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...

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. Do you have too many samples like I do at the moment? I picked up a cute 100ml Little Horseshoe Tianbai Jingdezhen Porcelain Gaiwan from...

I'm looking for either a gaiwan that won't melt my fingers or an easy gaiwan that I can take places like work. I know M&L makes great gaiwans but I don't know what I am looking for. I'm looking to graduate from western brewing to super minimalist gong fu brewing. Halp plz :D 1. What type of tea are...

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...

So far I really like the kettle. It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, but heats quickly from my perspective and is relatively quite. I got mine this afternoon and pulled out a lot of samples to try. I had been brewing western style but I bought a nice easy gaiwan and some cups so I'll ...

I have some hasami porcelain cups but I am not sure how to clean them properly without messing up the flavor of my tea. You can use baking soda rub with fingers or cloth, followed by white vinegar wash, rinse a few times with water. Will clean up nicely with no after taste. Thank you very much, can...

I'm buying the Bonavita BV07002US Interurban 1L shortly but I did consider the Stagg EKG. The reason I chose this one is because many people I know have used the previous models of the Bonavita for many years with only minor issues. I'll be using this only for myself and a guest(possibly). The oolo...

What is the best way to store oolong tea samples? I don't want my babies to go bad, but I also want some nice and simple way to store them too . Most of the ones I have are packets that are resealable.

How long have you been drinking tea? For a week perhaps a day less What kind of tea do you drink? Oolong most, just sampling and enjoying. How do you prepare your tea? Roughly :P, western style with a large extra fine infuser in my tea cup What factors lead you to delve into the world of tea, and wh...

New oolong drinker here, I have procured a haul of some nice samples and currently drinking a Dan Cong oolong called Old Grove Honey Orchid and one I don't know the type called Buddha's Hand.
