I was just discussing this the other day with some friends and someone posted this. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150112-why-in-flight-food-tastes-weird It seems, from that article, low humidity (and air pressure) can affect how much we taste sweet and salty, partially also due to not being able...

To engage the broader online tea community, we want to try Instagram. We're thinking of occasionally posting member-contributed images (with attribution) and organization-related announcements. Would anyone be opposed to having their photos occasionally reposted to our official IG account, @teaforu...

A first for me in two ways: My first tea purchased in Taipei, which I usually do not do, price is at least two-fold of the rest of the country. In this case the exception as it is a tea from greater Taipei so to speak, from the hills of Nangang. The tea in question is a Tieguanyin. I purchased it a...

i know of a few people that blend together teas that they have an awkward amount of left, 1-2 grams. Sometimes with great results! and also, sometimes not

I am really happy to read what you taste. Great example of different feelings about one tea, since I did not think "thick body" (nor thin body). I also cannot remember whether I have eaten cherimoya so would think of it, of course. We both got the same enjoyment of aftertaste. One reason I may noti...

Very excited for this and you guys. Ive also had the zhongcha huangyin, naked yiwu and am having the byh yibi 18 right now. I have enjoyed everything so far and look forward to more stuff from you guys!

I've pretty much settled on oolong as puerh, mostly aged sheng puer and all kinds of oolongs, recently my favorite have been yancha and roasted oolongs from Taiwan or china. That said, I'll have a white or black from time to time and greens when there fresh. Also, I'm always looking for a new tea to...

I don't use special cups for puerh. I fit the size of the cup to the size of the pot, and pick by whim as much as anything else. This session I drank from the twin of this Seigan Hagi, which is currently my number one cup in rotation at my primary office https://photos.smugmug.com/Tea/Seigan-Sea-cu...

Pretty excited about this new pot. It's an early 80's jade orchid six sided pot made with heixingtu/black star clay. It's prob around 150ml. Really nicely made but shape seems a bit awkward so not sure what teas will work. Anyone have suggestions for what might work with it? https://instagram.com/p...

This little fella from Chaozhou performs outstandingly well with all sorts of roasted teas so far! Dancong, Dong Ding, Shuixian and now bug bitten Oolong from Chen Hua Ying. Really happy I bought it, although the order from China was a risk... Pour and handling are just beautiful. Another lesson in...

I have a set of each of these teacups https://www.chawangshop.com/tea-hardware/tea-cups/vintage-tea-cups/vintage-blue-and-white-double-happiness-cups-60ml-1338.html https://www.chawangshop.com/tea-hardware/tea-cups/vintage-tea-cups/vintage-roc-jingdezhen-shuang-quan-cup-45cc.html Are they safe to use?

I'm gna say faketory on #5

Pot #4: 90ml Can anyone confirm which plant the engraving is supposed to be? An orchid? https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/896/42732212702_3bdc2630f6_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1742/42732213852_6bf44524c6_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1756/42732216242_9b1ff06288_c.jpg https://c1.staticfli...
