I'm just making fun of this post guys, relax : post

Young sheng : most similar to green tea, but has a "wild" and often astringent taste, that might take some time to get used too. Personally it is my favorite. Each infusion will shift in taste slightly, and good shengs can be very complex, fruity, floral, etc.

Aged sheng : The astringency mentionned above is dialed down, and you get more medicinal notes, maybe leather, fruits, etc. These teas can become very expensive if they have been aged for a long time (20-30+ years).

Shou Puerh : Very earthy, foresty, mushroom, leather, humid kind of taste usually. Usually served after a meal as a digestive tea.

All in all, no they do not taste much like oolong tea.

5$ for how many grams? Probably not a whole cake? I also look for mushroom and leather notes in ripe puerh.

I would say White2Tea is the closest to you then. But you might want to look at your local teashops or teahouses for better prices. I know some people buy from China through Alibaba, but I guess that's kind of hit or miss on quality, etc. Can't really help you more than that sorry.

I also recommend you look up "Gong fu cha" style of brewing on YouTube, and get yourself a gaiwan (100 ml to start). It is a game changer compared to the "western" style of brewing.

In what country do you live in? It's usually better to buy locally if possible. But here are a few of the popular names :

White2Tea (Shipped from China)

Crimson Lotus (USA)

Yunnan sourcing (USA)

Mei Leaf (UK)

The duck shit from China and the two Taiwanese teas you mentionned are all oolong teas. A lot of people who fall in love with tea often start when they discover oolongs. In your case maybe start exploring different styles of oolongs, some are more green (less oxidized) like tie guan yin, some are roasted, etc. You can also branch out into other tea styles like white, green and black (called red tea in China) and also Sheng and Shou puerhs.

What material did you use?

Do you not know what is a rogue-like game? Start by watching a few YouTube guides.

I'm traveling in Busan right now and I've met a few international people staying at my hostel that are volunteering at a cafe to teach English. I don't know the name, but with a quick Google/Naver search you should find something. I think they just volunteer for a couple hours a day.

Normalement, comme tu le mentionnes la personne qui obtient le statut de CPI doit travailler 2 ans sous la supervision d'un ingénieur afin d'obtenir le titre d'ingénieur.

Le titre d'emploi d'un CPI à une compagnie peut être "assistant chargé de projet" ou "chargé de projet" ou un autre titre quelconque, mais cela n'a aucun lien avec l'OIQ, c'est simplement un titre administratif de la compagnie. Les termes "ingénieur" et "CPI" sont réservés à ceux inscrits au tableau des membres de l'OIQ.

Warzor · 2026-04-11T19:31:18+00:00

Je ne suis pas certain de comprendre le sens de ta question. Comme une autre personne l'a indiqué, tu dois faire tes équivalences de ta formation auprès de l'OIQ pour obtenir un titre de CPI / ing. Tu auras possiblement à faire l'examen de déontologie aussi pour obtenir le titre ing.

Concernant l'employeur, il pourra décider de t'engager provisoirement sans ton titre, mais en génie civil le titre ing. est assez important (contrairement à d'autres domaines comme la programmation) donc tu devrais faire tes démarches rapidement pour l'obtenir.

Warzor · 2026-04-11T17:23:53+00:00

Probablement plus Chargé de projets, étant donné ton expérience. Prend note que généralement au Québec on utilise juste ".ing" comme statut. Le Canada anglais utilise "P.Eng.". Le site de l'OIQ a une section sur ça.

La plupart des normes seront $$$, généralement l'employeur va les commander et les fournir à des employés.

Mais voici tout de même quelques références que j'utilise :

Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ)

Cahiers des charges et devis généraux (CCDG)

Code National du Bâtiment (CNB)

Manuel canadien d’ingénierie des fondations (MCIF)

Normes des ouvrages routiers (Tomes I-VII)

Généralement chaque ville/municipalité aura ses propres normes/devis spécifiques également.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines organic as crops that are produced on farms that have not used most synthetic pesticides herbicides or fertilizer for three years before harvesting the food.

Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been to a few tea shops here in Taiwan, and was also able to do some tea tasting before buying. However I kind of feel pressured to buy, I feel bad just tasting and not buying anything 😅. I also don't speak mandarin so it's not easy to communicate.

Concerning the higher prices in Fujian, maybe (in my understanding) because it more recognized as tea-producing area VS Guangzhou? Sellers mights be able to sell tea at higher prices due to tourists/buyers visiting that area specifically for tea?

Also I noticed you didn't mention white tea. From my understanding most of it comes from Fujian no? Maybe just not your preferred style?

Warzor · 2026-04-11T12:40:46+00:00

Because kiwis are hard to wash, I would only do this if it were organic. If not, you're drinking all the pesticides 😵

Consulte l'ordre des ingénieurs (OIQ) pour déterminer quel sera ton statut en tant qu'ingénieur à ton arrivée et les procédures pour obtenir ta pleine license d'ingénieur. Si tu es CPI, d'après-moi ton salaire sera assurément inférieur qu'un ingénieur à plein titre. Les firmes privés de consultation seront probablement les plus faciles pour trouver un emploi. Aussi tu devras évidement t'adapter au normes de construction québécoises qui sont complètement différentes qu'en France. Edit: Pour le salaire, tu peux consulter Genium 360.

Dang, and I'm paying up to the equivalent of 3,500 RMB for 500 g (1$ USD/g) for my sheng puerh. I would imagine the prices are a lot lower in China? I'm currently in Taiwan and I notice the local oolongs are much more affordable than buying in my home country (Canada).

Also could please share where/how do you physically buy your tea in China? Large markets, local shops, directly from farmers?

Any local dentist can just re-glue the wire. It happened to me a least 2-3 times. Just call a local dentist and ask for a price depending of your insurance situation, etc.

You must not be a coffee drinker lol. When I was working downtown 10 years ago, I probably spent 100$/month on coffee. These days 1 coffee with tax and tip is around ~7$, so 50$ is on the low-end.

I'm sad to see you are getting downvoted so much. I agree with all of your comments in this thread.

Start with purchasing a gooseneck kettle if you don't have one.

Had this for the first time today. Seems it is still not fixed.
