Any Oolong Fans here?
Yep! I love roasted oolongs the most tbh. Something like the Taiwanese roasted Ali Shan Competition Grade or Bug-Bitten Shan Lin Xi.

My very first Yixing teapot 🫖 Still trying to decide what type of tea to brew in it.

Chemically theanine, taurine and caffeine are the same thing.

What teas do you have on hand and drink regularly?
Reply in thread
I'd say older than 3yrs. And sheng as opposed to Shu (ripe). The former is pressed and left to age, and the latter is cooked, speeding up the fermentation process, thus mimicking aging.
The two have completely different characteristics and taste differently. I'd say Shu is more forgiving in terms of steeping, but on the other hand is a lot heavier in taste, with more umami (fishy flavor)

Lao Cha Tou - Literal Shrimp
Reply in thread
This one is not in a cake - this particular pu-erh literally comes from the bottom of the pan and is crystalized. But yes, I do get my pu-erh in cakes most of the time. When it comes to sources - I'm from Poland and it really depends. Local sources, yuunan sourcing, some Czech sources like Rising Tea.

There is a term used mainly for Pu-Erh teas - being tea drunk. That describes literal caffeine high invoked by ingesting a lot of caffeine relatively quickly.
Speaking from experience - the worst that had happened for me was not being able to sleep the night after drinking a lot of strong gong-fu brewed Pu-Erh teas.

I'd say age and smell. If it smells too fishy it's shit. When it comes to sheng (raw) pu-ehrs aim for older ones. Young shengs tend to be very bitter.

Yum! I see that it's shu, how does this one taste? Also, that mini shiboridashi-ish thing is pretty!
