Bitterleaf's Greatest Hits Shou
ISO any cakes or tongs of Bitterleaf's Greatest Hits Shou. Long story short, this is my favorite and most comforting shou, and I intended to buy it in bulk in the recent repressing, but waited too long and it sold out. It's been an insane year in which my wife nearly died from heart failure, I had a...

Re: FS: Wistaria's Hong Yin & Lan Yin
Hong Yin & Lan Yin are gone. There's still Wangong left and I'm happy to do a smaller portion of 25g for $30 a pop. Any of the Wangong left? If so, could you please DM me?

Re: Introduce Yourself

I'll provide a post on sources in a tea forum (where should I post on yellows?), and here's a poem I wrote inspired by Snow Dragon, a form of men...

Re: Boiled tea
I find that shous and aged whites (bai mu dan, gong mei, shou mei) generally tolerate boiling well. You can get some gaiwan brews out of them first, if you like, and probably should if they're pricy teas, but it isn't necessary. Other teas can be finicky about the boil in my experience, but worth pl...

Re: Freezing during shipping? Is it bad
Mine's regularly at below-freezing temps for days before I snag it and bring it indoors. Seems to tolerate and brew up well without any issues, so far.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hi folks, new to Teaforum, but been pretty active on Reddit and CommuniTea lately. I've been drinking tea seriously for about 11 years now, but a decade of that was devoted entirely to yellow teas. The last year has been a shitshow healthwise and I've basically been living a country music song: cont...
