I'm paranoid that war chest filled with oolong will go bad eventually. Once I forgot to properly seal up a 60 gram bag of some good quality Da Hong Pao
and I couldn't smell the leaves and it tasted flat. I have some Airscape containers and also gripstics . Anyone know the answer to this?

Re: Chanting Pines
pantry Hmmm.. do you mean this pear? Mine has very good flow. Yes, this one. It flows all right just slow. Perhaps I'll try again. I also chipped the tip of the spout without knowing :'( The small pan hu looks really cute! I love the look. What did you use it for? I got the small da bin hu, but it'...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
klepto will be interesting to hear your thoughts on all your RouGui orders. Thinking about it, so far my favorite (still available) ones are SpaceCat from LazyCat, and GoldMedal from Old Ways Tea. In the past I really enjoyed Half Hand Made from Essence of Tea, Cassia Extraordinaire from Tea Hong, ...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
I wanted to try some of the higher quality yancha and bought some from Wuyi Origins and Postcard teas. So far I tried Rou Gui and Qi Lan, both were really good. Rou Gui has some cacao like notes but it is actually wild cinnamon. Qi Lan was very enjoyable, the lingering taste on the palate had me goi...

Re: How do you use this? (bag sealing clips)
I love these. I purchased some on Amazon and started using them a week ago or so. They are great. I bought the assorted pack, but I see I will be using the smaller sizes more than the larger ones so I'll pick up a separate pack of just the smaller clips. What are they called on Amazon? I’ve had to ...

Re: How do you use this? (bag sealing clips)
I bought a few of these gripstics both small and medium. I have some Airscape containers that I keep them, so I'll see how that works out.

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Iced Shibi high mountain oolong. The best gaoshan in TTC's lineup in my humble opinion. Good to know if I start finding some of their others underwhelming. I just finished a sample of that and found it very enjoyable. I’m new to TTC and have very little experience with Taiwanese tea in general. TTC...

Re: Gaiwan
I'll be brewing oolong for the most part, its my fav. I see we both got an electric kettle at the same time and now going toward gong fu brewing at the same time.

Re: Electric Kettles
klepto, you went with the Bonavita BV07002US? I'm considering a Bonavita at some point. My electric kettle works fine, but it's over ten years old. It does what it has to do, but it would be nice to have the temperature hold feature. I have to boul water in between infusions, which isn't all that b...
