Unlike my first purchase, this one has an expiration date. I don't remember what it is, but I know I got time.
Pic is my first purchase. No dates. I threw it all out. Wife didn't like the smell. (Actually I still have the pu ehr, it might just need to age, IDK, on noob.) Previous pic was different store (s) in better neighborhood.

It was okay. I didn't initially come here to get into tea. I was just looking to replace my kettle but I got sucked in.
I'm trying to get off energy drinks and get my wife to drink less coffee.
The reason I'm bummed is that the green tea was the most expensive. I tried brewing it a couple of different ways, but it didn't really do it for me. I'll probably just make it into iced tea and drink it at work. No big deal.
Right now I'm thinking about borosilicate glass. I got a kettle on the way, and if I get some double walled cups and a gaiwan or whatever I can try to do it more traditional instead of using the crappy ball infuser I have. I've watched the videos and people have the tray and the extra water containers, but I feel that's redundant. If I got a kettle, a gaiwan, and a cup or two that's all I need. The rest of the shit is traditional but it doesn't look like you really need it.
The glass means I can see the leaves and that sounds like it would be helpful.

Okay, after being frustrated by Amazon I did the next logical thing. I went to the sus asian grocery store and bought shit. How did I do?

Also, I only have a ball infuser. I got no way to do the proper gong fu thing. Sold I order something online and wait or just try the pu er with my ball infuser?
