𓀐 @x+*f99F7: >>22224700 I had to throw away around 500g worth of samples because of how badly they molded. Very sad day for me. Folks, this a reminder to air out your puer often. I really didn’t think putting a tiny 65% boveda pack in mylar sample bags would be a bad idea :(+

𓀐 @f7SUw5zH: >>22245635 >Don't I need filtration? Basically it depends on whether your leaves can get overbrewed or not.

But if you can’t find the vendors with competitive offerings, even for those who use taobao and browse Taiwan facebook auctions, then that’s a skill issue on your part. Everyone knows the secondhand market is where you find the actual prices. >>22247036 Typical blind taobao worshipper not even understanding what they’re buying.

𓀐 @RfgRxQu*: >>22259097 In decending order of preference Black Cat: black-as-coffee dark, thick ripe - breddy gud. Bit fishy Charlie: similar to Black Cat. Hardly touched, gonna finish Black Cat first. Shubar: mild and inoffensive, good for effortless grandpa style. Consists of 50% twigs. Unique packaging and form factor. Big Jacko: well you heard what this one tastes like. Just finished a session with a friend. He said he liked it, reminded him of the smell of his grandpas house. Not exactly my preference…+
