Re: Anyone interested in a cup of Smoketree tea?
This is a Czech herbal medicine, though I'm not sure if you're meant to drink it regularly, seems like it would be pretty astringent. Ingredients: Cornflower (Continus coggygria). Action: Rujevina plant is used externally for hair loss, sweating of the feet. It is good for vaginal washing, bath, gar...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
Is gyokuro generally the only tea that would taste better brewed without the lid?

Re: Kintsugi artists? students?
How much did you pay for your pot? I personally would not bother kintsugi for the average teapot, it takes a long time.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hi, I've looked around the forum from time to time, but I finally decided to stop lurking and make an account How long have you been drinking tea? I've enjoyed tea most of my life, but I only started moving from bottled tea and tea bags to find teas I really liked around 2 years ago. What kind of t...

Re: What Herbal Are You Drinking
I'm drinking soba cha from Kettl co. Soba cha is not like a traditional herbal tea -- buckwheat is actually a fruit seed, not a grain. I think it has almost no tannin content which also makes it different from some herbal teas. Either way it does not appear to cause me any negative issues. For this ...

Re: Korean tea vendors
They do have quite a few different Korean teas. Looks very interesting. Always glad to see another source for Teas that I enjoy so much. The owner of the shop is also the owner of what used to be called "29B Teashop" in NYC, which rebranded to this during the pandemic though they still have a physi...

A few years ago I brought some Woojeon from the above vendor to a tea party at Victoria's house, everyone seemed to really like the quality.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
I have never heard of David Hoffman before today. I googled his name and saw that he has an online tea store. The price of his 1980 raw Tong Qing Hao is $400 for 400gm. This is really a good price for 1980 tea. Is he legit or is he one of the many sellers online selling fake aged teas? You can alwa...

He still lives on the same property though the town is trying to repossess it. My friend visited him a few weeks ago.
I’m not sure if the puer cave is on the same property. He’s very secretive about it and even his assistant that worked w him for 15 years has never seen it.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Had my first tea session in 2 years, ranked from best to worst. The best was certainly David Lee Hoffman’s 1980’s Tong Qing Hao. Sweet and easy to drink and good energy.
We both agreed it would have been a better tea session if we hadn’t drunk the last one at all.
