So this is what it feels like to realize that a pu'er you got when it was 10 years old is now 18 years old because you completely forgot that it existed!
I'd finally run out of a very young compressed tea (jammed into a bamboo tube) and went to my basket for a white tea cake only to realize I had *another* cake of a large-leaf Yunnan tea buried at the bottom of the stack that had been sitting there for 8 years quietly aging.

Today I broke up the last of a xiaguan iron cake. I'm not sure how to approach the rest of my puer stash because I don't know the future of Chinese tea availability. I'm going to start mixing some local Asian grocery store oolong and green tea finds into my rotation. Can folks recommend any labels to look out for? I will ofc share my own discoveries, too.

I used to just be a tea-drinker, earl grey, daily, because if it was good enough for my favorite captain, it was good enough for me. Then I got into yerba-maté because a company I worked for partnered with *that* company, and I always end up trying to get to the DIY or trad version of any vice I take on. And then I tried to make coffee for my Starbucks loving ex, but I wasn't able to woo her away from the union-busters, and got myself into coffee instead. Now I'm dabbling with #puer, #oolong, #sencha, and other blitz-brew or #GongFu style teas. I feel like I've got all of my major cultural caffeine bases more or less covered, and all of them work well for me for different vibes.
