    What do you mean “now” if you looked at the image you’ll see the comment is from 2008, its a comment under a torrent for constructional DVD - a thing that existed wayy before internet (or well in different format at least, so like instructional VHS)

    except that is a bagel in a different form. Bublik/baranka is a Ukranian/Russian bagel. Bagels/or grandaddy of bagels come from Poland

    The earliest known references to obwarzanki being baked in Kraków, Poland’s former royal capital, appear in the accounts of the court of King Vladislaus II Jagiełło and his consort, Queen Hedwig. An entry dated to 2 March 1394 mentions the product using both its Polish name and its equivalent in Polish Medieval Latin, circuli

    The first known written mention of the bagel is found in the Community Regulations of the city of Kraków in 1610. The bagel spread through Poland across all areas with significant Jewish population, reaching Ukraine, where it got its current form. The word bublik was adopted from Ukrainian to Russian in which it is first documented in the 18th century. It is mentioned as “wheat bublik” (бублик пшеничнои) in the Lexicon or Alphabetic Collection of Speeches from Russian to Dutch by Jacob Bruce published in 1717 in Saint Petersburg.

    I wouldn’t personally call “Gong Fu Cha” a ceremony, more like a “discipline” since that’s sort of the idea behind “Gong Fu” its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that’s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.

    I also don’t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you’ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.




  • I know that cold brew is a thing of black teas, its just that it takes a while to do black cold brews, compared to gyokuro which you can brew it room temp under a min or so if you’re using higher ratio of tea to water compared to western brewing.

    But yes like I mentioned you can do green tea near boiling its just it depends heavily on where its from, how its grown, how its treated and how fresh it is. The less fresh green tea is, the colder the water you should be using.



  • I’m not a star trek nerd but a tea nerd, and if I’m not mistaken Picard drinks earl grey: You generally boil black tea of course that depends on the tea but yeah 80c range is quite low for black. Depending on the green and the time of brew the tempature can be anywhere from room temp to 90c it just depends on many different factors, like freshness or how the tea plant is grown and how those leaves are treated. Generally with Japanese greens you use low temp water, with fresh Chinese green teas you can use near boiling water.
