staying power has not been designed well and you should look elsewhere.

I've only used them to make jelly. Dehydrating fruit is dealt with over on the Harvest Forum if you need any tips on that aspect.
