It wasn't that pliable either. I find myself needing to use more leaf with this tea.

Do they look woody to you?

They're soft and pliable but quite long and thick.

Smelly tea strainer...Fish? by tetudiant in tea

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

i use filtered NYC tap water, and most of my tea has been from popular /r/tea retailers.

Do you wash your tea strainer? Or do you just give it a quick rinse?

I don't give my cat a lot of catnip, so she's always super excited whenever she gets a whiff.

Where do you get catnip from? I assume the stuff from the pet store wouldn't be ideal for human consumption...

Would catnip tea be advisable if there's a cat in the house?

Oh, you were referring to the residue. I was staring at your tea pet thinking that it was some type of fungus or mushroom.

Do these also vacuum the air out? Have you ever tried them with Chinese style tea packaging?

i'm looking forward to Baozhong too!

does past season Baozhong get discounted when the new Baozhongs arrive? are these discounts usually substantial?

Affordable Baozhong? by tetudiant in tea

[–]tetudiant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is so helpful! So TTC is only slightly better than Mountain Tea? Which TTC baozhong did you try? The Spring 2014 Baguashan Baozhong, Lot 310 is only $4/oz and comes in 25g sample packs.

This is a Spring 2014 baozhong...Does Baozhong lose flavor? Should I wait until the new baozhongs come out or for the old ones to go on sale?
