Ok so this is pretty cheesy, but Belle & I thought it would be cool to do a commemorative bing to celebrate the birth of our son. Seeing as he's a dragon baby 龙头, and was named after Miles Davis, we've gone for a jazz inspired theme that's a little east meets west. The colour themes are inspired by old jazz LP album covers, and the dragon's hands are pointing at 9:43am as that's exactly when he was born. We plan to sit on these cakes until Miles turns 21 years old.
What do you guys think? Which colour do you like best? Which puer village do you think best represents the spirit of a bebop dragon?
Haha, great idea!
ReplyDeleteMiles'music fits so well with Pu-erh: diversified, complex, and crazy as hell!
I'd go for a blend of Mahei and Lao Man E
Fantastic suggestion! An unexpected blend based on the instrumentation of "Bitches Brew" might have all the makings of a timeless classic.
Deletethis is really cool! i really like the look of the brown-yellow combination (but a red dragon is great too). no idea whatsoever about the best village but I'm just thinking: wouldn't it be great if you happen to intuitively choose one of the Miles's future favourites? .) good luck!
ReplyDeleteHe drank a lot of different puer whilst still in the womb, so not sure which region he likes best, but it's certainly in his blood and in his DNA!
DeleteI think the Lao Man E would be a great choice! and its not cheesy, it has a unique awesomeness to it! Miles davis was a good choice haha
ReplyDeleteHe'll probably end up being a bespectacled accountant haha. But as parents we still hope that a good name can be a guiding star in life
Deletethese covers are great, really a good graphics, i would use both for the entire spring crop...
ReplyDeletei send my metta for Miles I hope he is already better now, such a small creature dont deserve to suffer so much, city is full of viruses so he could catch it anywhere
Thanks for the metta, little Miles just got out of hospital today. It's been a traumatic week for the family, but good to have him home again.
DeleteI agree with previous speakers. Cool idea and great graphics. Those jackets have a chance to look fresh even after 21 years :) As for the tea so mix Yiwu with Bulang sounds good...maybe to put there small part of fruity (Jingmai?) maocha from last spring could be symbolic- the beginning.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your days.

Ah thanks for this thought Petr, I love it! Now I just need to dig up some Jingmai from last Spring...
