Beautiful cup!!!

both also but more to coffee, it gives me the morning kick i really need!

 

[Mr.P]

Tea always feels better in my system and I feel like there are more nuances that appeal to me. I know coffee can be very interesting but I have never studied it enough to appreciate it and I end up adding milk and sugar to make it more appealing.

But coffee is hard (impossible for me) to resist in the AM.

你喜欢茶或咖啡或两者兼而有之？

用一杯精心冲泡的茶或咖啡轻扫印地语油是崇高的。

尤其是在我们在英国越来越热、阳光明媚的天气里。

Stunning pot! What’s kind of teas do you like to drink mostly?

I’ve gotten hooked on drinking tea the last month or so! Mostly puerh, sheng and shu. I like to cold brew green teas and oolongs overnight to drink during the day too. A cup of puerh and a swipe of oud is unmatched. Some of my favorites I’ve had in this short time.

I am certainly not a tea conniseaur by any means. Usually just the bog standard tea. But I do enjoy tea more lately and have been inspired by @Taesik Yun recent tea excursion with photos. I shall send him my tea bill if it goes the way of my oud bills....😇

Yes, those photos by Taesik also made me want to explore some more! The combination of tea, incense, and oud looked so serene that I had to see what the fuss was about. A hobby that seems never ending with all the teas, regions, and pots to learn about.

pu'erh is such a deep, deep rabbit hole to go down... also many parallels w the oud trade : )

💯 finding myself falling deeper with every sample I try of pu. As a westerner you’re so rarely exposed to it. Glad I’ve been able to find it alongside oud

really recommend the documentary "all in this tea" about david lee hoffman, an artisinal/natural tea maniac who singlehandedly (more or less) introduced high-quality pu'erh to the states. he dug out a hillside in northern CA to stash prob millions worth of cakes. fascinating guy & the doc gives some interesting context w/r/t contemporary tea production

I am big fan of this premium rare things as for oud

Definitely tea, I tend to drink young Bulang/Menghai Sheng Puer or Gongmei most of the time, but if I had the money for it I would go for Xingrenxiang Fenghuang Dancong much more often, unfortunately, it tends to cost $15+ a session at 15g/100ml for Guangdong style brewing. Other than that I've been on a Chongshicha tear lately; Liquid Proust tends to get some extraordinarily cool ones, sipping a 1940s right now while I warm some wild Sumatran wood. During the winter, my tastes tend to shift towards Wuyi Yancha like Tielouhan and Su Xin Lan. Recently I have been experimenting with brewing chunks of aloeswood in with my tea, it adds a cooling and spicy attribute that is quite fascinating.
