I like oolong and gunpowder tea, etc. black teas and medium black teas. Green tea tastes too much like lawn mower for me

one of my things with tea is I’m really bad at timing when it will be ready, so I tend to just leave the teaball in the cup. green tea gets astringent really quickly, black and oolong less so, but puer stays smooth no matter how long I steep it. I like puer

I brew the tea in a pot or kettle on the stove and then put it into a ceramic teapot through a drink strainer to store it for serving. Keeps it warm and doesn't over extract it..works4me

Ill have to ask about basket-aged. i know you love vital tea leaf and all, but imo they're better for greens and oolongs and such. i just ordered a basket of [this](https://yunnansourcing.us/products/2001-basket-aged-ripe-pu-erh-tea-from-yi-wu?_pos=1&_sid=8ba17c9ae&_ss=r&variant=42984069038313) and i must say i recommend it i will say that i don't love prying puerh apart, so the fact that it's loose is a plus for me. not an overriding one (it also is really really good, better than cake puerh i've had) but if you love to stab tea maybe it's not your speed

when i make a pot of puerh, i do the first steep for 2-3 minutes, the second for 5-7, and the third for like 15+. after that i might go for more, but usually the leaves are done by then i basically use those times for everything actually, not just puerh. maybe a little less on oolongs. i dont really drink green tea very often

lol hell yeah having a strong pot of 2001 basket aged puerh now. i got my basket of it in the mail, but haven't opened it yet. that's a whole lot of tea. i also ordered some hairy crab tea that i am excited to try (ive never had mao xie), some more king of duck poo poo, and a couple other varieties of duck poo poo tea owns. i still need to try da hong pao, gaoshan, and jin xuan

lapsang souchong is pretty common in china but they generally have little to no smoke flavor
