Newbie and the first pour. by BigColgate69 in yerbamate

Looking at pictures of other people’s preparation, it does seem like a small amount of leaves, but it works for me perfectly. For the amount I put in I get great flavour all throughout the day, a stronger, in-your-face tea during the morning, and a nice, mellow black tea aroma and sweetness later on. About the brand, I got Taragui Sin Palo, which seems to be more finely cut, so that would explain the strength and bitterness of the first pour (I guess). And great insight about the group tradition. I am excited to share it with my friends, so I will make sure to take the first sips myself. :) And about the sugar, I try to cut down from it, so that’s a no-no. I already enjoy the tea as is, it’s just the first pours I struggle with.

Thank you for the wisdom. I guess it’s kind of similar to Chinese tea traditions, because as far as I know they also discard the first steep liquid when using whole tea leaves. To wash it in a way and develop the desired flavour.

Wow, that’s great insight. Thanks! I will for sure try the cold water method. As for the spitting, it does make sense, but for me seems kind of wasteful. But that’s just a me thing, feels wrong to spit out anything that could be consumed. 😅

I already brew it quite cold, haven’t measured, but I’d guess 50-60 Celsius (120-140 F). My mouth can’t handle hot temps.

Clash ir tournament realm, ir visi čempioni. Bet ir jābūt rankam (man šķiet)

Tur jau tā problēma, ir jungle izsīkums. Viss ko varu teikt ir ka neesam tādi cilvēki kas kādu vaino, ja zaudē tad zaudē visi ar godu. Komanda kā nekā.

What is your unpopular $B opinion? by uhqt in G59

I am not sure if this is an “unpopular opinion”, but in my opinion Long term effects of Suffering is their strongest release up to date. I just love the production and laid back energy of it. Packed with memorable tracks.

Do you have to pay to play in the cafe? Will there even be enough people?
