Now that I can fully express my love of shous, I decided to brew this one up.
Method: rinse 10-10-10-15-20 and dump. Steep 20-25-30 and drink. 5 g, 4 oz, 200 degrees
I think I finally found a shou method that works for me!!!! SO EXCITED! I am seasoning my TeaVivre pot in this tea, so I decided to drink some also. I’m feeling all relaxed and mellow. Had a nice lunch with friends downtown. I have a pot of shou simmering with my yixing on the stovetop. All my pups are happy and spry today. Life is good!!!!!
This tastes like honey and caramel. I may not even needed quite so many rinses, but I was making some for the seasoning, and it all worked out. So happy!!!!

Wait, your love of shou’s?! When did this happen?! :D
Like yesterday, Brenden. Keep up, will ya! :p
Hehehe, always! :)
Paging Dr. Sheng…
I’ve been told it’s okay to love both sheng and shou.
^This is the truth. ;-)
But don’t tell sheng that! :D
A mix between the two is easy to do. A little sheng and toss in some shou will make for a happy you. What can I do as it is always true. A sheng a shou it’s all some puuuu….A small Haiku…..for you…
I like shou, but mostly by default.
Lol, this thread was very funnney! And yay for shou love and happiness sarsy <3
My name is Dr. Sheng. Please make a note of it, Fairycakes :p
Me? Love Sheng AND Shou? It just seems so… wrong! LOL
Really, mrmo? Do you mix them for real? I love your poem. :)
You name is Dr Sheng? My gastroenterologist name is Dr Shou, but when asked he didn’t know anything about the health benefits of Shou puerh. True story.
No way, Allan!!!! Shouldn’t a gastroenterologist know all about shou???? Especially one NAMED Dr. Shou?
Apparently not. But that is really his name.
So I’m trying Temple Stairs for the first time, and I think I agree with your method, Sarsonator. I dumped the first two, and started with the third, and dumped that about a third of the way through. The fourth was much better for me. Lesson learned.
I think it just depends on the shou, Cheri. Some do great with one rinse and some seem to have more of a fermentation flavor (as AllanK calls it) to get past. Glad it worked out for you :)
