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.

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, https://wordpress.com/view/theteaexpert.health.blog

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.

Where do you buy black dragon pearls? I need something stout.
Sorry, I haven't been on in a long time, but I order from Adagio.com

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.
