Tea Quest: January 2012
http://puerhteaquest.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 27, 2012. So, the seeds are harder to germinate than lima beans. Research suggests cuttings are how most people get plants. If anyone in Madison, WI or the surrounding Central Wiscsonsin area wants to share cuttings, please let me know. If I acquire cuttings, I will post and be open for cutting distribution myself.

Tea Quest: August 2008
http://puerhteaquest.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. Bai Cha Tang 3rd Generation Iron Cake. The first smell of the beeng, and smell from my sniffer cup both heightened my anticipation for the brew to come. I was, genuinely amazed. The taste was, so smooth, rich and dense without astringency or bitterness. The aftertaste was quite happy, penetrating every available surface in my mouth and nose. The liquor consistently brews up a golden color, which can be obtained at least a dozen times when brewed gong fu stlye.

Tea Quest: When the Time is Right, is it Time?
http://puerhteaquest.blogspot.com/2009/03/potency.html
Monday, March 9, 2009. When the Time is Right, is it Time? Let you and your body decide. I also tested my kombucha with some pH paper. I have congo red pH paper which I found on eBay. It reads from 3-5 which is what the range of Kombucha tea should be around. The pH indicated it was around 4, as the paper was partially activated. Update: I bottled one jug, the white tea, at 12 days. The green tea I let go to two weeks, as it seemed to be fermenting slower. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tea Nerd: January 2010
http://www.teanerd.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Aged Oolong from Imperial Tea Court. Origin: Fujian, China. Vendor: Imperial Tea Court. Price: $6.00 (28g) / $21.25 (113g). This is not a bad tea. (What, expecting something more profound after a month and a half? The truth is, my taste buds are a wee bit rusty after such a long break from routine tea consumption, so I won't be waxing poetic 'bout none-a-those etherial hints of ambrosia this time. Modest price I can't complain. It also seems to give an above-average cha qi.

Tea Nerd: February 2011

Thursday, February 17, 2011. Shan Lin Xi (Light Roast), from the Tea Gallery. Origin: Nantou, Taiwan. Vendor: The Tea Gallery. Price: $35.00 (25g each of light and medium roast). There is a lingering, subtle, sweet aftertaste. The cha qi feels sedating but is thankfully not too heady, so there is no headache and only a bit of tea-drunkenness. Thursday, February 17, 2011.
