Transporting teas when moving internationally

Hello, Has anyone moved internationally with your tea collection and how did you make sure teas were safe? I'm thinking of taking some in the suitcase with me and some in the big boxes that will be in whatever storage for sometime till we settle in a house but I'm worried about this latter option. H...

Re: Your day in tea

It's fall season officially and harvest season for us at the farm. We have this humble fig tree that keeps giving so usually jam making day requires energy and patience, and lot's of tea session here and there. I've been finding lately that sencha and fig jam and fresh goat cheese is a match of perf...

SENCHA FROM KAWANE, SHIMONAGAO, KIRARI 31

Very delightful sencha. I had a bad bad gui feng oolong in the morning and I was not in the mood for another oolong type and this one hit the spot.

Georgean tea

Today I tried for the first time Georgean black tea. I had read an article on https://freshcup.com/georgian-tea-revival/, and it spiked my curiosity but never got to find a good direct source, till someone here mentioned Renegade tea. They had sold out all the new harvest ones but I was able to orde...

Re: Water Water Everywhere... What’s Your Water?

For tea I use a mountain spring water Mont dore. There has been time when I've used other water and tea has been flat. Mont d'or makes my te...

Re: 2023 Shincha Harvest tea recommendations?

Nice!!

Just the other week I tried a benifuki black tea with a kobiwako teapot. that usually is a bit bitter for my taste but it was surprisingly very tame with the kobi. I read Chip's thread a while ago and thats what made me use that teapot more often. Very helpful.
