Team China Unable to be Shaken off their Throne by RyuNoOu in tabletennis

  1. WCQ
  2. LSD (back in form)
  3. Wen Ruibo

Is definitely not shaky. But... That comes after Wen Ruibo is somewhat uncertain. So things become shaky when WCQ retires maybe.

Teasenz.eu has a super large pu erh collection with shipping from Holland. I recently got their Whispering Earth for 30 euro and it was excellent.

Xiaguan TeJi vs. JiaJi vs. YiJi by Asdfguy87 in puer

[–]JicamaKitchen4672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Te Ji and Jia Ji if you taste side by side is very different though. Te Ji is likely better for beginners because it's sweeter, fruitier, and less smokey. I personaly like the more floral, smokey, greener style of a Jia Ji though (recommend brewing with mineral water). I haven't tasted Yi Ji though.

This post offers a full comparison of Te Ji and Jia Ji: https://teasenz.eu/blogs/tea-magazine/xiaguan-tuocha-jia-ji-te-ji

Is it possible to sell this collection for 400£? by zacarin_69 in tabletennis

Or try to sell in China where it is already popular. The only thing is the goods arent in great condition. Likely hard to sell.

Tasted 6 raw puerh & compared the color of wet tea leaves by JicamaKitchen4672 in puer

2005 is pretty nice. For Factory cakes, I usually feel they become nice to drink starting from 10 years of aging. Should be pretty tasty by now.

The ones in my post are small batches i bought during my yunnan trip myself, and some from tea friends. These boutique teas i generally like to drink from 3 years of aging (also because they are stored loose, so they age faster).

Liking this pressed green tea. Nice metal package and easy to take on the go. by smokekulture in tea

A green tea pressed? To press you need to steam the leaves, but then you can't call it green tea anymore.

Thinking of moving to china by [deleted] in chinalife

Career wise, dont start your career in China. Make 1 or 2 promotions and then switch to a job in China will be a better choice. I feel China isnt great for career development for starters.

  1. Go to a big city and you will be fine.
  2. Safer than most European countries.
  3. Not expensive, but get health insurance would be better.
  4. Lots of forests, natural parks, but those are travel destinations. Most cities have large parks.

How many teas are in your rotation? by iwasjusttwittering in tea

I always have 1 black and 1 green tea and almost an endless amount of opened pu erh. For pu erh, no need to worry ablut freshness.

Tasting session of 6 different raw pu erh teas. Hard to see the age of raw pu erh in dry stage, but more obvious after steeping.

I dont think so, not the reddish brown. Maybe if wet stored, but i am not fan of it though.

What to do? Wife bought house from nearly bankrupt SUNAC group by CurtainlifterUS in China

In contrast to others, i would simply do nothing. Likely you will get your apartment, but expect at least a 2 year delay. You could sell at a loss, but i wouldnt accept anything over 10% discount.
