                            I've always wondered how a cake works... I'm intruiged...

                            Anyhow... It's summer... It's been fucking HOT (up to 38C°), so I decided against buying expensive tea... Just cheap shit to drink at work and whilst hiking...

                              it's overall pretty simple
                              gently pry off the tea leaves trying to minimize breakage. weigh out how much needed and then wrap up the rest of the cake for later.

                                That is pretty straight forward! For some reason I had envisioned it being slightly more complicated.

                                First order of business for September: buy a bloody pu'erh cake!

                                  I'd recommend buying a high quality Fukamushi and using the cold brew method. It'll change your summer life <3.

                                      That looks tasty ad! I really need to dive into Chinese teas.

                                        I'm am fucking on this! I usually try not to "waste" expensive tea by drinking them cold (as I almost always do)...
                                        How long d'you usually let it seep lad? For cold brew coffee I do 18-24 hours. Might not appy to tea though...

                                          @RobeOfTheMagi it's been a fun journey and ive been finding a lot of my preconceived ideas around what teas taste like for things like oolong, black, and white teas are not really representative of what they really are thanks to prepackaged, lower-grade, conveniently packaged versions. (i.e. tea bags)

                                          Mostly I've found that I REALLY like white tea, that oolong is ultra diverse and not just "smoky tea", and that black tea doesnt mean Lipton or Lyons or whatever. Puerh has been quite the rabbit hole as well and love how much diversity there is.
