Mind taking a pic of the tea?

Probably some gunpowder tea

>>5184997
Yeah that's what I thought too, but I've never actually tried gunpowder so I couldn't be sure.

Last one

OP it's Oolong. I read the runes.

>>5185007

>>5185042
Interesting! Can you tell me what kind it is or where it's from?

>>5185048
No.

Just drink that shit already

I personally don't like dark teas because of its flavor

The only tea I drink is chrysanthemum tea

>>5185042
>>5185048

>>5185064
You're a fucking moron dude.

>use a tripcode
>insult posters and act like an annoying bitch

its like you are straight up asking me to filter you

>>5185099
I don't care what you do. It's Oolong though, don't be a piece of shit and lie.

>>5185107
Why should we believe you when you won't even bother to tell us the rest of the runes? We're just supposed to take your word for it?

Has this been posted before? It seems familiar.

Li Shan oolong tea, anyway.

some random not so bad quality chinese green tea ?

doesnt look japanese, thats usually rolled

>>5185002
I've only ever had one kind of gunpowder tea, but it was much neater looking. Like the balls were all the same size. But that looks like they maybe just used a different rolling method. Put one or two in hot water and see if it unfurls. Dunno if it's green or oolong, though, but isn't that a relatively arbitrary distinction anyway?

What does it smell like? Green teas smell sort of like fresh cut plant smell. Of course that goes out the window if there's any sort of flavoring with it, but it doesn't look like there's anything but tea in there.

I made some tea yesterday with it, it definitely unfurled while steeping (looked like I was cooking spinach or something), and it definitely had the fresh cut plant smell, and there was no other taste to it other than an edge of bitterness because I left it on the stove too long.

after dicking around with chinese character searchers, the gold text seems to place the tea from Taichung, Taiwan

What you have there is some 福壽梨山茶

That is either oolong or green tea.

>>5185267

Formosa tea (Taiwan) is awesome. They are particularly well known for their oolong and green teas. Of which the OP's tea is one of those.

>>5185007
That's for sure some oolong.

>>5185153
Yes. For googling, it's 梨山茶.

Someone who actually reads chinese here.

>>5184994
storage and preparation instructions. standard stuff

>>5184998
brief introduction of the tea. Basically it's grown at a very high altitude in extreme conditions which supposedly leads to interesting tastes.

Nowhere anywhere on this can this can say the words "oolong", so unless I missed it the guy who claimed he could read chinese was full of it.

This is, however, probably an oolong

This looks to be the company's FB page and this is the description of the tea. The characters "烏龍" are oolong if you want to ctrl-F to confirm

>>5184990
Green tea.
Sleeping dragon.
You can get it from adagio online.

>>5185054

Is that the stuff you get when you eat Dim Sum?

>>5185007

Oolong. It's Oolong for sure. Use filtered water, 80° Celsius and enjoy.

>>5185494

I second this. The Taiwanese sell really good Oolong.

>>5187053
That's usually Oolong, which is what OP's pic looks like.

>>5185002
Looks like an oolong
