  • This is a good article: The Non-Judgmental Guide to Getting Seriously Into Tea

    You should try different types of teas. Teas are classified into 6 categories: White, green, yellow, black, oolong and post-fermented (also known as puer or puerh). Puerh is further divided into ripe (shu) and raw (sheng) puerh. Also teas from different countries have their own characteristics. Try them all, and find your favorites.

    Supermarket teas, whether teabags or loose leaf, aren’t very good in general. Of course, there are exceptions, and if flavored teas is what you like, there’s plenty of those in markets. But if you want good loose leaf teas, you need to buy from tea shops. Here’s a long list of online tea shops around the world. You can use the search feature to filter the list. If you, for example, want to find shops that sell teaware and are based in United Kingdom, you can search for “teaware kingdom”.

    If you want to buy teaware, a good rule for what to buy is this: Spend the money on tea instead. Don’t buy some crazy expensive clay pots, when a simple porcelain gaiwan (cup with a lid) does the job perfectly.





    1. On desktop browser you can see list of your subscribed communities on the front page of the instance, below the sidebar (you can collapse the sidebar). On mobile you can expand the Subscribed list. You can also click your name in upper right corner and choose profile. Your communities are on the side (desktop) or bottom (mobile).
    2. You can search for communities either by their name, using the !community@instance syntax (for example, !memmy@lemmy.ml) or by the community’s URL (for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy). That last option usually works, when the other two might fail. If the community is not yet federated with your instance, you can wait a few seconds/moments, and the instance might pop-up in to the search results. Or search again later.
