Spurg (spurganon@varishangout.net)'s status on Friday, 16-Feb-2024 11:35:00 JST Spurg Tonight's tea of choice is a Puerh, woody but not too bad and just generally solid for a hot drink. No idea what kind this is beyond the general type tbh, I cant read the label... tasty though.

Rehn (rehnsturm256@shota.house)'s status on Friday, 16-Feb-2024 11:34:59 JST Rehn @SpurgAnon @Tamamo @luithe I tried the earl gray…but I ruined it by adding too much sugar :blobcatnervous2: i need to learn to accept the new flavors I’m unaccustomed to. :WatameNod: It tasted like the go-to “coffee” of teas. Notable was that it refreshed me, in a different way than coffee. I kinda liked that feeling! I’m looking forward to maybe more herby or fruity(?) flavors. :blobcatbongo:
Puerh sounds interesting! It definitely looks woody in images online. I wonder if the fermentation process typically associated with it has probiotic effects :Thinkeyes: I’d like that.

Spurg (spurganon@varishangout.net)'s status on Friday, 16-Feb-2024 12:57:03 JST Spurg @luithe @RehnSturm256 @Tamamo pouch is disgusting, honestly once im done burning up my older stuff Im going leaf only. The minced powdering ruins the taste 100% and sometimes the pouches do too. luithe likes this. -

Try seasoning it next time maybe? A little salt will cut the bitter.luithe likes this. -

You bought Sensha right? Thats Japanese green tea. Remember to use water no hotter than 80° Celsius. If you use boiling water for green tea it will turn bitter. -

I'd invest in an insulated teapot. Well worth the extra money imo. luithe likes this. -

Loose tea is great.
I just throw mine in the teapot tho and filter the whole thing through a little sieve when it's done. -

They for around 30~40 bucks. Be sure to get one made from stainless steel or glass on the inside.
Absolutely not some cheap POS made from plastic. -

Water should be not hotter than 80°C. Or 176.00° in amerimut units. -

Pinea (pinea@varishangout.net)'s status on Sunday, 18-Feb-2024 02:05:59 JST Pinea @Tamamo @RehnSturm256 @SpurgAnon @luithe I recommend a temp controlled water dispenser which heats on demand and can output quantities suitable to your containers (example 2/5dl cup, 1l pot). Easiest method for very frequent consumption. luithe likes this. -
