Bi Luo chun is nice because the leaves will immedietly sink to the bottom of the glass which makes for easy drinking.

Simplicity and minimalism doesn't just mean lack of stuff, its more about lack of things that have no use. I am hesistant to merely drop leaves in a bowl, which I think sacrafices flavor, for the sake of simplicity. Gaiwans and tea pots have uses and functions that mere bowl brewing cant match. To u...

I am curious about what specific pesticides are used (by brand or chemical). I have smelled beta-cyfluthrin (or its carrier agent) on some teas from Taiwan. It’s a nice sweet smell— like floral five spice— so I can see how it goes with teas but for someone like me who used to apply it, it’s an unmi...

thanks for sharing the conversation. it ended just when it was getting good though!

i wanted to hear about which pests her uncle sprays for

I know! but the convesation had already stopped once I had restarted it. I didnt want to do it twice

A few months ago I asked for questions about pesticides for a convesation I was going to have with my friend who was open about her family's pesticide use. Here is our conversation. There were some translation issues and it ended a little early because I didnt want to bother her, but I think there a...

My friend family makes mao feng and she is open about the fact they use pesticides. Right now I am having a conversation about pesticides with her, are there any questions you guys would like me to ask her about pesticide use? Im using this as a chance to better understand why and how pesticides are...

If you are still looking for this I may be able to help you. A make just sent me a sample of heavy roasted TGY. Really great strong chocolate note, not my usual cup of tea but I couldnt help but enjoy it.

I think my tea drinking is greatly influenced by my general simplicity. In other parts of my life I don't crave fancy things. My phone is always the cheapest, I wear the same shoes till they break, and my apartment has almost zero decorations. I like the things I own to have a purpose. I do wear sui...

In a few days I will head down to Fuding to stock up on white tea and talk to some makers. Do you guys have any questions you want me to investigate for you? One of the things I will look into is the cut off between Bai Mu dan and Gong Mei, Gong Mei and Shoi Mei. Any other questions you guys have ab...

I found this article helpful: https://www.teaguardian.com/dialogues/topic/medicinal-properties-in-aged-white-tea/ If I understand correctly, "aged" white was a niche Hong Kong thing that became popular after it got sucked up into the pu'er boom of the 2000s. Back then it was common for white tea ma...

With regards to white tea age, there's a saying: 1 year, is good. 3 years, is a treasure. 7 years, it's medicine." Sorry to be that guy but just to add a bit of accuracy to the saying it is 一年是茶，三年是藥，七年為寶 or some similar rendition. Basically, just a bit swapped with yours - the saying is at 1 year ...

Dont do Shang, i was disapointed by them. I am going to Fu Ding in a few weeks, if you send me some money I can pick you up some stuff. Yes I was disappointed by Shang too. If the silver needle is of similar quality to the one you sent Roy L & me a few years ago then yes I want to get some. Better ...
