I’ve withdrawn from social media, for now at least. But if you want to contact me, my email address is in my profile.

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…

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.

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!

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.🙃

It turns out there’s a Darjelling Hotel in Bangkok and a Darjelling model Swatch watch, but nothing tea-related pops up in a web search. I was hoping Darjelling was to Indian tea what shanzhai is to Chinese electronics.

Use of hand held shears for collecting the leaf. Days of plucking 2-leaf and bud over!

The name Menghai means “fierce sea (or lake)” in Chinese, but the town is far from any big body of water: babelcarp.org/babelcarp/babe… The name isn’t Chinese, anyway. More importantly, Menghai is arguably the center of the puer universe.

I was planning to enter the Overloaded Gaiwan contest, but then a friend visiting Menghai sent me this photo.

You want transparency in tea marketing? There’s a long way to go: teaepicure.com/tea-transpare… /ht @teaformeplease

Transparency in Tea: A Manifesto · Tea Epicure

A systemic lack of transparency in specialty tea is holding the industry back from seeing similar growth seen in the connoisseur-led wine industry.
