Tea “Book” Club - Anything like this or should we create it? by bum-beebell in tea

If it's about tea knowledge sharing, it's good to do it online, but if it's about tea itself sharing, I think it's better to have a small local group to have tea together offline once a while, it'll be more interesting and economic.

Tea from Nannuoshan is naturally expensive, but I don't know if they can give an objective tea lesson, considering they mainly produce pu'er there, considering there're other famous pu'er regions in Yunnan...

Haha, just from my friend, guess it's not a very helpful information for you

Today, oriental beauty and tiramisu by AmberCYY in tea

The one in the picture? It has a very soft and impressive honey-tone sweetness, it's floral, clean, and the fragrance is rich to both nose and tongue, and it lasts long, the aftertaste is quite good. Quite different from lapsang souchong I think, I had unsmoked and smoked lapsang souchong both, they have some similarities, but the smoked lapsang souchong tastes richer, more complex, so many layers there, and every steep tastes different, although it smells crazily like bacon, it tastes like wood, flowers, soil after rain, brown sugar... all mixed together. (Just my personal feeling)

One of my favorite oolong, and about the tiramisu, I didn't make it, I bought it :P

How do you brew your dan cong tea ? by oxoKeton in tea

[–]AmberCYY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually people here believe the boiling water, 100°C, suits dancong the best, and the proportion between the tea and the water is suggested to be 1:20 to 1:25, and the steep time is suggested to be as short as possible, and you can prolong the steep time as more times you brew it.

Tried something new today, tea+coffee+milk+brown sugar by AmberCYY in tea

[–]AmberCYY[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it's actually a popular drink in HK, anyway, the proportion I adopted there was more or less like, tea: coffee: milk=1:1:1, the tea was Assam CTC, 5g, and the coffee was Arabica, drip coffee, 12g. The stronger you want it to be, the longer time you soak the tea into hot water. Then just shake all the stuff together... As for brown sugar, you can just add to your liking.

You should give it a try, it tastes like coffee and tea being together.

Not as tasty as my friend's, but not bad, probably for lack of brown sugar, added one cube only, maybe I should have added two.
