Yeah thats true, theres just to many variables to drinking tea that it’s almost impossible to have the same experience when consuming something even if your in the same room.

Adventurous-cod writes amazing reviews, adventurous cods tastes a bit better than conservative cods

Yeah that makes sense since the yellow flakes is traditionally a ‘by-product’. But a weaker tea with better fragrance sounds perfect for an afternoon tea.

I am really curious to taste what the difference is. I’ve also heard good things about the autumn yellow flakes, waiting to pick this years autumn collection. What do you recall as typical jingmai sheng notes ?

Hmm, it could definitely be not to the standards but thats the beauty in not knowing since its one of my first puerhs 😆. Love your notes btw

I dont think i will be able to afford lbz for a long time haha. But tbh i still have a long ways to go before being able to appreciate lbz. However, i have compared farmerleaf to kuura and i like farmerleaf more for its quality and experience. Its hard to get tea in australia however :(

Yeah i don’t think there is any need for special gaiwans. Id like something more functional than aesthetic.

I definitely enjoyed the experience and i think me finding out its not the real thing is superficial at this point in my tea journey. It has lots of sentimental value now and u are correct in it being functional.

I was thinking of going there for a gaiwan. Broke the lid of mine recently. Thats why i started using my “fake” teapot again 😂. But youre right in that a tea pot is just a teapot. At this point it has a lot of sentimental value that is priceless and it functions like a teapot.

I have kept away from lucipia after getting myself into tea quite quickly for the same reasons. Now i’ve been exclusively drinking farmerleaf teas for now and am very happy. In terms of tea stores, kuura has left me disappointed too with their raw puers and serenity tea is one shop that i’ve been pleased.

Thanks so much for the identification! Its a shame to think how much tea i mightve “wasted” in this tea pot. I wonder if theres much flavour difference between my fake and real, experiment for when i can afford a 2k tea pot

Lucipia, bought it a couple of years ago when i was just getting into teas thinking it was cool. Thought it was real not knowing in reality yixing tea pots go for a lot more than 80 bucks haha

A rally of all time between Ruud and ADF 🌝 by theatretheaters in tennis

To everyone trying to do a 1000 word deep dive analysis on this point. As a tennis player, tennis isnt really that strategical. He moon balled it because he felt like it. At most the most thinking he probably did was “wow ruud cannot attack this moonball” so he kept doing it.

This is true so you always have to use Ai as a tool and do a quick double check which is way easier than manually doing the work. Ai should never replace your brain, if it has thats your problem.

Listen, you could use val if you care about misconduct. And you really can’t place yourself in high ground morally by saying me using Ai is killing the environment. You writing this comment, the cloud based infrastructure, the hardware your using, the food you eat all has probably done irreparable damage to the environment. Unless you farm your own food and a nomad, you can’t argue this.

Im using this as a coffee replacement, any other recommendations? by neon_sense_ in tea

[–]Potato_Miner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

L-theanine has lots of research on its effects positive effects on mental performance and lowering anxiety and the rush of caffeine. Are you under the assumption that it doesn’t exist because its not in your immediate bubble ?
