@Tommy : Thanks bro.

@Duncan : Dude, just wait till you have the “non-dodgy” variety of Pu’erh… Then you’ll really be fucked. ;-D

You’ve got me hooked! Found some dodgy Pu’erh at the weekend, whose aroma reminds me of mouldy tents and damp camping expeditions. But, remarkably, it’s quite pleasant to drink…

Everything that Vishal said- word for every single word. Podcasts like “Buddha in a cup of tea” are why RockOm.net is a micro-patron of BG. Thank you!

@Vishal : Thanks bro. Glad you liked it.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. Glad to see I’m not the only tea geek out there.

I should mention that the ‘Buddha in a Cup of Tea’ podcast is one of the most awesome ones on BG. I more than thoroughly enjoyed listening to the interview. There were some moving moments, such as the one in which the listener is made aware of Millie losing her son and that too in a very “bare sense” (face-to-face sort) of way, so that we all at once appreciate and acknowledge impermanence but in a manner that doesn’t disturb us or throw our minds in turmoil. And, then there were funny moments! Actually, during certain periods of the interview, I was actually led to meditation effortlessly just by listening to Cohen’s words.

Great job, Vince!

No more McTea for me. Been down that road. I'm going to try to get a hold of the Ebay sellers and ask them for further discounts. Another one I tried recently is tuochatea.com which has outrageously low prices and ships directly from Yunnan in China. These are all perfect for Puerh, which to me is the best and might as well be the only tea. --Teaternity

Something you should know about the way Indians drink tea. If you serve an Indian some tea and there is no milk in it, your gesture will be considered a slight, nay, an insult! Indians usually find it difficult to “stomach” Chinese tea (which is almost never served with milk, as far as I know.) Of course, tea is huge in India.

This post was awesome enough to make a man mishandle his gaiwan while reading it;)

Ha ha! Absolutely brilliant. I might have to kick my no caffeine habit and get myself a bamboo tea table.
