tea is under 1%, maybe under 0.1% aromatics, 99%++ everything else, pigments, polyphenols, tannates etc. the latter compounds appear to have more health effects both negative and positive depending on body condition.William wrote:Hi kyarazen,kyarazen wrote:

This is how I am with every tea, especially the small amount of real LBZ I have. I try to get at least a week of brewing out of the 5-10 grams I use about once a year.kyarazen wrote:people have been known to drink teas for days, countless brews etc, always pushing and always trying to get as much as they can get from the leaves..William wrote:Hi kyarazen,kyarazen wrote:

I usually push with brews, and until now, my body seems to have no problems. But usually, if the session exceeds the first day, however, does not go beyond the second (day).kyarazen wrote:tea is under 1%, maybe under 0.1% aromatics, 99%++ everything else, pigments, polyphenols, tannates etc. the latter compounds appear to have more health effects both negative and positive depending on body condition.William wrote:Hi kyarazen,kyarazen wrote:

its controversial now though, people have been known to drink teas for days, countless brews etc, always pushing and always trying to get as much as they can get from the leaves..
its only with LBZ that i go for so many brews because of the quick steeps, if i had to increase the steep duration significantly during the end point i might just throw it out.
scientifically, tea is just like brewing an espresso, you need to know how much you should elute before whatever that comes out at the end, or from further elution, is just "rubbish". i wont buy jamaican blue mountain and brew it for 3 days, the most i'll pull is a cuppa.
Do you mean less cha qi? If yes, it's probably true for many of them but i've experienced very brutal and narcotic yibang, with shorter stimulation thoughLess stimulation but very clean.
This one by far is the least of that.fdrx wrote:Do you mean less cha qi? If yes, it's probably true for many of them but i've experienced very brutal and narcotic yibang, with shorter stimulation thoughLess stimulation but very clean.
