Great video and comparison, i have always have a fascination towards Puer, but unfortunately due to insufficient funds and the small local puer market where i'm from, it has been hard to do comparisons like this.

All the tutorials out there only seem to cover raw pu erh tea

"Esse vídeo é uma verdadeira aula! A forma como o autor explica cada detalhe é simplesmente genial."

Do you have any further intentions to chronicle American/International potters’ work like Arturo’s or even to return and follow Arturo and his journey? I would love to see more videos like this on your channel, as well as enjoying your other content. I just find it so enchanting to see artists of this calibre at work. Thank you, Jeffrey.

More!

Super useful. Thanks!

Thanks for video and tips. Long time i was unable to open and enjoy proper taste of sheng as well as shu.. the Tea spirit itself can come occasionally and explain.. intuition plus blessings our best friends .😊

This is so helpful! I was considering replacing my gooseneck, and I wasn't sure if I should go for a regular kettle instead next time because I heard that goosenecks are better for coffee. My tastes likely aren't refined enough to require two kettles, though I'd love to get there someday.

Interesting 😉

I get it most from ripe and aged white tea. It's not consistent, and seems hit or miss (even within the same batches). I had a ripe the other day that was borderline sedating and it made me extremely hungry afterwards. I rarely eat in the mornings and I found myself snacking heavily after the session. I try not to seek out the cha qi and just let it happen when it does.

Really appreciate these tea videos. I'm a newbie to loose tea and puerh and the vids have been a god send for figuring it all out! Some of the other tea-tubers spend way too long explaining things but you do it in a decent format within a nice time frame. Concise and to the point. That could totally be my ADHD brain at work...lol

Fantastically detailed review mate, good on ya👌🏼

Great ! very detailed , thorough and precise - thanks!🙏🏿

My 2021 cake has a 2025 expiration date. What have they done to it?

I muscle test tea. The variables are too overwhelming so I ask my body to help me decide what will give it strength. It does. I love Pu-erh.

Great video, super informative. Thank you.

I have the Willow and Everett. It worked great until the plastic press-down tab, the on switch, snapped off. Does anyone know if I can replace the whole bottom portion of the teapot which contains the electrical parts and the switch? I unscrewed the bottom but can see no way to turn it on without the tab switch, like by inserting something to press on something to make that happen! Thanks in advance.

What do you do with larger cakes (357g)? Do you still break up the entire cake and keep it in one jar? Or do you break up the cake then have a 'secondary' storage jar seperate from the short-term jars? Appreciations 🌿

Yeahhhhh helped me understand to space out infusions to let the tea rest. Makes so much sense. It’s alive!

I actually put my glass gong dao bei in the dishwasher and it cleans it perfectly and no dish washer taste left especially if you rinse it in water. Dishwasher gets all the stains in all the knoocks and crannies!

Interesting discussion. I get very jittery and anxious if I drink too much coffee and restless due to caffeine. If I have a shen session I feel very relaxed and chilled. If I've been having panic attacks it settles my mind and body. Not sure about Cha qi but I sure find it relaxes me.

I have a couple of tea vendors that I buy from now that I have sampled their teas first before I ever consider buying a cake. Even though I trust their processes & I know they travel to China etc to purchase & oversee the pressing/shipping to some degree at least. They vary the source of their teas as well which I appreciate, not just buying because they had a good batch one year. It doesnt follow my logic that a tea producer can have outstanding teas all of the time, there are to many variables for me. Still I purchase a sample and buy if im happy with the quality of those teas. Yes it is alot more expensive, but that is a very acceptable trade off to me. Buying blind and without experience on heresay is definately not the way to go. Find a tea that you enjoy drinking I guess from a trusted source/vendor as far as possible.

Which type has the greater health benefits, please? I am currently drinking raw, which I really quite like, particularly with a small squeeze and slice of lemon.

Thank you for the video. What is the recommended average resting time between infusions for young sheng puerh?

I didnt enjoy raw Puerh until I purchases a solo Gaiwan and cup and learnt how to brew it . I think I had to get used to the flavours and sensations first. I always prefer it in a porcelain vessel. Now I enjoy it more than any other tea type.

Well done.

I like the astringency in sheng puerh that feels like it's gonna get too bitter, but ends up having a really nice juicy PUNCHiness... and the tea drunk feeling from those gushus is what I live for!!! I finally found a shou that i actually enjoy!

A chinese guy who prices \ accesses vintage chinese teaware told me to use baking soda and a little water to make a paste and clean unglazed clay teapots with that. Then you can boil the pot for an hour to reset it, but put a cloth under and around the pot to protect it while boiling.

I bought this tea about $7 for 100g Loose leaf, is it considered a high quality Loose leaf? Can I still use this method?

Fun fact, for those that find the STAGG pours just a bit too slow, If you look inside there is a little metal piece with holes covering the hole at the bottom of the spout, which further restricts flow. With a mallet and a flat sharp chisel or screwdriver it can be removed easily. It now pours SMOOTHER and just a bit Faster.

I used dish soap meant for baby bottles to wash teaware since i find them to have very mild scent. I'll definitely try those sponges!

Educational video ... and I no longer have desire to buy shēng Pu Erh tea. Too much work for a result that looks like water. I just want something better quality than the tea-dust in a Lipton bag.

Oh my. This is very interesting. I'll have to try a different type of tea cup for my ripes! I had been using smaller, narrower cups. Thanks for the video!

Thank you.

A lot of information to absorb. Thanks for the info.

No tea pets.!? Rip 😂

Terrific review - thanks very much!

So now what is the difference, if any, between the variety Assamica and Assam tea?

Your comment that it is a buyer beware product is so true. If it has that barnyard taste I pour hot water over it and let sit for about 15 seconds, then pour the water off. That seems to get rid of the harsh taste. I then fill the cup with more hot water. I do not know enough about which tea plantations or regions are which, the names of different companies etc. I buy it online so I am not able to taste it before buying. Like wine it is about what taste good to you, more expensive does not mean it will taste better.

Thanks for this video! Where did you get those jars? Any recommendations on where one could get those online? Thanks again.

I spent a few months comparing electric kettles, and then a few weeks deciding on color - the pink one won, then while I was waiting for it to get to me, I stressed that I should have gotten the black… well, I am happy with my decision. Such a beautiful and quality feeling kettle, and the pink isn’t as bright as I thought it would be. It’s a soft, neutral pink. Your video shows the color accurately. I love looking at it, I might just redecorate my entire kitchen around it! And, I made my first cup of green tea at the appropriate temp, it was awesome, not bitter like it usually is when I make it with regular boiled water.

As you said in the beginning, I also don't generally recommend books, but I often re-read. For self-help/financial books, I usually take notes and review the notes. Books I re-read would be the "Hagakure" by Tsunetomo, "The Prophet" by Gibran (and some of his other books), "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, "Neuromancer" by William Gibson (and some of his others), several stories by Edgar Allan Poe, "Zarathustra" by Nietzsche, the Sunzi and Laozi, and the Secret of the Golden Flower. Some others that I've only re-read once or twice, particularly Thoreau and Emerson.

Hey Jeffrey! You're going to be a Father, that's great. Congratulations!

I cannot find time to read the books I do have. Lol I did give away and purge my books years ago. But I like your concept of rereading and the reader being a different person the second time which changes the read. I like how you tie it into tea and keeping life’s things minimal so we can thoroughly enjoy what we do own with the time we have. I do drink up all my tea before I buy more.

Very helpful! Thank you sm, great video!!

Thank you for the advice! Wish I had one of those trays... I'm working with a regular cutting board and saving all the dust was a nightmare

I love the goose neck because the style and the way it pours…. When I pay for expensive things I love to enjoy it without the rush ❤
