Nice-looking teaware! Never came across a Japanese black that had enough flavor for me. It looks tasty in that pretty cup though. Thanks! I have had a few that were quite interesting, The Japanese kind of have their unique spin on Black tea and even Oolongs. I think one of the most unique and delic...

Sugimoto Tea Company - Sencha Homare session

When I first got it I believe it had been coated in urishi because there wasn't any oxidation at all, I can only assume that someone had taken the time to recondition the tetsubin when I bought it. I purchased it online from a fairly well-known vendor Katsuragi Japan. For the first several months I ...

I have been using my Tetsubin for just shy of a year now and I was curious if any other Tetsubin users out there could relate to an issue I find myself having. I have noticed that the first batch of water is a little over the top with the iron taste, and after I boil that first kettle the flavor is ...

I picked up 100g of this last December and it's likely the best gyokuro I have had yet. I'm not sure what price point you're looking for. https://shop.ikkyu-tea.com/collections/gyokuro/products/gyokuro-box-i https://shop.ikkyu-tea.com/cdn/shop/products/Ikkyu_tea_gykuro_gift_box_square-e1569586947978...

iTeaworld - Dahongpao Oolong Tea (Big Red Robe) Aroma: after warming the leaf in my porcelain kyusu the roasted caramel aroma was present as soon as I lifted the lid of the kyusu to pour the water onto the leaf. I have come to enjoy several Dahonpao Oolongs so I was looking forward to seeing what th...

My first session with this material was with one packet at 3.5g to 110ml water in my porcelain gaiwan, the timings were basically flash steeps for the first two steeps increasing about 5 seconds into the 5th steep and increasing to ten seconds added after increasing time as flavor decreased. The sec...

iTeaworld - Fenghuang Dancong Old Tree Oolong Tea (Mi Lan Xiang Honey Orchid) Aroma: Initially I tossed this tea into my prewarmed gaiwan to elevate the leaf's temperature and upon opening the lid I was hit with a bouquet of floral notes followed by subtle yet distinct roasted notes stemming from th...

I received the 4 sample set from iTeaworld yesterday, and I must say, their packaging is really nice - easy to handle and eco-friendly. The larger box it came in adds to the overall aesthetics and presentation of their product. Appearance: The tightly rolled Minnan Narcissus Oolong leaves boast a ca...

Welp... My iTeaworld Oolong sample set arrived today, looks like I'll be diving into this and seeing what these folks are all about in the very near future. https://i.imgur.com/WSCQJKF.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/NIKwyQD.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/GEqnBKL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/xxdEPTa.jpeg https://i.i...

This is one of my rarer pieces, I don't use it often because for me it's quite a bit larger than my other cups that range between 40-70ml, and this one is 100ml which isn't super big, but still much larger than my other cups.
