Do they usually have one?
I'm getting my budget ready..

mod edit: this topic was initially asking about HY Chen, Lazy Cat Tea, and Tea Habitat specifically

Hi I can assure you lazy cat tea will have no sales : )

Hey octopus, out of your teas, which ones would you recommend for someone ho has never had yancha before and wants to get a feel for what it should taste like? Edit: ooh just realized you have a tasting boxes! Now I gotta pick... hi to anyone i would recommend this tea to start out. It's specifical...

A good way to taste and test the essence of any Yancha, is to keep the first rinse aside and drink it in the end. Like cupping a tea, this will show all the shortcomings of the tea. If it is a good tea it will be the best cup of the session! Good thing it comes last ;) good practice 👍 about shortco...

Hi i don't drink these teas but i can report the advice of my friend who really only drinks green baozhong. In his experience tea does change a lot after few weeks of opening the bag and is not as good His solution and advice once opened the bag is to use those hard plastic tupperware like boxes th...

I see Old Ways Tea has several RouGui selections. Have you tried any other of their RouGui selections? Don’t know company, ordered much from them? I’ve been wondering what time of year it is harvested and how long it is aged before selling. Several reputable RouGui vendors have very short supplies ...

I never measure anything, but it seems you might not use enough leaf. Usually with Yancha and Dancong I stuff a 60-90ml pot completely with leaves. Maybe Yancha a tiny tad less as the leaves are smaller and closer together unlike Dancong. I think you’re right. Will give that a try. What is a reason...

LCSX and aged yancha always boiling

right answer brother.

in boil we trust.

actually the other day I offered some yancha to a japanese guy who never had yancha and he really liked it because he said it reminded him of hojicha. it isn't such a crazy thing to associate Now I’m really curious so will get some high quality hojicha (any recommendations from members?). Which yan...

what looked like an oil slick on the surface of the liquor. It was not very impressed by it either. Any idea what causes foam and an oil slick?

could it be mineral residue from brewing with hard water?

what teas accessible to the west are above average quality? Easy for folks to say what’s not good in the west yes, sounds like common but superficial remarks. I can only imagine anyone saying that has either 1) never lived in PRC or other and therefore has no idea what "average quality" is for some...

there are many common misconception in the world of yancha by some who maybe never went to wuyishan and probably never made tea. a very big misconception is confusing between roasting and oxidation, oxidation being arguably the first and most important step of yancha making but can rarely see some t...

yeah is fun in a way but after a few times is a bit time investment and although there is ok tea for sure is pretty hard to find something a bit special. I guess all tea markets in china are the same on different scale even if shanghai ones are kind of small. dusty "Bingdao" "xihu longjing" "dahong...
