Saffron as an Antidepressant (2018)

Dunno about Persian style tea; but the pu’erh I often drink tastes significantly better from a sake cup vs a “normal” double walled bodum tea glass. I can’t really explain why, cup shape does affect hiw much you drink per sip, maybe the nose is involved.. Or it’s all bollocks and completely in my head.

Either way, sake cup is the way to go for puerh ;)

Of course ... Makes sense now, thanks! Someone mentioned below that drinking from a metal cup compared with glass tastes different, which again makes sense to me.

Where do you buy your pu'erh? I'll have to buy some, plus a sake cup it seems!

From Mei Leaf usually (see if you can get ahold of their tub highness it’s my favourite young Sheng), not cheap though.

Real puerh is very good for you. Anecdotal obviously but descendants on my father's side eat healthy and drink a lot of puerh daily, regularly live to 100+.

Can't speak to the glass. But I find tea tastes awful out of a metal thermos.
