How did you start? What has been the most important lesson in your own brewing journey?

@GopaldharaTeas Just from looking at the leaves, I want to try it! Sounds very tasty.

@teaformeplease I wonder if there is interest in debunking tea myths? It could be a fun way to bring in lots of topics.

@ramit Tea. My annual tea purchases are well over $1,000, and I'm very happy about it!

@teaformeplease This was such a good read!

After drinking lots of Liu Bao recently, I wrote down my notes from researching this type of tea: https://t.co/h7VPBEDbrF

Now this is science I can get behind!

@YouTubeCreators @teaformeplease Aged Liu Bao is my go to for concentration and comfort.

@teaformeplease I wonder if there is a correlation to an increasing number of books about tea?

1988 Wild Liu Bao from @daxuejiadao

All the classic notes of very old Liu Bao, musty, mushroom, forest floor vibes. What makes this one stand out is the energy. It crept up on me, and I didn’t feel much, just a bit more alert. Nowhere near the smack you… https://t.co/eU4gSv8nGO

2022 Pain & Pleasure from @bitterleafteas

Less bitter than I was expecting to begin with. Not the over the top Laomane vibe, but present none the less.

Settles into an intense session. You'll feel this one all the way to the backs of your cheeks. Very… https://t.co/HbkIn2raWd

Explorer 2 from @daxuejiadao

6 different oolong teas, from two regions, to compare Yongchun with Wuyishan. Processed in similar styles. A great way to compare the impact of terroir.

I'm working my way through, and while fun to compare, the teas themsel… https://t.co/Gm8b2S8Pg6

2022 Yesheng Gushu Hongcha from @white2tea

I almost didn't get a photo of this, as I drank through the sample very quickly. The old growth leaves give this black tea so much longevity and body that it is something worth trying and taking the time to bre… https://t.co/l8GDH33lYv

Mini tong of Bonus tea from @bitterleafteas

Tasty sample, packed in a fun mini tong of coin sized sessions. https://t.co/wqAPAQHZvd

2022 Lightning Bug from @white2tea

Another strong sheng, with silky, rich texture. One I was enjoying enough I had to put it away so I could take a photo, as I almost finished it before getting my camera out. https://t.co/tegpFtFDtD

Spring 2022 Jingmai Gushu Sun-dried Black from @farmer.leaf

Another great black tea from Farmer Leaf. I usually think of them for young sheng, but often add a black tea into the order. This is a well rounded and long lasting black. It almost doesn’t ma… https://t.co/lrmowZlHlz
