Today I broke up the last of a xiaguan iron cake. I'm not sure how to approach the rest of my puer stash because I don't know the future of Chinese tea availability. I'm going to start mixing some local Asian grocery store oolong and green tea finds into my rotation. Can folks recommend any labels to look out for? I will ofc share my own discoveries, too.

A dark and stained tea cup and a pale gaiwan sit on a bamboo mat. There is a little pile of as-yet un-steeped puer leaves in the gaiwan.

Buổi hòa nhạc tại Bắc Kinh là nơi giao thoa tuyệt đẹp giữa âm nhạc cổ Trung Quốc và Nhật Bản. Nhạc cụ sheng và sho không chỉ tôn vinh di sản văn hóa mà còn kết nối các thế hệ và khơi nguồn cảm hứng sáng tạo. ift.tt/tMkDJgv

Was not able to extract it intact. 😔

A clump of compressed tea with a square of paper stuck to it. The paper square has chinese characters on it and some individual tea leafs stuck on top of it.

I have been drinking a lot of oolong this year. Need to give my puerh cakes some attention.

A tiny teapot sits on a bamboo mat. There is a big chunk of puerh tea leaf on top of it. In the foreground is a small piece of paper with a crane logo, some Chinese writing, and the number 8653.

In the current season of #BigMouth, "The International Show" episode has a segment in #Kenya. It appears that they speak #Sheng during this portion, apparently a heavy mixture of #Swahili and #English, though I don't know this language and tried to deduce what was being spoken. I'm curious how accurate this was: the actors were #Kenyan but the #codeswitching was frequently intersentential rather than intrasentential as I could understand a lot of it.

Probably, the most "meh" tea I have from YS

"Golden Pig" #Sheng #Puerh from Lincang, Yunnan [Autumn '19, YS]

It was described as bitter and astringent as a young sheng, and it was so in 2021 when I ordered it, ans it's still about the same in 2023

I've stored it in my "pumidor" at about 60% RH 25C for almost two years, but such mode didn't affect this tea (likely not hot and [wet enough), so it wasn't aging (at least in better direction).

Going to #ColdBrew it to be able to drink.

Dry tea leaves lying in a bamboo scoop.

Leaves' colour is of brown oak spectrum with some lighter pieces.

Dry material smells a little, but it reminds me of a different tea in the same container, so I'm not sure this is original smell of it.Tea cake wrapper by vendor:
