Went to the Chinese herbal store. Apparently, Pu-erh tea are similar to wine. The older they get, the expensive. Both are fermented.
The store owner described the tea like a sommelier.
"The tea in that tea caddy is from 2005, it's worth $350. That one is younger, harvested in 2013, so a tin would cost you $50"
My favourite store is still the one in an old shopping complex in the big city, near my former school. The nice lady would spare time to explain some of the herbs and roots in her dainty store. What I like most is flower tea (tisane). Be it rosebuds, or chrysanthemum or lavender.
I like the smell of the herbal store. Maybe because of the spices such as the pepper roots and 5 spices.
And I only use watermelon frost to treat my aphthous ulcer.
Brings back the memories of the good old days, when life is about exploring and experiencing new things. And it's already a new year.
