nice, do you buy loose leaf or bag?

loose leaf

with puer like the cakes I posted just now, you have to break it apart

but in the end, its loose leaf

UV coating is legit, right?

sometimes you can get chinked on the size of lens on chinese sunglasses so be careful for that

yea UV is legit

not bad <:thonk:288060975775612929>

I can't find the golden needle tea

most sunglasses, even chink ones, got uv coating

pretty much my daily drinker right now

Dog bless

before my other puer cakes get here

do you store it in stainless steal container or what it comes in?

I just store it in the wrapper

air is good for puer

just store it away from light

never been too much of a tea guy myself, how is it? I've mostly just stuck with plain old earl grey

What should I buy with the tea? Should I buy myself one of those tea pots?

get one of these glass teapots or ceramic gaiwans they sell, I'd say

how long does 1 cake last?

I use 7g each time for 130ml, so 100 / 7 so about 14 days

that's a 100g cake on ys

nice

for brewing, I start out with 15 seconds for the first infusion, adding 5 seconds each infusion

?

what do you mean?

I'm no tea expert

gongfu brewing method

instead of just infusing it in water for a couple of minutes, in gongfu, you use more tea leaves than you usually would but you infuse it for a short amount of time

wow that seems like a lot of work tbh

have you noticed a difference between the taste of regular infusion vs gongfu ?
