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

    Between 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!

    I 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!

    Thank you Leo. I think I’ll explore your shop to get one of the pu’ers.

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

    Charcoal 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.

    The shop looks so very nice! I have not decided which tea to try yet!

    There maybe over 20 tins or packs or different teas in my drawer. To me, it is great fun to pick any one of them whenever I prepare tea and find out something new about a tea variety (selection?) I have a mug with a large metal strainer, a porcelain teapot and recently a gaiwan for daily use. They all make different effects for the same tea!

    You do not need to go any more academic in your writings. There are already a lot of special names and usage of words to understand. I mean they are already very interesting to read.

    This is interesting but I am a little confused. So both black tea and oolong are fermented too not oxidized? This is different from the writings in your site. Is the residue safe to consume? Because I do not blanch my tea, I am a little concerned.
