Thank you for these conversations William. I deeply appreciate the fact that i am able to learn more about the complex world of tea through insights from people such as yourself.
This is tea philosophy. Like Socrates "I know that I don't know" so the more you know about tea the more you know you don't know about tea. This wisdom will keep you from building up any knowledge that ossifies into arrogant tea dogmatism. The truth about tea is in constant flux. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to share these ideas with us. There are several ideas here to mediate on. I especially love the analogy of the house being rebuilt each time with stronger materials.
great video! tea learning is about personal truths and is definitely something you can continue throughout your entire life. you learn more and more and are less comfortable with strict rules or specific truths as you go
I loved this video. This is something I've been really trying to do lately in terms of my tea journey, but yes, it is the same thing for almost all other pursuits of knowledge in life.
One of the factors I find very important is the way the tea leaves were processed. If one imagines that there were two years with similar weather conditions, the tea leaves steeped in the exact some way for both sets of leaves the two teas can try vastly different if there were different methods of processing the leaves of the two years. You guys are doing an excellent job in that aspect. 🤗
Hello William! Thanks for the Videos. Your insight is Great, and is much appreciated. I like a high pour because i do not like burning hot on the mouth. I find myself gravitating more toward mouth-feel than taste with Puerh. I just ordered my first ‘Silver’ Gaiwan for brewing and would like to have your opinion on Silver. I do know that clay improves mouthfeel (and Minerality) and i often Chouzhou(sic?) brew. Cheers
