Hello!
I’m steeping a Ceylon OP from the shawlands estate right now. I’m doing one with a tea ball, one with an ingested gaiwan, and one with a heated gaiwan. I wanna see if the three different sterling’s all have a slightly different flavor or feel to them.
I remember I got a Ceylon from the Vithanakande estate a while back and it’s been my favorite tea by far, but I just haven’t bought any recently. I can’t wait to get some more soon.

Though good nothing stands out at all for me...everything I find in this tea I can find better in a decent keemun with much less leaf ie. jing tea shop everyday organic keemun beats this hands down for me and its much cheaper and more complex here (the yuuki does have a decent sweet aftertaste though and good about not getting bitter with long steeps)
I imagine their handpicked blacks are still worth a try, look pretty tasty

Thanks! The pot was from Ipoh Malaysia, in a tea shop that specialises in Liu Bao! Simple entry pot that works quite well with shu cha at least for me! And the tea pet was from a tea shop with a few branches in Malaysia called Legend of Tea.

Red Tea Detox. I'm all about losing weight these days. I'm seeing some slight results from two weeks ago when I started. Found out about it on this theteaexpert article,

I am a lover of teas from India and China. I just found a new brand of tea called "lowsugardrinks". I bought their products and it has this natural taste and no sugar added.

I will never forget the taste of Darjeeling black tea which I have tried in India a couple of years ago.

Zairai Gokase Black, a Japanese black tea which, just like the Japanese greens, has a very unique taste spectrum. It is somewhat dark and astringent, with a soft bitterness.
