I'm finding it rather odd that not anyone has mentioned the achey and scratchy throat that happens with lots of teas. Search for acute pesticide poisoning and it's also one of the symptoms. I do have some allergies, so it may be that I'm much more easily triggered than others. For me it's very clear...

Yet another alternative would be a cloth wound into a tight roll and formed into a circle, similar to the gas ring that holds a wok. I was thinking about something donut shaped too, but my association was the singing bowl cushion. I suspect they are not going to deal well with lots of water though,...

For broken knobs, there's a technique of using a thin silver pipe/cylinder that is hammered on either side of the knob and lid to keep it in place. It should provide extra structural support. It seems like a somewhat straightforward request for a silversmith, even though they have no experience with...

bliss those Texier reissues are really nice. I do wish there was a CD or digital version because I would grab it in a second - I really try and limit what I buy on vinyl at this point given how expensive its become to produce, ship, and how I don't really have space for much more of it :lol: I also...

I often read this two word online like dark and black, i just wondering if is there any different betwen black tea and dark tea? HeiCha (literal translation Black Tea) is sometimes referred to as Dark Tea as a way to not confuse it with HongCha (literal translation Red Tea) which is known as "Black...

psychedelic music like this: https://youtu.be/-HFvXzWpa0o Thanks for this one Baisao. Hadn't heard, really excellent stuff. I've been putting off digging into Underworld, such a big discography and I haven't always dug everything I've heard in the past. If you have an album recommendation that's so...

Fuzz, ..., Goat, etc. ... Kikagaku Moyo has almost the same sound yet no affect on my tea. It’s puzzling. Interesting that you feel different about Kikagaku Moyo, I tend to put them on more often than the previous these days. Tapping into the more forceful rhythm of the previous bands maybe? Excell...

I'm so gutted I missed out on Old Bush Tie Luo Han (Feng Ke Keng) 老欉鐵羅漢(蜂窠坑) from T Shop NY. I mailed them a while back asking about restock, but never got a reply. I guess it's not an easy question to answer. I had some aged old bush TLH from Feng Ke Feng via Origin Tea back in 2014. Best yancha I'...

I've been rather dismissive of the rice grain porcelains in the past, but some things have changed this.

Nevermind.

Some gifted Dayuling in my silver replacement lid pot for large occasions…

I find it tricky to gauge the size of this pot from the pictures I've seen. Roughly, how many ml would you say it is?

Happy new year all!

Any thoughts on this pot? I was told by 2 fellow collectors that is indeed Qing. One suggested Daoguang era zhuni. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZSNWopveUW/?utm_medium=copy_link Did you see this ebay auction that ended yesterday? ebay.teapot.jpg https://www.ebay.com/itm/224801254364 The seller also ...

./download/file.php?id=10984 It sounds like there was some variation in the blends -- James Norwood Pratt seems to imply that Ch'a Ching was pure Formosa oolong, although I don't know if that is true... Let's have a look! :idea: IMG_6105.JPG IMG_6106.JPG IMG_6111.JPG There's clearly two different k...
