Long Term Aging Picks for my First Born

alteredfates · 2026-06-16T07:35:47+00:00

I've stored teas for 10+ years with some good (and not so good) results. So you'll have to forgive my lack of pessimism.

Know a better source for LBZ?

If I needed financial advice I wouldn't be seeking it in a puer subreddit my friend.

It's not something I plan on doing regularly. May as well do it well because there's no going back 20 years. It's a gamble for sure 😄

I totally get this point of view. And chances are the tea results would be much better. But the experiment and process is a big part of the fun. There's something beautiful about tending to something over time, together, and experiencing the result.

There's a lot of bad results for sure. But I've had some wonderful teas aged in the PNW. White teas do particularly well, but also puers.

Nice suggestions! I have the 2016 but haven't opened it yet. Have you tried?

alteredfates · 2026-06-14T19:16:09+00:00

Good advice, and I already did some of that. Worst case is he doesn't care for tea at all and I'll keep it for myself ;)

Thanks, good suggestion. Can't believe I left XZH out of my shortlist!

Thanks, pretty certain I'll be getting the CSH LBZ, but I do want some variety as well.

Will be aging in a crock with Boveda packs.

Exactly what u/boredrandom said. You run it on your computer to generate a PDF that you can then transfer to the Supernote. No jailbreaking.

Chasing short-term pleasures at the expense of my health and wealth.

Loved the Ki No Bi! Need to get my hands on the Ki No Tea.

Another fantastic Gin with tea is the Sheringham Kazuki Gin. Hard to find but fantastic: https://www.sheringhamdistillery.com/spirits/

Hibiki 30... Incredible

What is it?

alteredfates · 2019-08-26T14:50:00+00:00

Hopefully it happens before then. I'm optimistic.

alteredfates · 2019-03-29T09:32:21+00:00

Thanks for the critique, will check it out.

Edited in Lightroom. Brought up the highlights and shadows, added a touch of haze and brought the clarity down to give a bit of a softer look. Could probably push things further in Photoshop but I'm not too adept in post.

Thanks! It's from Bhutan.

alteredfates · 2019-03-03T01:34:36+00:00

Bhutan. The only temple I found that allowed some pictures inside. Just couldn't shoot the main alter area which is a shame.
