ParticipantI sensed that people in Hong Kong as a whole has a distinct individuality from China, and very different from Guangdong, where I stayed for a week. The city feels very different, even for the very brief stay I had. Mm goi sai! (That means thank you in Hong Kong ) 😉

ParticipantI have to say thank you to everyone in Tea Guradian. You’ve opened the world of tea to me and now I really don’t need Tazo or Teavana for tea!

ParticipantHappy Chinese New Year to you too! Feels good to say it again now in February 😉

ParticipantI think it’s gunpowder green tea. Those little dark green little beads that expand into tealeaves.

ParticipantBetween white and green, I’d choose white. White Peony Classic Long is my favorite. However, I think the tea I drink the most now is classic Puer!

ParticipantI want to share with you all that Pu’er is a very special tea. It can be so dark that I have never, never known a tea like that. It can still be quite smooth when it is very dark. That is why I think it is so wonderful.
There is a one thing that Leo wrote about but I had not paid attention to: the portion of tea closer to the bottom of the pot is stronger. Now this is not so obvious with other tea varieties, but it is so dramatic in Pu’er! It took me a while before I could figure out to use another pot to hold the tea first to even out the strength before pouring into the cups. Please if you are using Pu’er, don’t forget to do that. This can make a big difference in the taste!sa11
ParticipantThank you Leo. I think I’ll explore your shop to get one of the pu’ers.

ParticipantI read in a tea site that puerh (puer? the same?) has less caffeine. Is that true?

ParticipantCharcoal ring and diamond barbecue!
I like that saying! Thank you for explaining a much worried question that have been in the back of my mind in such a humorous way. sa11
ParticipantThe shop looks so very nice! I have not decided which tea to try yet!
