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

Re: Boiled tea

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

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...
