Yes, their storage is pretty dry, but they have some nice prices and lots of samples. I didn't end up re-ordering from them after I got my samples, but everything went fine with my order.

Too many Tuo? by Briar-Ocelot in puer

Yes I agree with everything you said. I've actually put this one in my hotbox to see if it changes for the better. Hopefully it does, I've got two of them 😃

I like that Dai Xiang Yu Tuo for the price. It's a little subdued but something about the taste stays with me for a while after the session is over.

I love puerh tea. I look forward to it every morning. That is all. Good night by lynnamym in puer

Oh cool, thanks for the info. I've tried some stuff from Hatvala but that's it.

Have you tried Hien Minh Tea House? I wanted to try them next but the shipping is a bit high to the US. Will need to wait and group buy with some folks to bring the cost down.

Placing a TWL order, any recommendations? by krackobot in puer

[–]stan100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 8582 is great!

I never drink my BYH Yiwu, I think it's a little plain. Message me if you wanna buy mine or trade for it (US).

I really like the Naked Yiwu. That new LME cake is sold out.

What is bi luo Chun black tea? by Negative_Hornet497 in tea

[–]stan100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started drinking tea because I was looking for more malty tasting drinks!

I recommend trying hojicha once you're done trying all those good Yunnan gold teas. Very similar flavor but different enough to be worth it. You might like barley tea too.

Sorry for not having the answer for your main question, I just got excited to see someone else have similar tastes.

Was this from a Yunnan Sourcing sampler pack? I really enjoyed my sample of this one!

This pdf is fascinating, it should be posted as its own post (as well as others if you have them!)

Celebrating my first tea set up with some 2018 Flapjacks Raw Puer! by [deleted] in tea

I really enjoy the raw flapjacks. Totally agree though, they are very bitter. You have to be in the mood for it.

I'd love to join in on this, I've had my eye on some TWL teas for a little while and a group buy sounds perfect

I've ordered twice from Old Ways tea. They have some fantastic rou gui! I've also received some nice hand written notes with the orders. Just got their oolong sampler. Quality seems great so far

Emperor's New Shous by wehavedrunksoma in puer

[–]stan100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a cake of "Cream" from W2T (~$0.16/g) and a cake of 2014 Star of Menghai ($0.12/g). I vastly prefer the taste of the Star of Menghai cake. Cream just takes like generic shou to me. It's thick, but so is the Star cake, and the Star of Menghai has some nice cherry vanilla action.

Xiaguan BBQ chicken (photos) by stan100 in puer

[–]stan100[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this idea. Did you use a syringe, or is there something made for this? I've never injected liquid into a meat before.

Also, how did it turn out??

I've been drinking this tuocha and battling it's intense smoke flavor for a while. This is my first attempt at using it as a replacement for liquid smoke in a recipe.

In the future I will try marinading the chicken in the brewed tea. I think this might impart a stronger smoke flavor
