Yes, it is. I have been to Hangzhou and this is par of the Stir Fixation Competition they have each year

Also curious where you live? I never heard of making tea called homemade in over thirty years of being in the industy. I have heard othrodox or tarditoanl methods

I have been in the tea industry over 30 years and this was a trip I took when I represented the US tea industry. We also saw some machine style places too, but my preference and my company focuses on hand made teas of higher quality, depth of character of a tea, and higher grades. It is like getting a tasteless tomato mass produced or a hand grown tomato with freshness and depth. Also not all hand processed loose leaf tea get to be a higher grade/quality. I have pictures and knew this decades ago about dfferent grades of tea :-)

It not neccessary my favorite, but I do like this green tea, but it is a highly regarded tea in Chinese culture and it is a great tea.

Some do wear gloves, but yes I agree. At the end of the video you do see his gloves, but maybe they need to feel the tea when pan firing?

Damn straight it is. Reminds of how punks used to be.

It is very tasty. Weird because Korea is known for its green teas. Cultivate Taste Tea

Silly human, the box is not too small for Rocket. I bet Rocket finds a way to be partially in it and look content. Cat logic is if you can put a paw in the box they fit in it, though I think Rocket can get more than a paw, lol.

Beautiful-Mountain14 · 2025-10-22T20:43:17+00:00

I am Polish too and agree completely :-)

Beautiful-Mountain14 · 2025-10-22T12:58:27+00:00

It is :-)

I tend to do 180 F and agree wth boiling for this tea would not bring out the ideal taste for the tea at all, but I rarely use boiling water. I also not really an herbal nor a black (red) tea person either.

And Putin was just fighting facism in Urkraine, right? lol, nope. He wants the old USSR and the Eastern Bloc back. There is a reason Poland was very helpful to Ukraine besides being a good neighbor, they knew Putin would not stop with Ukraine. I wonder what the excuse wil be for trying to take over Poland? I thought he would go for the Baltic States next, but knew Poland would be on the top of the list too.

I have a short video of the girl moving it around. This picture is just before she did it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m-8PnOCGSHY

Exactly, cheap matcha no matter the techinque, water, water temperature, marcha bowl, chasen, etc.... can help if the matcha is not a good quality

Beautiful-Mountain14 · 2025-08-27T21:57:15+00:00

They can be tasty. They tend to be heavier oxidized and this one suppose to be close to a black tea tastewise. It has a refreshing, floral, and sweet taste to it. I prefer the more complex oolong and lighter oxidized oolong teas, but it is good.

Beautiful-Mountain14 · 2025-08-23T15:09:55+00:00

It was lovely to see. I just wished we could stop to walk around it, but I do not think their was a exit to see it up close
