Possible Hydration System candidates (ZIPPER type)

Recently thought of buying a hydration system.

These are the few possible candidates:
1) Hydrapak Reversible Reservoir II
Read some review, and it seems the reservoir has some plastic taste.
Design of the pack seems quite ok. Zipper abit small.

2) Source-Vagabond Widepack
Looks ok. From picture, it seem there is extra flab after zipping up the pack.

3) Platypus Big Zip SL
Looks good. Has a handle on top. The company seems to design lots of camping and mountain climbing equipments.


Ok.
Have a nice day.

Wow... someone did it using Canon 5D camera

mini OSK green tea vs Ta-Fu green tea

Wow... Interesting, as recommended by Qinghui, the OSK Green Tea is indeed good.

With the OSK tea bag, a cup of tea made to similar concentration as the Ta-Fu Green Tea, the OSK tea has a lighter taste and not as bitter as Ta-Fu. In terms of quality, i think OSK has a high quality. Ta-Fu green tea seems like of older type of tea leaves, easily leads to a darker and very very slightly more bitter taste.

My verdict: OSK green tea is good. (if you want to enjoy a good cup of tea to relax.) . Ta-Fu green tea is great for after meal.

Thanks
Have a nice day.

Wow... LEGO battleship
