>I don't think anyone has really said that his tea is shit. Most complaints are his over the top tasting notes, his prices and his "600 year old tree" puer cakes.
That is the impression I have always got as well. Their tea should be fine.

>Does anyone actually enjoy shaihong?
I do but I also like white teas... I don't drink them for the "fragrance" I just find them tasty. However, I do tend to leaf heavily.

>I see teaware I like on YS and search on aliexpress
It is always worth shopping around. If you got the patience you can often find a better deal on Chinese mass produced teaware.

Merry Christmas anons!

Tea scum is often a sign of hard water. Even hard water should not make a tea flavorless however.

>White teas are all shit. There I said it. I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
Hey, I like white teas...

>finally try out yerba mate ... tastes like absolute shit, the most bitter thing ever
Funnily enough, back in the day I used to drink mate because it seemed much less bitter to me than the western style black teas I had available at the time.

Sometimes I suspect coffee fanatics only talk about the coffee itself as a pretense to show off their gear. The closest tea equivalent is probably yixing pot collectors.

If you are trying to give advice to beginners you really avoid abbreviations, especially for more obscure stores like dragonteahouse.biz.

I a tried drinking silver needle white tea once and it turned me into a furry!
