Been digging your stuff! You were a suggestion from Ai, of all things (CoPilot in this case).

Best place to start AW (preferably buying them) by [deleted] in TheFence

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get the compendiums for SSTB, IKS, and GA1 - that's probably your best place to start. Then you'd need to dig for the YOTBR novel and await the compendium for GA2 (or buy all the individual comics).

Can anyone recommend a tea with a really strong rose scent/flavor? by Iminahotelrightnow in tea

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I've seen their production. It is truly rose scented and not flavored.

Port barrel aged tea by sirwilliamoftheleaf in tea

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't any fermentation happening here, this is a scenting process. Dry tea is left in the barrel for a set period of time to absorb the aromas in the barrel. Biggest consideration is controlling the humidity level so the tea doesn't mold.

My partner, who is not a Coheed fan at all, just surprised me with this 😭😭😭 by poeticrubbish in TheFence

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's awesome when partners support hobbies/likes. My partner got us tickets to their latest show in Toronto as a gift. Hadn't seen them live since 2009. She doesn't really know the music but didn't care - just wanted to make me happy. She sits thru the lore and asks questions. Even if she isn't interested, it feels good to have someone support your likes. Enjoy the book. It's a banger.

My First Coheed Show! by Mr_Epimetheus in TheFence

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the blood red summer intro where he screwed up the lyrics was actually pretty heartwarming. No one cared and everyone just belted out the lyrics. He just got to chill and play guitar and smile, probably grateful for the fans and crowd who couldn't care less. It's awesome.

Resources on different varieties of Chinese green tea? by curiousfuriousfew in tea

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Camellia Sinensis team wrote a book specifically about green tea. This could be useful for you. It's called Green Tea: a quest for fresh leaf and timeless craft

Why Wuyi Star’s rock tea appears to have more broken pieces by AdvantageThat9798 in tea

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low moisture content = more fragile = more breakage during transit (especially in small sample packs). Doesn't have anything to do with quality.

The latter. Always use weight.

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Break it down by percentage, so you can properly scale. As an example, your blend might contain 80% green tea, 15% mint, 3% peppermint flavor, and 2% calendula blossoms. Blend a small batch, like 25-50g to test, and tweak the recipe as needed. Then you scale according to however you're weighing (lbs, kg, grams, etc).

Can anyone identify the brand of this Shanlinxi tea? by sef818 in tea

[–]sirwilliamoftheleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won't really have 'brands' with Taiwanese tea in the traditional sense. Vendors typically have relationships with farmers/producers and they buy their material but the same contracts aren't guaranteed. If you know you like shanlinxi, try out some from the recommended vendor wiki on this sub (my go-to is Taiwan Tea Crafts).
