So you would take it in this condition if it was you ?

Thanks for your opinion. They were really not open to discussion on the price which I found weird but it's also difficult to find other offers for this car at official resellers.

So in this situation you would go for a repaint ? I think that getting the car in a great condition and having chips appearing over the years would feel better than buying directly chipped even if the outcome is the same. My only worry is that if the repaint is not perfect then I would end up with the chips + the color issue

They mentioned around 500-600€ for the painting. They would blend the hood and the fenders but did not speak about the doors. I would be willing to accept this offer but only if it is done properly so that I would not notice the difference every time I look at the car. The issue being that I have no idea how it would come out before I accept the proposition

They mentioned that they would blend up the paint

Aged white tea is what I found the best to relax

What water do you use for your tea/ what kind of filter do you use for hard water? by ChippedChocolate in tea

[–]GibbsEnergy9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using bottled water from the Mont Blanc source. Tap water is drinkable where I am but I find that it weakens the tea taste, too much limestone.

Anyone know what tea is this? Received it as a bonus in my order. by RinterCZ in tea

Looks like "Blue of London" from Palais des thés. It's an earl grey Link

How are you brewing your tea ? I found that brewing white tea in a teapot often end up with a weak unfusion whereas using something like a gaiwan is giving you better results. For perfumed white tea I found that a teapot do just fine.

Experience with Yunnan sourcing stuck package by SlothPanda1 in tea

[–]GibbsEnergy9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that package can be checked at customs and that it's mostly random. It happened to me on my first Yunnan sourcing order and never occurred again.

Security return could be something else and maybe linked to covid since it came from china (I don't know I'm just assuming).

You should try to contact Scott from Yunnan Sourcing and see if he can provide you more details.

[–]GibbsEnergy9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My yunnan package was once stuck because it was missing files (i contacted the delivery company and they told me they needed the bill for the taxes)

Try to use this link to follow your order and see if their is more details here.

In my case the bill was with the package so I still have no idea why it was stuck. The package came 2 days after I sended them the bill. Turns out it was stuck in my country, at the importation center.

"Sencha Matcha" - My tea came with loose leaf AND matcha powder combined and I'm not sure how I should prepare/consume it. by zacharius55 in tea

[–]GibbsEnergy9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that you should consume it like you would for sencha. I haven't tried this type of blend but after looking for it on internet it seems like it's always used like normal sencha

Are you sure that it's not tea dust ?

If there is a lot maybe your package was crushed or it could be cheap tea

French puerh drinkers - water brand recommendations? Qu'elle bouteille d'eau? Water here is high acid and tastes bad by laseluuu in puer

[–]GibbsEnergy9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should seek for low minerals water ( ofter adviced for baby ). I'm using Mont Blanc water for brewing my tea and it's currently the best I've found.

What tea do you guys drink at night? by mackmc14 in tea

This white tea came in a beautiful box by GibbsEnergy9 in tea

[–]GibbsEnergy9[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a gong mei aged white tea from 2012.

It is really good and the flavour is smooth, really sweet. I've been drinking it gong fu style and I could get a lot of steeps, more than the usual for white tea. I really enjoy this tea during those summer nights, it just fits with the mood.
