I used many years ago to prepare black tea and put in my bottle during cycling, Which typer of tea have more caffeine like oxydate, fermentate tea, green tea ecc ecc?

Personally, I would opt for Fujian Silver Needle. High in nutrients, high in caffeine.

All this talk of Dancong had me craving some of it’s nectar. So, I dipped into the stash and pulled out some 2020 “White Rose Kisses”. Liquid gold🥇 Floral as the name suggests, but certainly not feeble. Refined and delicate on the palate with a powerful electric energy. No astringency and no bittern...

Coincidentally, having Dancong myself… 30ml Shantou lion pot.

Great choice, and nice pairing! Dancong is strong, yet elegant, like a lion.

Can anyone here recommend oolongs (ideally dancong but not necessarily) that are similar to Wuyi Origin's Old Bush Mi Lan Xiang from Li Zhai Ping village? I'm not a fan of greener oolongs and it seems to be increasingly more difficult to find ones that are not too green in this style. I liked the 2...

I'm blown away by the da chi gan red from DaxueJiaDao. https://www.instagram.com/p/CY98aT4uzqD/?utm_medium=copy_link Wow, lovely synopsis. I’m sold!! Actually had a Hongcha from DXJD this morning. Specifically the 2020 Lincang Gushu Danzhu. If you haven’t had it, and it’s still available, I highly ...

@tjkdubya has the best Gaiwans. Once you go Dehua, you don’t go back.

DailyTX: thanks; actually it is zhu ni, I believe. Perhaps a tiny bit darker in tone than 'usual', though it could just be the cloudy day, It's drinking some yancha at the moment, so it's got a glow on. Andrew ./download/file.php?id=10874 Whooweee!! Gotta love that Zhuni glow! Once you get a taste,...

TeaTotaling: I'm glad to hear that we've had similar experiences when tea and drink are combined... I was wondering, though, which raw 2008 liu bao you were referring to; perhaps I missed the reference. Hopefully I'm not misreading the reference here, but I believe @TeaTotaling is referring to our ...

Playing with my sample of the 60s laochapo liu bao from Daxue Jiadao today. As I say, wet days require old tea. I have no idea why anyone would have wanted to press old liu bao into bricks, but apparently that is what happened to this one more than a decade ago. At least it hasn't been pressed very...

BSX 2007 Qianliangcha (or “Pagoda” as per GTH’s rebranding) Say what you will about the eccentricities of GTH, they have done a big service though their magazine, the translated articles in particular. Their 2019 issue on QLC is probably the best publication about these teas available in English. I...

Which teapot did you get? I got the 65ml Jian Hu. Apparently there have been some design adjustments made in the meantime. On the current offerings the „master craftsman with 30 years experience in the industry“ has made some crucial adjustments to the knob, which now sits higher and to the spout, ...

Drinking Dinggu Dafang Zhupu from DaXue JiaDao described in the previous post again, but using the reduction mumyoi clay. It is a much more intense session: the flavors are concentrated and the aroma is more powerful. Astringency also increased. ./download/file.php?id=9653 I have “only” had their Y...

TeaTotaling How do they compare to the stuff from DJ don mei?? I have only ordered one round of tea from DJ Donny, back when I was new on the scene. There was 30g’s of Dancong in that order, his selected Da Wu Ye from Fengxi Village. That tea was unmistakably juicy and tropical on the palate. Bette...

her selections are addicting especially the mi lan Xiang. Agreed! I have had more time with Imen’s Dancongs, and ended up placing a second order shortly following my first. My initial skepticism was based on experience with average quality DC. I’m am finding higher quality to be much more refined a...
