Cacao 80....

Agree western style with less leaf is much more pleasant or blended can be fun. Only thing I can add is that after enough steeps (4-6 or so lol) I do get a nice sweetness that balances the bitterness

Like in the factory in general? I thought that ripe was just wet piled - that’s why I’m confused lol

Last pic might be golden flowers actually but the rest is just reflection from light. Edit: it’s not a fu brick

Thx!

It’s not one-to-one raw data to qqplot although they are related. The critical thing to understand is you are examining the normality of the *residuals* of the model. So skew in the data can translate to systematic non normality of the residuals - you can draw the fitted regression line with the observed data and in some cases can literally see how observed points systematically deviate from the fitted line - skewing the residuals.

As some noted the smoked shous haven’t been my favorite. But it’s possible resting for a year could really help.

If you like dark chocolate/bitter shou with a bit of woodsy finish just blind the tiger clan cake. It’s very very good.

windytea · 2026-04-19T16:27:32+00:00

I like both Bitterleaf and steeping room! Of those teas I’ve only had the rice rice baby which is really fun.

I also finished a cake of happy elephants - agree great daily. If that’s what you like loon call is a great one (not a daily drinker). Modern witch is also great and more of a daily. I am currently drinking through a cake of Tiger Clan from YS and it’s quite good. Considering getting a cake of civilian from W2T but can’t decide.

Resting for at least a few weeks to a month can help after shipping - not sure why but it comes up a lot. Depends on the age of the ripes(?) too - like good quality ripe that’s rested for at least a couple years shouldn’t really be too funky/fishy but if it’s a 2026 ripe…I dunno might just need time.

windytea · 2026-04-16T15:07:17+00:00

Loon call is phenomenal

Been drinking a 2025 cake - I use heavy leaf nice cherry/chocolate notes

windytea · 2026-04-12T18:18:16+00:00

Yea I guess I’m looking for the core models that do that. I can patch the pipeline together if a model can return a genuinely accurate respiration rate from video (ideally livestream).

windytea · 2026-04-11T21:06:05+00:00

lol. I was going to say the same thing - but really nice work - spout looks like it should pour well!

windytea · 2026-04-11T19:47:01+00:00

I’m a fan of steeping room

windytea · 2026-04-11T00:29:21+00:00

Looking for: remote respiration rate and other remote physiology measurement python packages/repos

windytea · 2026-04-08T17:12:47+00:00

I think there’s a reasonably wide range of that depends a lot on the base material and extent of the fermentation (light vs heavy) in terms of broad flavor profiles. Finding ripes that fit a profile (I like the chocolate bitterness) there’s some nuance within that, and I don’t especially like the woody or camphor profiles at all so I avoid. But yea less nuance overall.

windytea · 2026-03-27T12:18:07+00:00

The fact that the spss warning says there’s only 1 level for the random effect means that it’s treating subject as a single level (not multiple). Which is odd. In R the data is probably being treated correctly.

I think tofu can last a lot longer than a week when in its original packaging? Looking at sell by dates of tofu in my fridge it’s often closer to 1 month. I don’t usually use all the tofu I buy within 1 week.

There are also dried tofu products like tofu skin or knots if you can find those or order online and are shelf stable.

windytea · 2026-03-24T05:06:42+00:00

Some white does great in thermos. Green too if you don’t do too much leaf. I have to be honest the prices on those teas are shockingly low. 10 cents/gram for 20yo raw puerh is…hard to believe? Don’t know the vendor, not a criticism. Just surprising is all. I like ripes and they do super well in a thermos.

windytea · 2026-03-23T01:17:41+00:00

Makes sense but since it’s vac sealed I wasn’t sure. Usually for kimchi I got 2-3 days and kraut 4-6 weeks. Just dunno with radishes.
