Kirby Posted March 23, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2019 I would have been wary of opening this thread if anyone other than Petite had started it. Who knew that was a tea? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted March 24, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2019 I was reading an article at NPR's Tuesday Tea, and the guy was raving about Pu erh. So I go to Teavivre, and they have a deal going, 5 samples for free, you only need pay for shipping. So I order 5 different Pu erh. Next to my computer table is a bookcase, on top of the bookcase is a box of all the sample tea I ordered but never tried. So I look in the box, and right on top is a Pu erh. Let me tell you, not everyone could do that, it's a gift. And yes, it's one of the ones in the order. Read about autumn Darjeeling in another article, and ordered a little from Stash.

I settled on Pu erh from McNulty's until I win the lottery. Their loose pu erh is really nice, and I prefer it when it is cold or stormy out. I wish I had some, but that can wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted March 24, 2019 Share #10 Posted March 24, 2019 If you took some leaves in the Fall and put them in a smoker for a little while, and then brewed that into a tea... that's what mine tastes like to me. I brewed mine for 4 minutes, I think I will cut back on time and quantity next time. I don't like smoky tea, so it's not a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoky tea sucks ass, I hate that lapsang souchongy turdpunch that some people are into. That is like massively overhopped beer that is also massively overbarleyed and mixed with steer urine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had beer in Europe from Italy to Denmark, most were lightly hopped, a couple were moderate hopped. That's one of a thousand reasons to go there, the beer there tastes different from the stuff they sell here. One of my favorite characters in The Expanse is Chrisjun Avarasala, a small Indian woman who is one of the most powerful people on Earth. She drinks lapsang souchong, not because she likes it, but because her husband does. I tried it, out of curiosity, and it is so not my cup of tea..

I have a very strong positive association with the smells of camping. I wish it didn't taste like ass, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
