I keep forgetting to refresh my tea stash at work. Scraping by with the dregs of my russian earl grey, missing my masala chai and floral blacks.

It probably hasn't reached the middle, just pry off the outer layer and it's good

Have you seen the prices some people pay for bunch of leaves?

I got a new job that pays better but I'm set to start a PhD at the end of the year which pays worse.
What tea do I buy to feel rich for the next few months?
Some expensive pu-erh sample from quicheteas?
>>22052876
>peach
Many phoenix oolong starting from mi lan xiang.
>citrus
Bai mu dan (grassy-citrusy) or most darjeeling op/gfop (malty-citrusy).

Surely nothing will make you feel more upperclass than that.

Does anyone else have a drinking problem? I keep drinking lots of tea, coffee. It fucks up my sleep, makes me edgy, makes me wanna not go out and interact with ppl. Used to drink lots of alcohol but don't do that anymore.

I'm sure he will release a cake in a week or two. Feel free to grab a sample.

>It fucks up my sleep, makes me edgy
I took a month break. It helped. Also for some reason only sheng fucked me up, black tea was fine.
>makes me wanna not go out and interact with ppl
That's kind of default for me. Surely one day I will be "normal".

Why can't you just keep it upended while you brew? Seems needlessly complicated.

Ripe.
>>22054446
This first time, it was gong fu cups from leaves boiled 10 minutes. 15grams and 900ml was the final amount of tea.
I also filtered with those ultra finish mesh filters a few times.
It tasted very refined and smooth. Everything was well rounded and blended together.
Next time, I will do actual gong fu session steep times but 1-3m each steep.
I can recommend this tea.

yeah Dayi ripes are never bad. and this is a very slightly fancier one than the numbered recipes so I'm sure it's good
very cool wrapper too

This dragon piller doesn’t seem thick body enough. I don’t know. Maybe the gaiwan too small and leaves can’t open. I just did a 7 gram session with
>1m rinse
>2 mins steep
>2 mins steep
>5 mins steep
Still not thick and rich enough for me.
>>
>>22055753
>1m rinse
Why so long? I've never rinsed for more than like 2 seconds. You're pouring so much of what's available to be extracted down the drain
What size is the gaiwan?
>>
>>22055761
Regular size?
I like my ripe thick, syrupy and rich.
>1 mins rinse.
I don’t think that is long enough but more than 1m seems ridiculous.
>>
>>22055761
>2 seconds rinse
Lmao. The leaves from a cake are hard and compressed. A 1m steep barely opens it.
