I grow up in Fujian Province, China. So my favourite is Oolong Tea,
especially Anxi Oolong Tea. To tell the truth, almost I could not bear one day without tea, at home or in office. I also try many other teas (green, flower, white, black tea), step by step, I am also very used to the style and taste of Puer tea, even I like it. Sure, in this group, everyone like tea, but which is your favourite tea? Green tea, Oolong tea or puer tea? Why the tea attact you? What is your feelings? Could anyone here shar it? Enjoy tea, enjoy life. Thanks Lee Http://www.mrentea.com |

My favorite tea would have to be Longjing.
I drink Pu'er daily, and like you, I probably could not bear not being able to drink my tea. I am currently living in Guangdong province, so I'm close to Fangcun; easy to get good tea!! |

Hi Lee,
Well my favorite tea these days is red tea (specifically Assam variatals from Maylasia) but also I really love green tea right now, specifically kaihua long ding, huang shan mao feng, and bian cha. There are so many kinds of green tea that it is really an adventure. Tea enlivens me, and I don;t feel in as good a mood if I don't drink at least some every day. I like oolong but have noticed that it gives me a stomach ache, I am not sure why. I've just noticed it recently. I also like puer but don't drink it as often. I like puer better in the evening.

I moved to Taiwan about 6 years ago and was first exposed to Oolong tea
at that time. The first couple of times I tried it I wasn't impressed - very different from any tea I'd had before. But the taste has grown on me and I now really appreciate being able to have good quality oolong close at hand. I find tea to be very refreshing in the afternoon and evening but I still need my morning coffee... Ross MacIver http://www.teafromtaiwan.com/ Chinesetea wrote: I grow up in Fujian Province, China.

I like oolong but have noticed that it gives me a stomach ache, I am not
sure why. I've just noticed it recently. Wulong is relatively strong, especially the Taiwan teas like A Li Shan. Try eating some crackers or some cookies before drinking the tea, and it will probably help the pain. I also noticed that I would get a stomach ache occasionally, but it was only when I didn't have something on my stomach. |

"Chinesetea" wrote: Sure, in this group, everyone like tea, but which is your favourite tea? Green tea, Oolong tea or puer tea? Why the tea attact you? What is your feelings? While I love green tea, and drink it regularly, lately I've been focused on oolong, prepared gong-fu style. In the morning I'll make a small pot of green and place it on a holder over a small flame, sipping it while I read and answer email. In the afternoon while I'm practicing the piano, I'll drink oolong. In the evening after dinner I'll have more oolong, a different one. Tea keeps me centered and content. It has become part of my daily life, and I can't imagine a day without it. It is a source of comfort and pleasure. The river of tea is a wide one, and deep. We'll never run out of new ones to try....................p* |

Too interesting a topic to pass on!
My favorite teas are thick body black Assams. Growing up in a tea farming family in Assam has it's advantages : ) What I find here (in the US) is that most Assam lovers tend to only differentiate teas based on single estate. For us growers, we differentiate teas based on variety (or single malt - as we like to call it). Assamese tea varieties are cataloged by season and leaf size. My personal top three are the medium leaf (TGFOP) from the spring harvest (first flush), the smallest wholeleaf from summer harvest (second flush) if it's tippy, even better! and the largest whole leaf from the summer harvest (which we call Kama Black). I take my teas straight without any milk or sugar - 2.5 grams per 8 oz. of water - steeped 3 to 5 minutes. Tea keeps me alert and motivated. The two mugs of tea in the morning gets me ready for the day, whereas the after dinner mug of tea gets me ready for the night. I am a sucker for good Darjeelings too ...as a nightcap! |

Semi-fermented as Oolong tea it is, it still excites the stomach ache
if nothing in your stomach. So it's better not to drink too much green oolong tea when you are in limosis or getting up in the morning, I think its the same with green tea.But, for Oolong, I think if you drink baked oolong tea, on the contrary, it still could safeguard and warm up your stomach not matter you are hungry or getting up in the morning. (The baked Oolong tea is similiar as puer tea, the reason it is not so popular now is that people likes green colors (green leaf, light tea soup, with beautiful vision enjoyment which people think they are green food) and the "Yun" of Tie Guan Yin.So when you pay some attention to the time of drinking oolong tea, it is really kind of enjoyment to take cups of Oolong tea any time.The same time, Wuyi Mountain and Guang Dong Oolong tea is still more heavy than Anxi Oolong in tea leaf color, soup since they are more baked. So they are ok with your stomach. in general, it is ok to drink any kind of tea any time, as long as you're used to it, you can be used to it.It depends on you. Thanks Enjoy tea, enjoy life.

Thanks Lee...yeah, I don't ahve ny trouble with green tea at all, but for
some reason oolong is getting me. I haven't tried it much lately though, it could very well be that I had an empty stomach. Melinda -- "I know. You know I know. I know you know I know.

Semi-fermented as Oolong tea it is, it still excites the stomach ache
if nothing in your stomach. I tried a raw pu-erh recently, which I really liked. It was definately a mistake to have it on an empty stomach, though. I just felt vaguely queezy, but my girlfriend had to lie down for a bit. This was a 1999. For those of you looking to try relatively young pu-erh, I certainly would encourage you both to try it AND to eat something beforehand. As to my favorite teas, that's still a work in progress for me. It's a lot harder to consistently get good tea in the US, especially if you're on a budget like I am. Aside from pu-ehr, I have really enjoyed oolong from Taiwan, specifically dong ding and wen shan puchong (sp?). And for every day drinking, I do enjoy some cooked pu-erh from the Vietnamese grocer, suplemented with some chrysanthemum. Very refreshing. Nico |

If you're drinking Dong Ding and I guess Ali Shan from Taiwan you can't
be on much of a budget. Okay you can find cheap Tung Ting but not Ali Shan. Puerh is still a good deal even from the websites compared to the everyday shelf prices of my local tea shoppe. The best bargain are the loose teas in ethnic markets. You can have your choice around penny/gram and find something you like everyday. Black puer is excellent on an empty stomach. It is low caffeine and will soothe the hunger pains even though I drink it after a meal to abate the I'm not full anxiety. I think you're making the green to strong. It will be about a third of any Taiwan oolong. I use half as much green as any black puer. I think any new tea taste can throw the stomach for a loop. I can still barely tolerate WuYi Old Tree Rock tea. Chrysanthemum is the Jasmine of Puerh. It's not needed.

![]() "Space Cowboy" wrote in message oups.com... snip Black puer is excellent on an empty stomach. It is low caffeine and will soothe the snip I've been wondering about this, I know the debate over caffeine content of black (red) vs. oolong vs. green tea, but don't know much about pu er caffeine content. As I can't really handle much caffeine in the late afternoon to evening, I am interested in the caffeine content of pu er, both green and black and cooked/ raw etc. Does anyone know? And what is the cause of the stomach upset with green pu er? Is it caffeine? thanks L |
