Re: Huangshan Maofeng
Very cool observations... Give a little, take a little. No neutral way to brew a tea, even porcelain!

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
tjkdubya Ahhh! Improper drying and trapped humidity in the leaves, right? Just trying to make sense of what someone else is seeing. We have a bunch of HYC's teas still, 2017-2019, but didn't buy any 2020. Should go back and open up some packets. Also I think criticism of HYC teas should be put in c...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
The last bit of hy chen medium roast 2020 winter. This is primarily a roast dominated tea. The oxidized flavors are present but relatively simple compared to Laoshi. When pushed, it can get a bit bitter. I had to brew with shorter and shorter infusion times as the bag went down and the tea opened u...

Daxue Jiadao 大学夹道
Hello from Beijing. Some of you may already know we (my partner Shuyu and I) have been selling privately for the last several months. We are now expanding out to a larger audience. If you're already familiar with some of our teas, you might know us as a yancha specialist. Yancha will remain a focal ...

Re: Tillerman Tea
LeoFox, we're now getting into some pretty subjective territory; what you call deterioration, others might call development. 👍 I prefer a slightly "deteriorated" oo myself, if we're going to call it that ha. It's about balance, and a tea finding its comfortable settling place. Even something like g...

Re: Tong Xin She (TXS) Teahouse
From what we've tasted so far of TXS's yancha, one that stood out as something more in line with our preference is the Huiyuankeng RG. In overall style and material quality and pricing, we feel like that is something we wouldn't mind buying, and sharing with other friends. I think if you compare tha...

Re: Tong Xin She (TXS) Teahouse
To be more on topic, am finishing up drinking TXS Niulankeng RG by Wang Guoxing... Been exchanging teas with Huarong and learning about his style and outlook on yancha. It's quite interesting to compare and contrast this to the processing and roasting Wang Guoxing did for TXS Matouyan RG... ./downl...

Re: Getting lots of bubbles forming on first few infusions of possibly fake Shui Xian?
Some people anecdotally talk about excess scum formation with over-fertilized yancha but this is not something I can confirm. I do see the tendency of excess scum formation more often in cheaper stuff. If the OP is seeing a deviation from their usual experience, assuming they use the same water all ...

Re: Brewing Bai Hao (Oriental Beauty)
Cool thread. Informative reading about different approaches. It's a good reminder to try different approaches once in a while. Sometimes it's hard for me to get out of assessment mode and try lower than usual temperatures to see different sides of teas...
