Not the same taste no,least not to me. But I fully admit that I did not care for Pu-erh either, too fishy earthy for me. To each his own however. It's blacks and Oolongs for me.Quote:

I also got this Banzhang 2010 that I'm sticking straight into the chest for later
Even though I'm not a fan of Pu-er, I can still appreciate it . :)
I've been really busy the last couple of weeks; between training most weeknights and starting a Japanese course in much of my spare time, I've had little chance to post much since I came back from my weekend away, so I have a bunch of photos to post when I get a moment, sometime this weekend!
That matcha post I said I'd do needs to be done. I have a new teapot because I dropped and broke the lid of the little Banko Yaki that I use for sencha. I also have a bag of matcha-iri genmaicha and the old yuukimidori matcha (unopened).
Finally, after one month shipping from China, my Bamboo Brick just arrived.

I've been a little curious. After you guys get these big ol cakes of Pu-er , how do you store them after opening. Do you break'em up and stor in a canister ? Someone mentioned a tea chest . Might I see some pics on tea chests and tea storage ?
I mentioned a tea chest. I guess that is not really correct, I am storing my tea in an old chest. It was not made for the purpose. Mine measures some 15" x 30" by 12". I use it to store the tea after I buy it. It can stay in there for a long time, until I decide to drink it.

There's currently a bit over 15lb of tea in there. Err, perhaps that sounds like a lot, but some of it will be stored for years.
After I take the tea from the storage chest, I leave it out for a while to air out, then break it up and stick it in a caddy for consumption.
