Do you know if there will be Teabuy Korea this year

Thanks for your comments. Do you think it’s modern because it’s in unused condition, or are there any other signs that would indicate this?

I don’t know really… maybe that Dancong looks interesting. But he has little apart from dark tea and puerh…

I have not, so can’t compare.. but I would place it with the top teas from those other shops mentioned it’s tempting to buy some more

Gaoshan, apart from those you mentioned, I also recommend you try Chawangshop. Talking about silky.. you would probably like it. Only thing it’s a double - smoked/unsmoked tea

@Bok That’s a nice pot. Could you share some more photos?

Hi, let me share this little fellow with you. 60 ml in volume, HongNi possibly late 70s. It brews a very nice cup of yancha, hongcha or even balhyocha.

Traditionally smoked Lapsang souchong from semiwild old bushes growing in Tong Mu. The leaves are big, dark brown/green, with complex smoke and wood aroma. The tea, no words can really capture, like describing the beauty of a painting.. you just have to see it. The smokiness is gone, what remained i...

Well they probably do it in their free time, so I would be patient also my order is shipped directly from Korea, I guess it takes longer if it goes through their packaging place in the US

My order is already on its way to Czech rep, got the message about two weeks ago
