Probably not the best time for this topic as we're heading into cold weather, but...

do you drink cold brew? What teas do you use for cold brew? How long do you steep in the fridge? Do you start with room temp water or cold water?

And how do you guys find Japanese green teas? What are your favourites?

Second time this happened and my favourite one at that :cccc

Exceptionally good, quadruple roasted mountain oolong.

Have you had any exceptional tea today?

In desperate need of caffeine I whipped out the Shrimp Pu-Erh.

What are you brewing today?

For me it's three kinds of oolongs, two pu-erhs, a white cake, and a couple of greens.

What's yours?

For me it was a blend of oolongs aged between 1989 and 1995. It tasted buttery smooth but with a hint of a very dusty attic.

Kicking the day off with some Sheng Pu-Erh. What's your today's steep?

No.

Unless you're doing it wrong by like.. adding sugar or something.

Time for another cup, I had 2 large heaped teaspoons of Gyokuro this morning, now I'll have some China Jasmine.

Nice relaxing and well narrated amateur documentary on tea

Smells leafy. Almost not bitter at all, sliiightly sour. Overall pretty balanced.I don't have much experience at describing tea but I can tell I like this one :)

I've heard that Raw (sheng) pu-erh, green and sometimes oolong teas are good for hot weather.

Is it true?

Do you have any recommendations or preferences on that?

A bit lighter in taste this time. Still a lovely steep of a good quality oolong.

What's the last oolong your tried? Or are you planning on trying one someday?

When I drink yerba mate I often spill it accidentally because I hit the bombilla. Are there any spill proof options out there?

I left the world of tea years ago and recently was indoctrinated by the amazing taste and health benefits of Oolong.

Hi! Please make yourself at home c:

As titled - what is your preferred brew or steep method?

What do you drink the most? Hot or cold?

I drink a lot of oolong and pu-erh teas brewing gong-fu style and I have yet to try coldbrew c:

This tea is very unique - it's a 2005 Shu Pu-Erh tea, but with a twist! It tastes like fried Shrimp, and don't get me wrong - it's delicious.

Shan Lin Xi bug bitten and charcoal roasted oolong in the cup. What's in yours?

Please don't feel intimidated by me doing gong fu :) It's just a preference, not a must.

I'm starting my day with the High Mountain Xiong Di Zai dancong from Yuunan Sourcing.

What's in your cup today?
