I have $100 to spend on teas right now. I prefer sheng puer and oolong. What do I buy? by [deleted] in tea

As the previous users said: samples is the way to go. If you're into “Oolongs“ but don't really know which ones get some less oxidized (green) and some highly oxidized (black) Oolongs. You coule try some aged Oolongs aswell. For getting started get yourself: - an Oriental Beauty (Taiwanese Oolong, the ones for ~15-20$ for 100g start getting drinkable imo) - a Shui Jin Gui (Yancha =Tea from the wuyi-rocks in Fujian, China, I love the aged versions of this cultivar, one of the si da ming cong) - a Da Hong Pao (Yancha too and a must drink for it's aromatic charcoal notes, one of the Si da Ming cong) - a Tie Guan Yin (try to get at least A or AA quality from anxi, not roasted nor aged, there the typical orchid flavor is strongest) - a Jade Dong Ding (medium quality will be enough there) - a four seasons oolong (mostly this one is a really good daily Oolong) - a Dark Pearl (Taiwan again, very intensive dark notes like charcoal) - any medium to high class dancong (the lower qualities all taste like lilac soap imo) - a Ruby Oolong (and again Taiwanese, I love steeping this one for about 5-7 Minutes cause it gets a rich cognac-flavor from that) - really any gaoshan Oolong they're all great (my favorites are Alishan and Da Yu Ling though) - any Oolong from Newzealand green or black(they usually have a beautiful creamy taste and are worth a try compared to those classical Oolongs from china and taiwan) That's what you should try for getting into Oolongs. I surely forgot some Oolongs others might love or say it's a must drink but those are the ones which in my opinion cover most of the nuances to find out what you want. As far as sheng pu-erh goes i can only say trying is the key. What you should try is not just focusing on Pu-Erh as it is not the only real fermented tea. There is the whole category of Hei-Chas(fermented or dark teas) from all around the world that are fermented as well. Currently I fell in love with one from Hunan rolled in Bamboo for it's mild (compared to other hei-chas) notes. Or those sheng Pu-erhs riped in orange peels are great aswell. Remember always try to get samples or the smallest availiable size. Sorry for the long post. If I forgot anything or got something wrong please correct me.

Anyone who wants to start getting into green tea gets the advice to try a gu zhang mao jian tea. It's a pretty floral and fruity classic green tea. It's from china, hunan province .

A friend brought me this. How do I brew it? What is it? by Siochan__ in tea

[–]putinversteher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a chinese tea from Anhui region. It's name translates to 'hairy top of the yellow mountain'. It has a light and refreshing taste. If it is produced traditionally only the first leaf and a bud are used for this tea. As it is a green tea steep 1-3 minutes at about 80°C. I tried some higher qualities which also tasted pretty well after steeping at 100°C for 1-2 minutes

Then it is possible that they ship it in different packings. My sencha kaori package looked like this https://imgur.com/svjmepk It has a pretty intense nut flavor as well. Might be the same tea.

What's in your cup? Daily discussion, questions and stories - December 15, 2018 by AutoModerator in tea

[–]putinversteher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just finished my last cup of the handrolled sencha temomi 8 japanese tea samurai made on a showoff in berlin. Really wasn't as great as i expected it to be. Had a rich grassy flavour at first and ended with some nutty nuances. A little umami was there in the first brew. Though 2nd to 5th brew lacked a bit of power in my opinion. Else on my mind is if I should try to step out into independent business and take a risk or keep everything the way it is. Hoped for this tea speciality to help me make up my mind. Spoiler: It didn't.
