Re: 2023 Chinese green tea thread

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...

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… ;)

Re: Types of sheng

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...

Re: Taïwan tea vendors

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...

Re: FS: Qing/ROC ChangJi 昌記 Zhuni

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...

Re: FS: Qing/ROC ChangJi 昌記 Zhuni

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...

FS: Qing/ROC ChangJi 昌記 Zhuni

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...

Re: Cleaning: Awakening & Resetting Unglazed Ceramics / Yixing

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...

Re: Cleaning: Awakening & Resetting Unglazed Ceramics / Yixing

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...
