I'd say find a local tea shop and get small amounts of a couple different types. The tea that makes it to western markets is usually pretty low quality, black teas are the most likely to be decent. There isn't gonna be a huge quality difference between brands either. If you want really good stuff, you gotta order online from specialized sellers, usually from asia.

Also, ditch the tea ball thingy and get a steeping basket or steep straight in the pot, the leaves don't have room to expand in there and you don't get good flavour.

I can try to recommend something more specific based on which flavours you like the most (earthy, woody, chocolate, malty, fruity, floral, vegetal, grassy, nutty etc.)

I mean some people are just assholes, that transcends gender lmao

GUanCIaLE!!!!! 🤌🤌🤌

Any organic material will combust at 3300C given enough time

Reality: when water is cooled below 0 °C, it freezes... sometimes

My windows install started bluescreening a couple days ago and won't boot, might be this exact issue lmao, anyways, I got linux and neither the energy nor time to deal with microsoft's bullshit, I'm tempted to wipe that garbage off my disk for good

Might just be that more poolish = more flavour, as far as I'm aware poolish is only used by bakeries because they don't have enough fridge space to ferment all the dough overnight. Baking at home, you usually don't have that limitation. What I do is make the dough in the evening, and put it straight in the fridge, in the morning, I'll take it out, and since it's had time to autolyse, it's usually very workable. Then I'll do a couple folds over a few hours (keeping it at room temp) and throw it in the oven.

Another thing I noticed: If you usually use the same recipe as this, but without one of the poolishes, the hydration comes out to 72%, but adding another poolish will raise the hydration to 80% because the poolish is wetter than your base dough. Maybe you're noticing the difference in hydration? I find that higher hydration usually yields bigger bubbles, a softer interior and a crispier crust.

What do you even do if you get a fine like that? Die? That shit is life ruining...

Essence sounds so fucking cool, like some offering to appease the machine gods

Also, financial literacy applies to capitalist systems, by glorifying it, they are glorifying capitalism
