is it chink tea? because i'm looking to buy proper tea but it's pricy, want to tast actual different teas first
Puer is chink tea
yeah i know
but as in, aliexpress
I bought it from Yunnan Sourcing
If you're looking to try chink tea for the first time, I recommennd jin xuan from eco cha
hard to go wrong with that
also some tie guan yin from teavivre or yunnan sourcing
YS and teavivre have samples if you want to try
noted
eco cha has samples as well
are all three paid shipping?
teavivre has free shipping above $30
yeah just noticed
echocha has $5 off if you use SIGNUP coupon
40$
yeah I saw that, bringing it down to 1$ shipping
YS is paid shipping, which is why I'll do a massive haul all at once next time
Ill buy sample sized from eco cha then
I haven't discovered the differences in tea yet, which ones do you recommend from eco-cha?
a part from Jin Xuan
wtf is dingdong
xD
Jin Xuan from Eco Cha tastes like popcorn and butter, smells like popcorn
Dong Ding is nice, a vegetal tasting Jin Xuan is how I'd describe it
hmm, i see it on the bestsellers as well
taiwan really does have a better tea industry
I can't afford anything else from Eco Cha so that's all I can tell you
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
absolutely despicable people otherwise
but there are plenty of reviews on steepster
mhm thanks
What's the best way to brew after gongfu
and how much can you brew with 20g
the other main way is "western" brewing, which is really just steeping it in water for about 3 mins. 5g/350ml/3 mins are typical paramters.
but I prefer gongfu much more anyway
7g/130ml/25 seconds, adding 5 seconds each steep for oolong
or 15 seconds, add 5 secs each steep for puer
what's a steep
immersion
