Any of these available?
Yes, the pavek, the 80s private factory shuiping, the modern zini shuiping 120ml, the F1 white label xishi, and the your_teapot kyusu. And I'm going to post some new ones soon too.

Interesting post about lead in f1 pots https://www.facebook.com/groups/217975505214726/permalink/1957918401220419/ ./download/file.php?id=13103 Wow, so there’s lead in F1 teapots. I understand that the lead may be contained within the matrix but also lead of any amount is hazardous. I wonder if hig...

Re: Yixing

This one is one of my all time favourites… 44ml, often used, it’s gathered a rather nice glow. ./download/file.php?id=12693 ./download/file.php?id=12692 ./download/file.php?id=12691 The small ones have become my most used. Higher tea ratio and can do 2 different teas for the caffeine consumption of...

Re: Yixing

Nope, not that I'm aware of. Closest, which isn't even that close, would be guava pots or I believe they are called xian paio (not sure on that spelling, someone please correct me) Thanks for the reply. The reason I'm asking is because I like the frontal look on the teapot I posted more than on reg...

WTB 1/4 or 1/2 cake of 2007 CYH Yiwu Zhiwang

I've wanted to try this tea for a long time, but never wanted to fork over for the whole cake. So if anyone has a 1/4 or 1/2 cake they are willing to part with, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to try it. Thanks

Re: What would you tell your novice self about tea

Go very slowly, buy slowly, drink slowly. I have a lot of bad tea I bought early on that will basically just sit and waste cause I am not cruel enough that I would give it as a free gift. If I could change anything it'd be buying less tea early on.

Re: Water in California

Definitely check your local water district's website for info on where the tap water comes from. I'm in San Francisco and we have pretty good tap for tea.

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking

The temperature down here has plummeted to around 20 degrees Celsius recently (aka a 'cold' day in Sydney), so I've been playing with some roasted Taiwanese teas. There's something about Dong Ding / hong shui / Muzha TGY and similar styles of tea that just feels comforting, cosy and warm to me for ...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking

Yesterday's aged yancha. brewed strong. It feels like brewing an aged tea in the Chaozhou style is 'cheating', since there's less harshness that needs to be controlled, but it tastes so good that I don't mind. I almost went through the whole pack of tea before trying to brew it in this strong fashi...

It is kind of amazing to have this wonderful past time, called tea and drinking it out of an object that’s been around a good 200years… cheers! Dingdong Dongding.

That's dark soup for a dong ding! Strong roast or pot packed to the brim? Or a combination of both?

Re: XG 8653 Thick paper

Jumping on this thread being revived. Mopar, is it the iron cake version? Is that the only January, thick paper version there is? I'm not familiar with the production.
