I recall a long time ago in a galaxy far far away when I was into wine. This one retailer I frequented had an old gentlemen. He never used any descriptors apart from "good" and "nah." I understand the inability to provide flowery descriptors. I have been drinking tea long enough that the "good" or "nah" descriptors from a trusted taster is all that's really needed.
it's fun sometimes to not have any idea what something will taste like other than "good."
Totally... thank you for understanding!
I love the different wrappers for the cakes! It really brings attention to each and every cake.
It's been really exciting to be able to do that. So many great artists and teas! ;-)
I love the wrappers! I appreciate the work you guys have put into your tea business. This year has been hard and I can only imagine the problems you are dealing with. Thanks for sourcing great tea as always!
Glad you like em! It's been a rough year, but I think that goes for most people too. Hope it hasn't been too crap of a year for you.
Sounds like a very good tea 🙏 Thanks for the great vid.
Loved this video. Enjoyed the calligraphy and pictures. And the wrapper is so awesome. Great to see you guys post so often lately! Happy Steeping to you Xiao Yao, and Queen Lucy!
More to come!
Probably i will have to order the entire 2020 lineup. RIP my wallet.
i wish i *had* a wallet
Yeah no shit, 2020 is the year my wallet caught on fire and I just threw it in a ditch.
Dude, money is meant to be spent, that's what it's for. And tea is meant to be drunk.
The dimply paper you are referring to is indeed very nice for storage. Also, I was yawning with you! Had a tiresome weekend, currently enjoying a cup of your 2014 Man Tang Hong 3 Ripe. Definately interested in this raw cake too, I'll have a sample with my next order for sure!
Yes, it's lovely thick paper. Hang in there and get some tea in ya!
Woa , man tong #3 , is one of the best ripe tea in history !
Silver teapots definitely make a difference. I'd gotten out of the habit of using mine, but recently I've been using it with a tea I know inside and out and the difference is nothing short of staggering. It's not just in my head, either. The tea soup that comes out of my silver pot is super, super smooth. And with this one tea, I had to double check that I was brewing the right tea. This is coming from someone who is viciously anti-confirmation bias, too!
Yup... it's a dramatically different experience with silver.
man now i want to try silver
are you talking like, real sterling silver, or some metal or alloy?
@@jimmyhsp Not Sterling, which is an alloy (.925 silver). I'm sure that's ok for an afternoon tea service, but in this case you want .999 silver, so almost 100% pure.
Hi Scott!
When are the 100-120ml silver teapots expected to arrive? Everything is sold ((
@@sockbert oh boy, guess i'm not going to be drinking out of silver any time soon
"Tea is real." - Scott 2020 😋
Still buying Bitcoin (and gold, silver, and tea nowadays). Bitcoin is as real as math, or euclidean geometry. But compared to tea, yeah, it's hard to drink Bitcoin.
Sounds like you are prepared for every eventuality! Tea is so very real! I am hoarding it and I'll leave some decoy silver coins near my LBZ tongs and hope the thieves are happy with taking the silver coins!
What a nice coincidence. I happened to be drinking another Lincang raw puer while watching this video (the 2003 Feng Qing Jia Ji Er), which whet my appetite for a sample of this stuff indeed!
That's a nice one. I need to try again soon!
Get an extension cord for your kettle😂
Extension cord + rambunctious Doberman + boiling hot water = catastrophe!
@@Yunnansourcing I see
You don't see many videos with 100 likes and zero dislikes! Hey, what's the size of that silver teapot you're using?
It's 120ml. Mountains and Water Silver Teapot.
can i order just that paper?
Nope, sorry. Only comes with the cake.
@@Yunnansourcing ah i meant paper that's thick and dimply like that, not the tea wrapper. do you know what it's called exactly?
