You gonna frame that bottom piece?

Nah. It's actually none-too-expensive, but tea cakes generally are a whole other level—I'm getting close to cultural appropriation here.

[Horace]

Nice. Pu-erh is my favorite tea. There's a tea shop that sells some very old and way too expensive pu-erh that I indulge in sometimes.

[89th]

That label is so racist. Also, pu-erh sounds more like a coffee amirite?

[Mik]

Horace, glad to see your old avatar back!

[jon-nyc]

Make it stop.

[89th]

Did you mean Make it steep?

[jon-nyc]

Where’s that fucking hair in the air smiley?

[Axtremus]

What with the hipsters and pu-erh tea? Maybe I missed a marketing campaign somewhere. As Chinese teas go, pu-erh seems to have been elevated beyond reason by tea enthusiasts in the USA.

I think because it's so different. Hipsters like arbitrarily old processes (hence the chemex nonsense, vinyl, tea crap, etc., etc.) I like it because 10g of good pu-erh tea can make like 10-15 cups. Rebrewing is clearly superior.

[Doctor Phibes]

Did somebody shit in your tea?

[jon-nyc]

I would if given the chance.

Chemex is hipster?

Hubby and I are hipsters. Who knew? Not us.

It totally is! Welcome to the club! Can I interest you in an arm sleeve tattoo and some fair trade beach towels?

No, thanks, but hubby would like to order the kit for growing a full head of hair, with the beard option, please. He already has the flannel shirts.
