No.

Unless you're doing it wrong by like.. adding sugar or something.

Time for another cup, I had 2 large heaped teaspoons of Gyokuro this morning, now I'll have some China Jasmine.

I am a big chai fan, UK based, and I'm always on the lookout for a good blend. Tick Tock used to make a delicious vanilla chai rooibos and clipper still make a lovely chai blend.

I wonder if anyone has good recommendations, from any source, either tea bag or loose leaf?

A cup of tea and a net cup with used leaves next to it Smells leafy. Almost not bitter at all, sliiightly sour. Overall pretty balanced.I don't have much experience at describing tea but I can tell I like this one :)

I've heard that Raw (sheng) pu-erh, green and sometimes oolong teas are good for hot weather.

Is it true?

Do you have any recommendations or preferences on that?

A bit lighter in taste this time. Still a lovely steep of a good quality oolong.

What's the last oolong your tried? Or are you planning on trying one someday?

When I drink yerba mate I often spill it accidentally because I hit the bombilla. Are there any spill proof options out there?

I left the world of tea years ago and recently was indoctrinated by the amazing taste and health benefits of Oolong.

As titled - what is your preferred brew or steep method?

What do you drink the most? Hot or cold?

I drink a lot of oolong and pu-erh teas brewing gong-fu style and I have yet to try coldbrew c:

This tea is very unique - it's a 2005 Shu Pu-Erh tea, but with a twist! It tastes like fried Shrimp, and don't get me wrong - it's delicious.

Shan Lin Xi bug bitten and charcoal roasted oolong in the cup. What's in yours?

Please don't feel intimidated by me doing gong fu :) It's just a preference, not a must.
