Re: looking for spicy

Here people mostly drink ,, natural tea,, so not aromatized or flavoured. Probably some drink and those kinds, I can't speak for everyone. If to speak about pure tea, I could recommend something that is not spicy but bitter/astringent. Young sheng, green tea, some red teas and some white, mostly bai...

Before buying check also this post. Not against anything, just for your information. If you like the pot feel free to buy it.

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

Coming back with the update :) The lid arrived, I did not find the exact color, but pretty similar. There was around 1-2 mm difference on the real lid compared to the size from the vendor's site, but basically it was close. There is a small lift, but the functionality is restored and my teapots do n...

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

Thanks for the reply! I found some lids but yeah, it's hard to find the color, size, texture etc. That's why I asked around. Maybe this may help someone, this is the seller I found: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyjCfcN There is also another one with gaiwan lids. I can second that recommendation, sadly...

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

If you are able to shop on Taobao, searching for “紫砂壶 盖子” gave me not a few listings for replacement lids with various specifications to choose from. I cannot recommend any specific shops because I've never bought from them. I've got a duanni pot that I picked up at a local brick-and-mortar tea sho...

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

If this pot is really important to you and you can find local potters, you could ask them to make you a replacement. It probably won't be an exact match, but at least it would fit. If you have lots of other pots, one of their lids might fit well enough that you could use it for both. Otherwise, you...

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

I believe it is possible to brush out a mm with sanding paper , as potters do after firing ( when contractions messes up with lids ). If you have a precise measurements ( not +/- ) , I can check other teapots. Please note, that I sell only whole teapot. https://www.yunnancraft.com/en/jianshui-teapo...

Re: Lid for yixing teapot

i've never seen a place or service to get lids. i think your options are: get a new pot ask an artist acquire tools and skills to make a ceramic lid settle for making a simple lid with a focus on basic functionality for the last option, perhaps you could fashion a very basic lid out of sheet metal....

Maybe someone has one, after an unfortunate event of losing the teapot, but the lid remained? Is there a place where ai can buy one? Th...

Re: What's your tea of choice when you're sad?

When my wife feels tired morally or sick she likes silver needle. It's refreshing and ,, full of life and young,, . I rarely feel a sadness that needs to be healed but if I have it, for me almost any tea would work. I start to feel better even before my first sip since the preparation process makes ...

Re: Seeking Recommendations for the Best Green Tea Brand to Reduce Fat.

Doesn't really matter the type of tea. Physical activity, nutrition is more important and water (water not tea). The tea can help a very little percentage in this process.

Re: Brass kettle useable?

I am not an expert. But it should be good. Maybe for some high quality level top smth may be problems. In rest i don't think there should be any issues. But again. I am not an expert.
