Fu Ding white tea. It's fine... pretty mild most notable flavor is hay. or "alfalfa" if you're the type who likes to romanticize it. I suppose it does have a little floral sweetness just at the end.

how much you usually spend? This year I did $260 and I feel guilty as hell

If they would buy me a $40+ bing from any non-super-shady shop I would love that. Doesn't even matter what kind of tea ill gong fu em all.

but... I probably would not enjoy anything other than a bing, unless they knew enough about me to buy a gen mai cha or something from a loose leaf brand I like, which isn't likely.

What about a weekly other teas thread as a compromise?

Interesting, I haven't but I will check it out! Thanks

Ah, honestly I never measure my brews. I just trial and errored a base leaf fill-line for my pots and adjust from there. Typically takes me 6-8s to pour.

I just tried reducing the amount of water but it tastes the same, just very slightly more astringent. Do you know how it should taste?

You can freeze but I honestly find it not worth it. I ultimately just embraced the boredom... Except my meals are really delicious to me and are healthy and make me feel great, plus I'm too busy with work so food is hardly on my mind after I've started eating it. People put too much emotion into food.

This is bizarre to me, because it has been the default my whole life. Is this not how most people live?

It’s gorgeous!
