Re: A hairline crack

You might try using teaware with drip glaze made where you live. I was happy using a locally made pot with drip glaze. I dropped it which broke its handle. I use it as a server now. One can get attached to these pretty things we hold in our hands & admire with our eyes. I especially like irregular ...

Re: white2tea

So here is a silly question: For White2Tea's tea club is there, like, a pattern in what is sent out? I know it is supposed to be a surprise and that it logically would follow the seasonal production of specific types of tea, but I've found it hard to set expectations. I am hesitant to go into monthl...

Re: Teas We Like : By and for Tea Lovers

A few things are out of stock already, but we will work on restocking the ones we can restock! Off chance, but happen to know if you'll be able to restock 2003 Hong Kong Henry “Conscientious Prescription” 7542? I've had it before from a very generous friend and I am afraid I was too slow to snag on...

Re: Premium Silver Needle Vendors

Tao Tea Leaf in Toronto Canada has, in my experience, offered some excellent silver needles. I've had the organic and premium qualities before and the differences were subtle, but still memorable. Admittedly though I am more a shou mei drinker, but I always keep some of Tao's silver needles at hand...

Re: What exactly is a british teapot?

Reading through this thread it reminds me of a decade-old question I was asked by a customer: Did the British misunderstand what a faircup was for and, instead, simply repurposed it to hold the dairy? I had no answers then and I still don't now, but all this conversation on design and intent has ma...

Bitterleaf Teas

Welcome to the Bitterleaf Teas discussion topic! Been a lurker for a while and have seen some references here and there regarding Bitterleaf's tea offerings. Since they are doing a 5 year anniversary sale right now and have a promo for their teas, I was curious as to some thoughts on their teas? I'v...

Re: Introduce Yourself

Greeting all, How long have you been drinking tea? Most of my life, but I only started to seriously drink it after I worked at a Teaopia (bought out by Teavana - during their Canadian adventure - before they got bought out by Starbucks). From then been making baby steps in the decade since) What kin...
