Very nice episode! Interesting to hear a bit about different setups, drinking habits and attitudes towards tea. That Qizhong proved a great talking point, too. I’m a big fan, but having drunk through a quarter of a cake I’m still not quite sure what to expect from session to session. The bastard just won’t stand still.
Uplifting to hear that it still gets Garrett a bit bent after he’s apparently been mainlining the stuff for three months.
Thanks Unkle Bob. It was quite interesting for me too. I’ve slowly drank up maybe half a cake over nearly 2 years. I agree with the variability, for me it can still take some getting used to. I’ve found that its counterpart, the Lingya is a bit more consistent session to session.
