Update on Tea Pairing with Mumyoi by Tozo from Sado Island.. I’ve since tried the pot with a host of teas young and aged. The best pairing is still pointed towards fresh greens like LongJing and raw Puerh, both raw and aged. Also had an interesting round with a 20+ yearold ripe puerh. The clay elev...

Just a guess, we will need Dogen to confirm. That year, a few factories made cake using that name. I do not have a photo of the wrapper as this tea was a sample, but I took the seller's pictures. Here it is: ./download/file.php?id=11584 That’s 2006 Zhongcha Big Green Tea. Try to store your samples ...

Was it 2006 Big Green Tree Sheng Puerh? If it is, a photo of the wrapper would help. Ah that makes sense, it is Puerh, haha. Just a guess, we will need Dogen to confirm.

Hello! I received a 2006 Big Green Tea Taiwan storage from a friend. When I hit the 1st infusion, the tea tasted flat, a little winged bean taste, and bitter and no astringency. By the time I got into the 5th and 6th infusions, the bitterness was gone, but the flat taste was still there. Was there a...

I bought this Junzo kyusu in Shihateapot. The description told that it was good in fermented teas. I haven't seen this kind of design in Sazen even in Artistic Nippon.

It is porous as it dries easily. It also has a good pour, better than other pours in my other kyusus. The handle is also nice!

Good day!

I posted in our local tea group in Facebook about my experience with a shu bought from Yunnan Craft. Someone commented that there is no cloud in the tea soup. What does that phrase mean? Is it a good, or a bad thing?

Thank you so much!

PS. That is the shu in question.

I do not own this pot. Well, I am planning to buy it, but I would rather have the opinion of other so that I minimally avoid tuition pots. That's a good goal, but we do have a rule on not commenting on pots that members do not own, because we worry that the thread would become flooded with this typ...

Hello! I was scouring in the internet for some Yixing until I found this. Could you tell me whether this is a real Yixing? My gut feeling is that it is too good to be true. But I want to know your opinions before buying it. I think the clay is smooth? But I don't know, since some pots I saw in Marsh...

What do you guys think of this channel? Looks like the videos is informative with regard to zhuni, and hongni clays.

Kind of slow to be checking in on this. One of my earliest online tea contacts was a woman in the Philippines who was into better tea. It was too early; others just weren't on that page. Later I talked regularly with one of the main vendors promoting specialty tea there (the Teavolution founder, if...

I have one of his Shibordashi's which makes BEAUTIFUL Gyokuro. Sencha is ok but Shibordashi is made for Gyokuro usually so thus its better. I have heard that gyokuro goes well in a flat shape shibo, or kyusu. That's why I bought one in Sazentea.com, my go to for Japanese teas. kyusu.jpg kyusu 1.jpg

I have a question: Is Lipton good for coating the insides of tetsubin?

I would be concerned about placing the entire Tetsubin in water as the outside is treated differently than the inside. After a Tetsubin is cast and cleaned up, it is placed inside a +-1000℃ oven and reheated until glowing red with little oxygen inside the oven. This process heat seals the inside of...
