Tea Teatters #43

And you should hear the noise in my tea cupboard. Toci

:) The things my Gyokuro's say would cause a lesser tea to shrivel up and die. I have to console my sencha daily. Puerh is a right bully though and I've broken up quite a few scuffles with the Keemun, just because their older and bigger...

In all honesty the original sentiment is true, very often one tea will change my opinion of another one way or the other sometimes long after the fact.

I tell people I use a divining rod to pick my teas. I get a double take when I tell this to other tea drinkers. There is some mysterious process that helps me pick. Now Im in the process of evaluating the taste of puer plaques. I have no basis except for what I already know about puer and tea taste in general. I suspect the same 'glue' used in a tea blossom is used in a plaque. I cant seem to taste or see it.
