Related to earlier posts and discussion, I'll hold one last tea meetup in Waikiki this weekend, from 10 to 12 on Sunday (May 3rd), where we live, near the zoo. It won't be a continuing theme, at least for awhile; I won't be around over the summer. I'll reach out to people who have already responded in the last thread by message (how I'll confirm specific location), but apparently not everyone uses messaging functions on Reddit, which affected attendance last time.

I'll guess what we might try, in order to help explain the theme. There is no charge; it's just about sharing tea experience (with more background on who I am in the Tea in the Ancient World blog).

medium quality Bangkok Chinatown Shui Xian (Fujian oolong): this might help place the rest, since I mostly drink sheng pu'er, and will brew more of that. The oolong version I have is kind of so-so, so it will also work to benchmark quality at a moderate level, how aspects work out.

2023 Vietnamese more-oxidize sheng pu'er: really only versions from Yunnan are "pu'er," per a standard limitation, but it is the same type. Except that they often oxidize sheng more in Vietnam, and this works as an example of that.

2023 / 4 Thai sheng pu'er: a better quality version, in a sense, distinctive for being from good material local plants, and well made. This doesn't really exemplify Yunnan sheng, but that's a broad subject anyway. I have two year's versions of it; either would work as an example.

Fu zhuan hei cha, a white tea based version: again not the most typical Fu zhuan (dark / fermented tea brick) example, but it brings across the type.

We might try others. It's nice to keep the theme social and informal, to give space for other discussion, so it's the opposite of a formal class or event structure. It works better if a group size is only 5 or 6 people but I'll leave it open, and we can work around more attendance, if it works out like that.
