I agree with you there. I've turned a few coffie drinkers with the mini-bricks.omegapd wrote:That's all I buy and I love it. Pu-erh Shop's little mini-bricks and their loose leaf Golden Sail are two of my favorites for shu.Victoria wrote:stay away from the cheap stuff.

Fishy? No. Too much lapsang. I think that even one solitary leaf of LS would have overpowered the shu with smoke flavoring.Bubba_tea wrote:Mmmm mmm mmmmm mmm mmmm... Smoked Salmon tea - yummy! Was it a fishy cup? You would think that tea smoked salmon might be a little more palatable...Ti wrote:I tried to make smoked salmon tea using that lousy pu and some lapsang souchong but it didn't work out to hot.

Wow, this may be the first time ed and I are in complete agreement.edkrueger wrote:I come to the defense of the Rishi one. Its a lot better than many, or maybe most of the commonly available ones. Its beats adagio pu-erh, ten tea loose shu, the ubiquitous ancient maiden and many others. That said, I would not drink it unless I ran out of real shu.
My worst came from Republic of Tea.

It would be easier to list _good_ shu, the list is much smaller.

I don't know much about puerh. But after reading above posts, I've got really worried. I have just got a bunch of mini sheng and shu. Never had mini's before. Will mini sheng be bad as well? I have to wait till weekend to try them out since I can't have tea after late afternoon.
The worst shu, emm... in many Dim Sum places they serve shu and I suppose it should be one of the worst - not because I dislike it - I like to go along with dim sum dishes anyway. But since they give it for free, endlessly, it must be a cheapest kind.
