Re: What HeiCha are you drinking

These last few days I've been trying out the Baishaxi Anhua Heicha tasting set from Teasenz. Out of the seven types of tea, the ones that stood out for me the most were the Fu Zhuan and Qian Liang (didn't know what spicy tea meant until now, the smell really took me by surprise :lol: ). I'm still tr...

Re: Clay Kettles
