Yes always buy more than a tong , go for 10 cakes, drink one young , save the other two and break up as maocha , but keep the tong in tact for long term aging, best advice!!!

My first clay teapot, a kettle and stove, a variety of oolongs all on the way from global tea hut and I somehow manage to forget to pick out a cake of pu. How could I forget!

@sluggo562 2 года назад

And here I've been drinking pu all year and haven't broken past department store oolongs. Would you care to recommend a favourite?

@marcustulliuscicero2676 Год назад

@@sluggo562 ooh, I hope you discovered the whole new world of oolongs for yourself by now! But in case you haven't, look into high mountain Taiwanese oolongs on one hand (Alishan, Lishan, ShanLiXin, Dayuling, etc.), and then try some roasted Wuyi rock oolongs, and some Dan Cong oolongs. Do get them from well-curated stores. Oolong is the most varied type of tea, ranging widely in oxidation, roasting levels, processing methods, terroir, and flavor profiles.

Would you recommend the same for shu pu erh?

@lindabell6293 Месяц назад

Thank you very much for Pu'erh support. My 2021 cake has a 2025 expiration date. What have they done to it?

@globalteahut Месяц назад

not sure. Puerh tea cannot expire

Where can i buy the clay purple sand clay to make the tea pot and tea jar?

@globalteahut 4 года назад

We have a couple pots on our site! No jars, though; they are hard to ship without breaking.

@gregfellman8622 4 года назад

Are these suggestions equally true for Dian Hong cakes or are there different guidelines? Thank you!

@globalteahut 4 года назад

Yes, mostly the same.

I never imagined that I’d find this so interesting. You’ve suggested Zen books, how about tea books?

I would never break bits off a cake unless a quick sample Breaking a whole cake and letting that rest as maocha is the only way to go , cake storage for long term , maocha storage for drinking

@globalteahut 9 месяцев назад

good advice. Technically, a broken cake is not "maocha," which is "unfinished/rough tea." Once it is pressed and reaches our home, it is not "maocha" per se. But that is just nitpicking terms for pedantic edification. In general, we fully agree!

@knyghtryder3599 9 месяцев назад

@@globalteahut true , but I see more overlap between true maocha and broken cakes , they age and drink more similarly, both I would say age/drink better for immediate consumption Loose tea ages faster , but doesn't get as rich, it's like looking at a tea through warp speed , but I guess this is only true if your home is super humid 🥵

@TheHeraldOfChange 3 года назад

Interesting. Here's a thought, I have a an anniversary bingcha that I sample once a year. Clearly I do not want to break it up completely, so how do I store it so that it will age well and still sample well each year? Store with oxygen scrubbers and desiccant in a sealed container? Pull a piece and store in a gar, one month before drinking it? Thoughts? Opinions, Advice? a 375g cha bing, drunk at 5g per year, will give 75 sessions. That'd need some epic storage and handling conditions.

@globalteahut 3 года назад

If you have just the one cake, you may just want to wrap it up good and leave it whole, breaking off your session each year. 5 grams seems small, but maybe you use a small pot :) You could also experiment and break off two sessions next time your anniversary comes up, drink the one and leave the other in a jar and wait a year to try the jar one :)

@globalteahut 3 года назад

@@TheHeraldOfChange There is no wrong way, especially if you are enjoying it! Depends on the size of your pot and how strong you like your tea. If that is working for you and tastes nice, it is fine indeed. Also, using less tea is great as it will last longer!

How do you know how old your tea is. Where is a good place to purchase on OC Calif

@globalteahut 3 года назад

You can use the wrapper and neifei if it is a cake. If it is loose leaf, there is no way other than to drink lots of such teas as well as cakes with accurate vintages and then map the loose leaf tea in question experientially....
