A life lesson, a meditation session, wow!

It's a good day whenever Don uploads a video

[@labzee7855]

I love that its such an applicable idea even though it came about from a conversation about tea. Very interesting

[@stevenwalker2634]

One of your best videos. Informative, provocative and an exciting introduction to an unusual tea. Aesthetics is an important dimension to my tea enjoyment experience. Your expansion on aesthetics of tea enjoyment by explaining hedonic complexity increases my ability to understand my experience as I enjoy the gustatory pleasure of tea.

Hey don is the same reason why you shy away from the standard fu bricks with all of the spores? Lacking hedonic complexity because of the overwhelming taste of the spores? I believe your theory about drinking the same tea being more complex as you experience it. It might go hand in hand as the brewer getting to know the tea and just how sensitive it is to heat and it tells you how delicate it is, the energy of the tea is in direct correlation to the care and attention the brewer gives. I love the music analogy of being able to fine tune the equalizer for your tea like you say in your masterclasses. Amazing videos Don!

It actually took me a few months to get into tea in the first place, but I just kept going back and going through samplers and eventually a couple stuck.

I know this is off topic but I would love a video concerning avoiding/removing tea stains, both from porcelain teaware and from our teeth. I love tea and like you, I drink copious amounts throughout the week. But the staining on my teeth is becoming an annoyance! Do you have any tips or tricks for avoiding/removing/reducing that consequence of our habit? Love your videos, thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge with the rest of us!

Avoid drinking dark teas too often (shou,heicha,black tea etc). Green tea,younger sheng,oolongs should all be fine to drink daily without much staining risk. Of course they all will contribute to staining to some degree. I would make sure to wait an hour after you've last drank it and brush your teeth or use mouthwash.

[@bugbean5500]

There's toothbrushes with 20000 bristles which are cleaning so well that my dentist asked me if I have given up tea. No stained teeth anymore and I only use this toothbrush one to two times a week instead of the normal one.

[@samneibauer4241]

Baking soda works for cleaning stains off of teaware and teeth. Just add some to your toothbrush and toothpaste for your teeth and rub on your wet teaware to clean it.

Hello 👋 please make a new jarr tour on the new facility 😊😊😊😊

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

[@andrewshippy6623]

Can't wait to taste this snowflake dancong. I had one years ago that smelled amazing and had almost no taste other than "tea"

[@MeiLeaf]

Yes that is very much the standard experience.

[@Super_Natural_Spectrum]

Why is it called duck shit

[@FaceEatingOwl]

Legend is a farmer named it that to keep his neighbours from knowing how nice it was and stealing the trees.

[@theweewheels9865]

@FaceEatingOwl ironically that backfired as then more people wanted to try it due to its popular name

[@dmanzawsome]

I have an aged puer I like and when I get a tea that's not super complex but it's still decent I tend to put a bit of my aged puer in it and I enjoy it a bit more.
