Might make a little order from theTea.plMostly for the fresh spring green and Love Forever sample
Christmas Melon Split or not?
>>21964386Seems like a waste unless they specified you're meant to actually drink that. You could probably make your money back if you sold it as an "experience" in a shop.
>>21964386Ai Weiwei's companion piece "Ton of Sugar Cube"
>>21964408Nah, it's just an art piece some guy made. But I guess drinking the art piece would be an interesting gimmick.
ToTI got this cold "tea", it says MEGA DELICIOUS but it ain't. It's.. drinkable.
>>21964386finally a use for my sports direct gaiwan
>>21964437Finally, something sufficient to wake me up in the morning.
>>21964394>.plNice, I am from poland and gonna try next time
>>21964479I think it's a pretty good store, though they don't stock many cheap teas so not the place to go for bargains.There are a few other Polish stores too. Eherbata.pl has a large selection but is less curated and it's harder to know what's worth gettingThere's also five'o'clock, which has bad descriptions on their site but has some decent tea and a chain of IRL stores which can be convenient if you leave near them
>>21964386Usecase for 1 ton pressed cube of tea?
>>21964517Very large cup of tea to really wake you up in the morning
>>219643867 pence per gram, not a bad price
>>21964621for 2005 leaf no less. a fucking steal.
>>21964437the heat of the water steeps the tea
>>21964517Tea party in Boston
>>21964394>Love ForeverJust buy the cake. There aren't many legendary cakes in English speaking places. Might as well be the superior hobbyist.>>21964517Aesthetic af. It's rightfully an art piece and I would leave it somewhere I could see it while drinking my tea.
guys, the melon is actually really good
>>21964437in awe of the size of this ladabsolute unit
>>21964423Aren't those pyramid bags the REAL microplastic bombs?
>>21964709>>Love Forever>Just buy the cake. After trying sample I wouldn't. Overrated like all aged stuff. If I wanted to drink wood+resin I might as well boil some woodshavings from local pet store.
>>21964709>Just buy the cakeIdk, it's like 130$, I don't want to blind cake at that priceI hear this tea is a bit love or hate too and not a typical Xiaguan profile I do highly suggest blind buying the 2005 t8653 for 60$ though, great tea
2026 greens are up on KingTeaMall
>>21964856I'm plasticmaxxing. Health science is all about poisoning you, and they are the ones rallying the hardest against microplastics. So the truth is that plastics will make you healthy, maybe even night-immortal, once you adapt to them and incorporate their thousand-year long lifespan.
>>21965394I'm surprised I haven't heard this take yet
>>21964386>>21964621"Ton of Tea" is just the title. There's no indication how much it weighs. 1 m^3 would be a ton of water, and I think packed tea is usually less dense than water, no? Maybe it was hyper retard packed, but even then I'm not sure. There's also no way to know.
>>21965481Yeah. There's no info as to the actual weight. Could have just compressed super hard to make it fit the dimensions I guess
>>21965486>Could have just compressed super hard to make it fit the dimensions I guessMore likely they'd have tried to compress it less to save on tea material needed for manufactureOr even more likely they'd have compressed it as needed for structural integrity. Which I imagine might be pretty hard to keep the large cube stable and prevent it from falling apart under its own weight, or in fact avoid it compressing itself under its own weight and shrinking. So I'd imagine it's probably pretty compressed but likely not hyper hydraulic pressed
what weighs more, a ton of steel or a ton of tea?
>>21965499tea, it holds more water once brewed
>>21965501They are both a ton
>>21965610But the water adds to the ton
>>21965610But how are they both a ton if steel is heavier?? Doesn't make any sense
>>21965499you weigh them both, so you have weighed at least 2 tons
>>21965757are you calling me fat
>>21965758you went through the action of weighing the steel and the tea, so you weighed them at a ton each, two tons totalyour fatness is a different topic
