Thread: Tea anyone ??!!

I have an idea Don. Buy a clay pot big enough to hold your cake of tea!

Decided to start the day off right. Bacon, eggs, and biscuits (still in the oven for the picture)

That just seems, well, too simple. I'm kinda leaning toward the brown paper bag in the cupboard idea. Besides, it gave me a chance to piss and moan and post pictures. Probably more just a cry for attention than anything else. I'll keep my eyes peeled for pots though!

The photos it is on a plate that measures 8.5 inches, 21.59 centimeters. And, 400G feels more like 1 1/2 pounds to me, not 14.1 ounces. The good news is, it's supposed to get better with age!! But, I'm curious as to how/where to store it? I was thinking of keeping it wrapped in it's paper and in the plastic ziplock it came in, but leave the ziplock bag open to allow it to breathe. Then, in the cupboard with the canned goods and pasta. I have read about keeping it in clay jars or something like that, but I have nothing that size and don't want to bust it up to make it fit. Any suggestions???

You could call the Merchant and ask them ? Just a thought.

Hi Don,
I use the same rice bowl exactly when I have my meal.

Here's the easy answer to my Puerh storage question, straight from the source of the tea:

You asked about the storage of the puer tea in the message, actually, the way of storing the puer tea is simple, no need to wrap it in more paper, or put it in dry paper bag in with the canned goods, just keep it ventilated at ordinary temperatures, and keep away from peculiar smell, that is ok. Hope you enjoy your tea time and have a nice day:）

So, pretty much just keep it dry and away from my Wombat cage and it'll be just fine!!

Thanks Jan @ DragonTea.
