funny enough i was actually going to write a synopsis of each chapter of the book in a week or two when i have time. busy with 2019 annual work currently(love those 60hr+ work weeks) that don't have time to cliffnote.

Drinking this Bai Ye Dan Cong black tea from YS. It is probably one of the most intense black teas i've ever had(maybe except Yan Xun Xiao Zhong). Super rich clover honey flavor. crazy smell on it as well. nice weight to the tea without being thick. has nice amount of astringency. I dunno if I like ...

Question. If you order 7 cakes I assume it will come with the original tong packaging?

See if Ecocha or Teavivre as well might have some sample/gift packs?

I'm going to have to agree with Japanese greens(primarily sencha/gyokuro) for reasons others mentioned.

I picked up some L theanine and GABA pills one day when I was getting back on coffee since it can make slightly jittery/anxious. I find it does help in that scenario.

I do sometimes find tea giving me acid reflux specifically from young sheng. It generally happens in the afternoon if i drink young sheng soon after i eat. I find that most of my black tea tends to be slightly more tannic and brisk so that generally doesn't help either. Darker oolongs seem to be bet...

When are you going to start your own quiz to archetype us?

I think that would probably be a bit intrusive... haha

One can guess a lot of it by reading between the lines of the postings.

I meant one of those quiz things that you take and it tells you which you are.

bump.

anyone here attending?

Yeah, you are buying right?

Relevant post https://www.teaforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=852. I almost bought this last year on a whim but the reviews on the website seem very odd for any puerh I've had. Taste is of course somewhat personal opinion, but I'm wondering if this is actually the terroir or processing(over processed?...
