Hekisuien, Marukyu Koyamaen and Horii Shichimeien are great and easy to get in the U.S. from Sazen Tea online at good prices

I'll add Hisaki Horii's matcha to the list. His matcha has been making really nice koicha, lately.

I’ve been having a really hard time lately because I have 2 serous problems that are difficult for me to resolve. Since I haven’t been sleeping well lately... Janice I'm in similar waters so I know how incredibly difficult it is to function & problem solve when sleep is elusive. Regarding the post,...

I like to order from Seven Cups. I get some longjing, an ji bai cha (early & late) and Tai ping hou kui. I usually try at least one tea that’s new to me. Seven Cups generally offers the teas at a 20% discount the first weekend they’re up for sale. Hey, Janice ! Put in my first order with Seven Cups...

Price drop: $1,000.

I got one myself and for anyone who needs convincing, it’s one of my favourite pots, the clay on these is extraordinarily good Zhuni…

Very appealing, and great explanation above!!

TeaTotaling is it still for sale? what's the new price?

@pedant It is! Price is $1,500.

All fixed up!! Shout out Yuko Gunji.

LeoFox I have had similar lackluster experiences with Sheng regarding a majority of the aforementioned. I tend to gravitate toward younger Sheng and good ones are out there but few and far between for the West, it seems, according to my tastes. The best I have had was a fresh Xi Gui from Yanni of Y...

Wistaria order arrived and their Lishan was the top! Wow. Thanks for the recommendation. I have a question: some other lishan I have ordered from one different company, develop a slight bitter taste by 6th infusion. With wistaria I’m on 7th roast and not even a hint of bitterness, only butter flora...

What a beauty! May I ask how it happened (the break)? Of course! I was holding the pot, admiring it in the sunlight from all angles, and the lid slid out :roll: Silly of me not to secure the lid, at least. Clumsy mistake on my part. This Zhuni is why the above gets no use… ./download/file.php?id=12...

i'm sorry that happened to you. :( still an awesome and perfectly usable pot though once it's fixed. i also like that you're offering it in this condition. imo it's better to let the new owner decide where/how to fix it. could i please see a pic of the broken part of the lid (the broken cross secti...

Unique opportunity to own a piece of history at a decent price, all things considered. The lid requires repair which I have been quoted $210-$230 by Nissan Haque. The pot did not suffer any trauma and is in the same condition as I received it from Zisha Art Gallery. This Zhuni bears the ChangJi 昌記 s...

That is what I tell my kids all the time, but usually the life advice that follows is not about the use of percarbonate. And falls on deaf ears. :D But yeah, percarbonate works great. With clay items, but also with glass items that get stained and cloudy. :lol: Do you know if percarbonate is porcel...

Do you know if percarbonate is porcelain safe? I'm wondering if it might have a corrosive affect on the glaze. I have some glazed wares that could use an effortless cleaning solution. For porcelain I recommend baking soda and vinegar mix, let it sit a while, very lightly rub, wash with water, follo...
