If you brew multiple steeps of a tea, you need to think about temperature control as the leaves take up water. And not all teas are alike. I have evidence: babelcarp.org/babelcarp/abso…

@TeaMastersBlog @white2tea Feiyang wasn’t asking *farmers* to wait 2 years. He put the onus on factories. I don’t endorse everything he says, but he put his money where his mouth is. (I may have missed something here—I think @white2tea deleted a tweet before I could see it.)

I’m briefly emerging from Twitter retirement to tell you my friend Laszlo at @teacup_media is starting up his own Tea History Podcast: overcast.fm/+uPr2vEv1k I’m sure it’ll be great, just like the now decade-old China History Podcast.

They don’t exactly say this tea is Darjeeling, so I guess it isn’t mislabeled, and it sure is inexpensive. Still, I wonder where this Darjelling place is.🙃

My old tea friend who’s visiting southern Yunnan just sent me a short video of a local woman roasting kaocha over an open fire: babelcarp.org/babelcarp/babe… But she’s using a Japanese kyusu!

@HackingChinese Leaving aside the phonetic accuracy of the syllables used, there’s a number of character choices available for each syllable. In most cases, they seem to choose a flattering one. That’s what intrigues me.
