Smooth, good taste. Was hoping for more citrus. Going to steep with the peel next time. https://yunnansourcing.com/products/gong-ting-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cured-in-king-orange

I got this tea from China that’s cured in an alleged “King Orange” but it’s only half the size of a clementine.

Ordered some tea last night from a shop in a nearby town and one of the owners actually brought the tea to my house! 🥰

Finally finished this, not a huge fan. Pretty mild flavor that’s good if you get it right but if you steep at slightly too high of a temperature or for slightly too long you get too much umami and it’s one of those that can get you nauseous on an empty stomach

Love/hate relationship with this tea. One of the best flavors I’ve ever had but very prone to sediment even with super fine mesh infusers

Mostly taste preference. I've tried coffee several times and the taste is always off putting. Depending on where you are, you can get great tea from local Asian markets! Brands I tend to get are either ito-en or Yamamotoyama. Matcha is arguably the most popular; it's quite gentle. Oolong and Jasmine are fantastic imo, and Hojicha has a really bold flavor due to being roasted. When brewing just try to be mindful of the temperatures (near or below boiling) as green tea can end up extra bitter if left in hot water too long. There's also bottled teas from ito-en which I'd say are iconic staples— refreshing and convenient way to try tea!

I am Japanese, so I often drink green tea, and I actually like this tea the best!! Karada meguricha (からだ巡茶) It has an oolong tea base with ginseng, dokudami, and many other things🍵

TIL there is a tea plantation in Italy https://www.compagniadellago.com/fiori-e-piante/pianta-del-the/ I've always thought of tea as cultivated in Asia and some limited production in East Africa, Latin America, or the Levant - first I've heard of production happening in Europe (really want to try it)
