I think the title is too niche a reference but regardless, it's that time of year again at last so recommend teas that I can pretend have health benefits but are really just dirt water.
I have a cup of ginger turmeric in the morning and two cups of chamomile before sleep and I think the morning could be moved to early evening and so I specifically want something herbal for first thing in the morning but I'm open to others
The pumpkin spice finally ran out and it would be weird to reup on that in December.

I have a pancake sized puck of pu-erh from one of the Yiwu mountains of the Six Great Tea Mountains.
I'm saving it for a special occassion.
Like Xi Jinping dying. Or the Three Gorges Dam collapsing. Or Chinese Civil War. Or China becoming bankrupt. Or Shanghai falling into the giant sinkhole that is Shanghai.

I heard about cha gao/tea resin for the first time in a youtube video a few days ago, I'm considering buying some but there's only three listings of it on (US) amazon so I'm worried that there's a reason it's not more popular. You ever had this stuff/is it worth buying?
One of the three listings: https://www.amazon.com/FullChea-Menghai-Pu-erh-Yunnan-Digestion/dp/B08FDDTC8M

i'll be honest and tell you that i've never heard of or seen this before but it doesn't look too expensive to give it a try

I was too afraid to order from a weird chinese listing but I found a Canadian company selling it and I'm pretty sure that theirs won't be made of fentanyl or gutter oil, so I'll buy some and report back

Seems like an interesting concept tbh but yeah you've gotta be careful of the many selling fake pu-erh lol

It's actually really good and I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
I bought this https://jessesteahouse.com/products/ancient-tree-shou-puer-tea-resin-2017-tea-master-series, kind of expensive but very convenient not having to deal with the used leaves or worrying about how long it steeps. Not as strong as I'd like but there's no bitterness to it and it has a nice chocolatey flavor. I'll definitely be buying more.

If you're importing, a cake of high end puerh runs $50-100. Some places will sell them in smaller pieces.

Xi Jinping dies during his visit to Shanghai as the city collapses into a sinkhole, this sparks a Chinese civil war during which the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed by terrorists. Hundreds of millions are killed within hours due to catastrophic flooding, with a full 500 million dying by the end of the month. The Chinese economy is left in shambles due to all major industrial centers being destroyed by flooding/civil war/depopulation.
