One of the intentionally aged teas, Pu-Erh has a loyal following.

Why I love oolongs

by Drax » Jun 23rd, '09, 18:12

So spending the week with the oolong box pass means spending the week with oolongs.

I do like oolongs, but while I was drinking an oolong recently, I realized there was something that made me like them even more -- a day spent with an oolong means a day for all that pu'erh to get a day older and a day better.


Mwhahahaha. :D

It's an Oolong - Drax - Pu-erh love triangle! :lol:

But wait.. this means.. if you spend 30 years drinking nothing but oolong, your puerhs will get 30 years older!!! My god, the possibilities here are endless.. you can increase the time to 40 or 50 years. I've found a gold mine of puerh-aging!

I love oolong as much as the next guy but it can be so darn expensive! You can get a pretty nice 357g. puerh cake at $15 (new) or 100g. of oolong at $15-20. Yes the prices differ, but when it comes down to it puerh is much cheaper than oolong.

Of course I'm just being silly.... that's why I posted just a "provocative" title in the pu'erh section.

It's not just oolongs, either... drinking any tea will cause the rest of the pu'erh to get older. Wait a minute, I guess that also happens while drinking pu'erh tea...

Uh oh, I think I've just created some sort of paradox. Quick, don't look at it! Run away!
