Thanks for that - sounds disgusting. Don't know how anyone serious about
tea (which I presume you are or you wouldn't be posting here) could
contemplate drinking this evil brew. Stick to cheap teabags and leave the
good stuff to those who can appreciate it.

Thank you. I regret what you Daddy did to you. Whatever it was, I hope you
will recover some day and learn civilized talk.

Sasha.

Sasha,

While howlerman put it rather strong, I have to agree with the content, if
not the tone, of his statement: I can't imagine leaves sitting around for
such a long time and then brewing a decent cup of tea, with exceptions such
as Pu-erh. It has also been said that the leaves of a properly prepared
gung-fu set up of Phoenix Dan Congs can be left in the pot until the
following day. Did you mean to suggest that, for example, a Long Jin, Bi Lo
Chun, or Sencha could be handled thus? In addition, you mentioned having
several pots of drying leaves in each of several pots waiting for hot water.
This doesn't sound like the work of the professional I know you to be. But,
more important, different strokes for different folks is the operable
attitude here. So...sorry to have intruded on your conversation.
