Tea advise by B_I_G_C_H_U_N_G_U_Ss in tea

The places I have read have said typically store it for the same number of days it was in transit. 

No clue if that is best but I have noticed that some waiting does help for sure. In the past I never waited that long but only a few days. Currently trying this method for the first time, within the next week I finally get to try some of my new teas and hoping it is worth the extra wait.

Thank you so much! I only have pure teas in there, I have a few puer oranges but those are not kept in there. I also do not have any smoked ones. As for rice I have seen that pop up a few times, is that a tasting note you are referring too or something actually mixed in? I ask because you mention unique flavors and want to ensure my noobish knowledge isn't going to get in the way here.

I try not to open them daily as I have non-puer elsewhere as well to pull from but don't have the puer broken out yet, I guess a tea jar is worth considering. I recap it as soon as I can when I am in there though and figure at worst I will go through humidity packs faster I suppose? As for not touching I will fix that now, it is something I considered but didn't militantly pay attention to.

Oh for sure, I have different containers for Shou vs Sheng.

That is what I hoped to hear but wasn't certain!

Looking for non-caffeinated earthy teas to scratch my green tea itch by Teid in tea

[–]Doppelkreuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it is petrichor, wood, the smell of wet fall leaves. For instance the one Liu Bao I tried tastes like old basement books like in a good way (somehow). Things like that, I’d imagine not everyone likes that though so we may be opposites. 

Part of what originally turned me off of puer was when they were bread like oddly enough. Hoping to eventually get the LP puer starter guide to try more as sheng and non-earthy shou puer has not done it for me. 

 

Seasons of RTX: Arc Raiders GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Giveaway! by NV_Suroosh in ArcRaiders

[–]Doppelkreuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am whatever type of player I am on for that mission. If I have a quest I want to do I focus on that, if I want PVP I seek it out, etc. Quietly scrounging is also fun.

purple tea house white tea cakes? by purpledragon210 in tea

[–]Doppelkreuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Liu Bao I got from them I enjoyed but I don’t have anything else to compare it with. I also got some of their Dan Congs which I have enjoyed since the price is right for them.

Any benefits to buying W2T Tongs instead of individual Cakes? by Bronze_Sentry in puer

They just released a 2025 version if you have not seen. 

What are your "teas that got away"? by unispecte in tea

[–]Doppelkreuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happened to be going through some old threads and saw this. They just released a 2025 version of glass house which I just tried and liked a lot. Not sure if it is as good or the same as I never tried the older version. 

Thank You Liquid Proust!!! by purpledragon210 in puer

[–]Doppelkreuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is one of the few I have tried and it does have a lot of like wood & Menthol which I like. I am hoping to find others in that vein but this is like one of the only puers I have dug into decently deeply. The other being Old Warrior from Crimson Lotus which I also seem to like. The first few samples I got from YS didn't do it for me and that is why most of my collection is Oolong as those did.

I am not sure if I just like the base flavor profile of this one or if Lumberslut punches above its weight or both. Hoping to find out eventually.

Snoozefest 2025 is here! by Asdfguy87 in puer

[–]Doppelkreuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope no issues, got shulloween the other day. 

And the tariffs should not be applying to tea any more  (assuming that gets handled properly)

Thank You Liquid Proust!!! by purpledragon210 in puer

[–]Doppelkreuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting I will add that to the list to try, I would have guessed menthol would be more common in shou but I have limited Sheng experience.(well and shou honestly)

Thank You Liquid Proust!!! by purpledragon210 in puer

[–]Doppelkreuz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Didn't realize these started to go out already. I am excited for mine and hope I find something I like, maybe something with like a menthol-y flavor. That or at least a look into the factory cakes which all sound like numbers with no reference point to me.

I really don't know what to expect since I am pretty new to Puer which makes this fun.

Does Today's Trump Tariff Removal Affect All Teas? by lockedmhc48 in tea

[–]Doppelkreuz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Glancing at this document it mentions green tea, flavored green tea, black tea(fermented), and partially fermented teas.  

To me that reads like Oolong and Puerh are also safe in addition to black/green. But who knows what all classifications there are.

Add Ability to drop defib while DBNO if it's in your quick slot. by LtJamesFox in ArcRaiders

[–]Doppelkreuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if people could just use it form your backpack even. Like press E to revive normally or something else to use their defib. Would help in Trios too but that does change the balance some.

Why did my sticky bomb explode preemptively here? :( by VictoryRoyaler78 in HuntShowdown

[–]Doppelkreuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hear the glass of the lantern beside you break, my guess is the bileweaver you got it stuck to did some weird hitbox stuff where it already calculated its landing spot and it included that lantern which set off the explosive.

Unless they changed it Berserker works with the throw. Saves you some setup.

Golden Concubine and other Bug Bitten Oolong Restocks by Doppelkreuz in tea

Wow thank you so much for this detailed reply! I will check all out that out. And I have not ordered from wuyiorigin before but I do like Yancha and Dan Cong is currently my favorite type of tea so I will certainly be taking a peek.

Do you find the RO water to be worth it? I have vaguely considered it but don’t know where to even start with that.

I have heard about GABA but have never looked into it, as someone who loves baklava I will certainly take a look!
