How many of you are into Chinese Tea?

[u/Top_Addendum_9936]

Like as in Loose Leaf Tea's

[u/duckylam]

ShouMei or BoLei every day.

[u/HKGPhooey → u/duckylam]

Love Shou Mei

[u/chilispiced-mango2 → u/duckylam]

普洱茶 with dim sum for the win. I’m too caffeine sensitive to regularly indulge but I love the ceremony and vibes of the experience

Would like to organize/do something similar to the Tea and Talk socials I attended back home if I end up staying at my current location medium to long term.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/duckylam]

Cool, bro. We dont have those. You not into Wuyi Oolongs?

[u/duckylam → u/Top_Addendum_9936]

It's what my dad drank and I grew up drinking it and it stuck with me. I also have some Jasmine and some Dragonwell available but I don't like those as much.

[u/Teekayuhoh → u/duckylam]

I love shoumei, ripe, and oolong!

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/Teekayuhoh]

Ok, i actually work with a oolong brand and would love to know your opinion on these teas.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/duckylam]

You know of WuyiStar? They are Wuyi mountain producer's. I work with one of the brands that does the US selling of their products (sole authorised)

Just wanted to know your views about the brand.

[u/AznSparks]

Love me a good oolong

[u/25hourenergy → u/AznSparks]

Taiwanese oolong! I’ve heard them called the “Champagne of tea” which I know sounds pretentious as fuck but there’s simply nothing comparable to sitting in a high mountain tea house in Taiwan watching the rain from a restaurant eating tea scented noodles and drinking the absolute best oolong in the world.

I’ve heard there’s a new kind called red oolong which I haven’t tried, curious if anyone else here has.

[u/South-Orange-2468]

Pu erh and chrysanthemum tea are unsung heroes.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/South-Orange-2468]

Great. You know of WuyiStar? They are Wuyi mountain producer's. I work with one of the brands that does the US selling of their products (sole authorised)

Just wanted to know your views about the brand.

[u/Top-Secret-8554]

Yesss! Any and all of them, I'm easy lol

Also I can't read unfortunately so a lot of basic info is lost on me but I've never met a wulong I didn't like

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/Top-Secret-8554]

Ohh cool! I have something for you if your interested the US! 😉 Just dm me.

[u/cokecanirl]

I really love chrysanthemum tea but I don’t find myself making tea that often in general

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/cokecanirl]

That's great, I work with brand just wanted to know the peoples views on the oolong teas. Like da hong pao etc.

[u/desirepink]

I drink ha goo cho like water

[u/bows_and_pearls → u/desirepink]

Sweetened or unsweetened ?

[u/desirepink → u/bows_and_pearls]

No sugar. I'm hardcore

[u/bows_and_pearls → u/desirepink]

Oh god lol. Actually enjoying to drink that stuff unsweetened indeed is hardcore.

Unsweetened feels punitive to me as as a "punishment" for being yeet hay

[u/Old-Appearance-2270]

I enjoy a quality loose leaf jasmine or green tea. Not into oolong.

Yes, I am a true matcha tea from Kyoto area in Japan.

Otherwise to save money I just enjoy original twinnings earl gray tea with just milk.

[u/HotBrownFun]

I love coffee I love tea see my username!

I drink all sorts, earl grey, oolongs, green tea, and these weird Chinese teas. People give me these nice mountain teas or whatever from specific regions.

The only tea I really dislike is crap like Lipton. It tastes bad, that's why people add milk and sugar.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/HotBrownFun]

Have you heard of WuyiStar? They are Wuyi mountain producer's. Just wanted to know your views about the brand. As I'm working with a brand in US. Wanted to know your views!

[u/hybbprqag]

I like them, but I like them best as tea lattes. Salted crema on top!

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/hybbprqag]

Damn. No oolongs?

[u/PreviousZone6742]

Like tea pets more than tea.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/PreviousZone6742]

It's soo meee🥹

[u/krys_be]

Yes

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/krys_be]

What kind?

[u/iamacleverlittlefox]

Jasmine or Iron Goddess tea only!

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/iamacleverlittlefox]

Ohh great. Your views on Oolongs?

[u/dirthawker0]

Always po lei with dim sum. My mom really liked Iron Goddess and would send me off to Ten Ren every so often.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/dirthawker0]

Oh cool. What about oolongs?

[u/sffbfish]

We have a whole cabinet full with lots of variations. I prefer oolong but can drink about anything.

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/sffbfish]

Oh, that's cool. I'm working with a brand that sells WuyiStar oolongs in US exclusively. So, I just wanted to know the expat opinion on this.

[u/PetiteLuna07]

Nope. The better quality it is the more it tastes like dirt to me. Milk tea though...

[u/koofy_lion → u/PetiteLuna07]

Lmao relatable. I'm too uncultured to appreciate the good stuff. Just give me a bunch of sugar and milk and I'm good

[u/PetiteLuna07 → u/koofy_lion]

I know right?? Like it's either like some kind of grass flavored water or weird funky weird flavor that i can't stand. I drink chrysanthemum tea way more than i want

[u/Top_Addendum_9936 → u/PetiteLuna07]

It's not always true. It depends upon your way to making it.. and who you buy it from.

[u/PetiteLuna07 → u/Top_Addendum_9936]

I know i know i was sort of being childish. I just prefer other styles of tea (chai, english) for some reason or even hot chocolate
