Hello! I really like oriental beauty oolong tea from taiwan, so I was researching about but bitten teas in Taiwan and found out that in Guangdong there is another bug bitten tea called Zijin Chancha (Zijin cicada tea), that seems to have discovered the changes in bug bitten tea leaves somewhat independently from Taiwanese farmers.

I was wondering if anybody here has tried Zijin chancha before? And how it differs/is similar to Taiwanese oriental beauty?

Hello! I’ve recently got back from a trip to China and brought some sheng and shou puer as well as some yunnan white peony mini tea cakes. I was wondering what brand or source of water you use or think is best to use to brew sheng, shou, and yunnan white tea?

I’m asking since the city I live in doesn’t have clean tap water, and local spring water tends to be too hard as well so I wonder what bottled water/filters you use?
