Thank you for tea source recommendations. So Han especially at West China Tea is amazing for making people feel welcome and comfortable around tea. He also seems to focus more on small artisan farmers compared to some others so while his selection is not as crazy big as say Yunnan sourcing, it still has plenty of variety and some versions of tea that are unique to the farmer in China he sourced it from.

If we're talking new tea drinkers then I think the biggest thing they need is legitimate knowledge. Some people on this platform hype tea up to what it isn't. Tea is tea. Secondly, don't spend your life savings on a teapot. I'm still using an $80 repro clay pot and apart from some leaking it goes fine. Would a hand made clay pot be better? Yes. Is it severely impacting my experience? Nope. I think the biggest thing I found out with my last tea order is that harvest time matters. A spring harvest is considerably better than a winter harvest. Also year matters too. I think I had a 2013 dan cong and it reminded me of buttered popcorn but a 2014 does not taste like that.

@steepingwithfriendsКүн бұрын
Gongfu is brewing a larger amount of leaves than the water ratio would normally be but for a shorter time (10-30 seconds usually). This created a concentrated steep that maximizes flavor of the leaves. In herbal teas it’s not using tea leaves but herbs so the steeping time is different.
@TaoTeawareКүн бұрын
Yeah and the main thing with this higher concentration of leaves is repetitive brewing. If you do this with an herbal tea it will either taste bitter from over extracting it or not taste like much at all because the most significant portion of flavor has been extracted. Does that make sense? @sunshineannatx

Gaiwans are pretty cool, but the issue is that they apparently break all the time. *In Chinatown NYC -- they charge $10/gaiwan at discount ceramic stores, but $14/gaiwan at the specialty tea shops.
