After I said NO MORE TEA, what did I do? The bulk spices, herbs and tea are the first thing to greet me at the co-op. At least I can get trivial quantities and not feel too bad about buying more tea.
Mmmm….
Brewing loose tonight based on color (hello darkness my old friend). The puer is ok quality with plenty of large cut leaves but a thick layer of dust does settle in the bottom of the cup after pouring through a strainer. It’s thick like a cup of french press coffee, earthy, mushroomy, maybe a little bittersweet, very buttery after first steep and pretty clean-tasting with some astringency. The sticky rice herb isn’t as strong as I’d like it to be but its sweetness later becomes pronounced. Overall, it’s solid. The mini tuo cha form is great for ease of use and I’ll consider keeping some of these in my backpack once I buy another strainer.
One 6.5g mini tuo cha gave me 3-10oz brews western style with water off-boil.

You will be in good company!
Just by chance, what is the name of this co-op you like so much? No reason in particular…
Rainbow Grocery. It’s worth a stop but it ain’t cheap!
Thanks, that is going on the list!
Don’t be surprised if you ask for help and feel snubbed by the staff. Many are helpful and kind, many are haughty. There are a lot of people that work and shop there with some very entrenched beliefs. Vague, I know, but you might pick up on what I mean.
Teabyss!
Yes, the same people that were parodied on the South Park “Smug Alert” episode, that all drove hybrid cars and thought the smell of their own farts were amazing. It’s nice to know they aren’t all working at Whole Foods.
