Puerh Paste - Glenn McKenna

„

the creation of Puerh Paste from within Yunan Province, China. basically, it's similar to making hash or hemp oil. they brew the tea, then continue to sift it through smaller and smaller sized hole mesh bags until the final mixture is a paste. seems to me if there's a direct way to go tea infusion, this might be it.

„Then there is the more nuanced problem of what to do with the samples. It’s quite easy to say that sampling widely will give you experience in tea drinking. In practice, however, that’s not so simple. Of course, trying all kinds of teas will most certainly give you experience. However, it is experience on a relatively shallow level. Certain kinds of teas, such as really bad or really good teas, will probably manifest themselves quite readily. Others, however, are not so obvious. It is actually easier to try teas if you, say, cup them, but then it becomes work and the process is not very enjoyable. This is, ultimately, a hobby, and not a job (for me anyway) so taking the fun away like that is basically missing the point.“
