Re: Ripe Puh Erh nugs aging
welcome, GushuDino69 . please introduce yourself :mrgreen: it depends a bit on how long you want to age, but imo tea ages better (or at least faster) broken up anyways. maocha (non-compressed tea) also ages faster. a main downside is it takes up more storage space. there are no special precautions t...

Re: FS: Wistaria's Hong Yin & Lan Yin
the way it works is new users need to have their first few posts manually approved just as an anti-spam thing. although i don't know if it's common to spam via PM, sending (but not receiving) PMs is also disabled. new users' names are displayed in purple, and New user appears below. once you make a ...

Re: Tea Seed/Seedling Vendor Topic
interesting Finding a store that sells different varietals is exponentially harder. I'll keep on looking.. i think the reason you're not seeing those is most cultivars are not stable (heirlooms). they're clonally propagated. the reason for this is tea plants are slow growing compared to a tomato or ...

Re: Need storage ideas for 10lb of tea
welcome, lam ! please say hello :mrgreen: 10lb of tea is a lot. i hope you like it ;) fwiw, depending on the kind of tea, i would consider buying in smaller quantity going forward as many teas don't stay at their best forever. I bought 16oz glass jars thinking these would each hold a 1lb bag's worth...
