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?

I recommend wulongs, or tongting tea

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

ah
