We were served a sample of Oolong, Jasmine and lychee teas by our hostess, who explained everything. She warmed the pot and cups and the tea tasted really fresh. Sophia drank all the teas, as did all the kids.

About Me
- Ann BF
- Happily married to Michael, a philosophy professor at Canisius College on a Fulbright to teach American philosophy at Xiamen University. We have three children -- Thomas (bio), Helen (adopted from China) and Sophia (adopted domestically). I am a professional social worker ready for a year of fun at "home" in China!
