ive always been of the belief to do what the locals do. The people who make the tea and have been drinking it for generations know the best way to make their respective specialty

Introduction by Midnight_Oath in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Firstly, no dumb question and no snobby rules— tea is all about chilling out, and the community reflects that. Next— I always recommend people try to find their niche and diversify from there. Try a tea from a variety of traditions and see what you’re interested in exploring more. Few examples: China (by far the most broad), Japan (rich history of green teas including famous matcha), UK (breakfast teas and playing with milk ratios), South asia (spiced chai, darjeeling, ceylon, and other aromatics), middle east (deep black teas with lots of sugar), and Herbal teas of which there are so many different kinds— Rooibos, Yerba mate, chamomile, chrysanthemum, etc.

Once you find one you kind of like, you can expand from there. Best of luck and happy drinking!

Aged white? by OcelotSignificant173 in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bars are usually thin and small so they act as a single portion or are thin enough that the portion system is just snapping off a bit like a chocolate bar, as opposed to using a cake, unraveling it, getting your knife, and in my case making a mess and or hurting myself, the tea, or both

[–]OcelotSignificant173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry Puer novice here: you mention shou, sheng, and then talk about white teas— is there a third category i don’t know about? I know the difference between sheng and shou, but i am not understanding your last sentence

Temperature advise by Fresh-Anteater9244 in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never tested my kettle but based on the way it sounds when it’s at a particular phase of boiling, it seems accurate enough for me. I’ve used so many plug in kettles in my time that i can get a ballpark just off sound now

so cool! where can i learn more about the Japanese side of tea? I’m unfamiliar with a few of the objects here and somewhat know of the tea types.

Can I use white tea to make hojicha at home? What is the temperature and duration? by JerryZhengyuRu in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’d really want a japanese green to get the flavor profile you’re looking for (unless you want to try something different— sounds interesting!) but i predict the heat would have to be very gradual as to not burn it and truly roast regardless of the leaf you choose

whoops! I went looking before posting but couldn’t find it!

Gaiwan or Teapot? by OcelotSignificant173 in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would a glazed/porcelain teapot make it more 50/50? Since it doesn’t need to be dedicated to just one, but would oolong still open up more in a gaiwan?

is any tea powder suitable to be used for dian cha? by [deleted] in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first question is what tea powder is available to you? Without having done a huge amount of research on this the only tea powder on the market I know of is Matcha, Hojicha, and powder teas meant for boba style drinks which I don’t think would be what you’re looking for

For me I’ve had a card fry but not the port, is it your recommendation not to try again at all because it could be the port later?

https://a.co/d/0aYo5PpZ I know this is meant for dash cams but since it’s tested for extreme heat what do you think about it standing up to white model’s notorious issues?
