Wow, very interesting! I usually brew my oolong in a 100ml gaiwan with about 8-12 grams of tea, and steep it for multiple infusions that can range from instant to about 20 seconds. Clearly we have very different approaches! I would love to learn why you brew your oolong this way. It seems like to me like you have a fusion of gongfu and western style tea, very cool!

I'm from Vancouver! Murchies is the best tea you can get in my opinion. The most famous tea is the no 10 blend which is a blend of 2 black and 2 green teas. Another good plain tea is the Queen Victoria. I dont remember the types of teas blended in that one. For rose teas I like the Princess blend. I think its just black tea with rose. For flavored tea the plain black tea with vanilla is amazing. Also yes the coffees are very good but I wouldnt get a flavored one. I think the one I really liked was called Murchies Best. My parents favorite is Mocha Java.

I am waiting for the tea box of fall to try this. I am trying Amoda this week and tried Magic Hour last month the Bohemian Breakfast and I am new with this loose leaf tea but have drink tea since I can remember. So a few months ago it was just Chamomile and Black tea depending of the hour but I noticed tea have been helping me with anxiety. And it all started with Bigelow night tea, sadly the tea was discontinued and their new version doesn’t taste like nothing. So that’s how my journey started.
