Threadly question:

You're learning Chinese, right? You do want to go to the famous Fujian Anxi open tea market in 2024 for the freshest teas?

That's rough. There's something kindof sleezy about the guys who try really hard to orchestrate keyboard community.

Do these blooming tea balls actually taste good or are they just meant to look pretty in glassware?

look pretty from what i've heard. you might get something good but not worth the price if you want tea that has a nice taste

Here is what Urban Dictionary has to say. 

Lesbian tea:

any tea that isn't tea, especially fruit infusions eg raspberry nettle and sukebind tea, also known as differently-oriented tea



Would you like a cup of tea? I've got monkeys' or lesbian tea.

Do they tell you what year that green tea was picked in? That's my only concern with random shops. You don't want last years or even older green tea, it gets stale.

How strong are the "flavor notes" of puer cakes? I see reviews say stuff like "tastes like graham crackers!" I'm skeptical.

It's hard to answer accurately given how subjective the experience is. Some notes such as astringency or vegetal are more pronounced. Others are more subtle. Some are really more like abstractions or metaphors in describing the experience of the tea.

When you drink a wide variety of puerh, you will eventually be able to filter out common denominators and be able to focus on the others notes in your cup. Then they can harmonize as you bring it all together. Just drink lots of tea and be attentive to what you're experiencing.
