Sounds good

I'm currently on something called white rose

It's pretty comfy for learning

JohnFrum-Senpai wants to tell us not to commit suicide by ChinkTea OD

we know

sighhh

?

Thst was a joke, normal tea is probably fine herbal shit is what I'd be worried about.

The thing of Gschwendner is that they only have kinds of tea that they can obtain in big masses since they want to keep their offer consistant all over Germany

you won't find something obscure there

there is this tea + coffee field in Taiwan that has a very unique oolong but they don't export it. We have a box full of it.

Basically there's some kind of worm that feeds on the tea leaves and it's saliva is sweet. This gives the tea a very special, slightly sweet flavour

According to them, this kind of worm is exclusive to Taiwan

http://www.gruentee-direkt.de i bought some stuff from here to try. the side looks like early 00s but the tea is nice

I know the owner of https://www.nannuoshan.org/ - if I want something "special", I tend to ask him first because that company is in contact with many distributors and even farmers

the shop is in Berlin

Also @JHWH Gschwendner has 3 oolongs, did you try all of them?

A german niche shop with a functioning website, I'm sold.

@porco you mean on the website? I think they have different ones in the stores

i never tried the new zealand one, but its not affordable for me anyway, so there is nothing to gain for me

and i am ball fascist. my oolong has to be balls and not leaves

i m just trying out what tastes the best for me personally. and i can say I am more the green tea / unroasted kind of tea person. Although I like the black tea / roasted variants too, I generally prefer a more vegetale/plant-y flavour

@JHWH I never went to the website

Yes I agree, but I don't like the too bitter green teas

I like the light ones. Longjing style

The only time I didnt like tea was when I bought cheap shit pu er from the local chink store

i just brewed long jing ☺

Puerh is a meme that was introduced to China to sell overpriced fermented tea to stupid westerners

well, tbh. i only tried oolong and pu er because of dragonball in the first place

so it kinda worked

My Chinese teacher told us stories about how her western exchange student friends let her try puerh because they thought it's fancy and wanted to impress her

and how she pretended to like it because she didn't want to appear to have bad taste

But she's sure that noone liked it in that round and everyone was saying how good it is, just to appear fancy

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

maybe its like wine or coffee, an acquired taste

but you gotta acquire for a long time

I really don't like puerh

maybe you're right

Oh that stuff
