Re: FREE: Yixing, Gawain, Cups & Pitcher
I'd be happy to give a couple of the gaiwans a home where they'll be put to good use! Very generous offer.

Re: Realzisha.com
I would not be inclined to trust anyone saying “everyone is bad, except me, only I have the real thing.” Extremism is never a good trait. Facts. It seems to be a marketing strategy to me. Conflict grabs attention. Of course I couldn't speculate on whether his Zisha claims are legit or not, but the ...

Re: Georgean tea
I got a sampler pack of their stuff earlier this year. Generally solid stuff, with a few outliers either way. I loved the Georgian Breakfast, which has huge notes of baking chocolate and just enough tannin to keep things interesting. It'll be the first one I finish from them for sure. The Imereti Su...

Battle scarred UFO is joining the line up… 85ml, Zhuni, very high fired. ./download/file.php?id=13748 ./download/file.php?id=13747 ./download/file.php?id=13746 Battle scarred is right! That's like if Zhou Tai were a teapot, high fired like being in the battle of Chibi. I really like that one.

Re: Yunnan Craft vs Yunnan Sourcing
I'd say yes, but not as an indictment of Yunnan Sourcing. At the beginning of my tea journey, I ordered from both, and found excellent teas from both sites. YS has the larger site and selection, and my favourite teapot is a now discontinued item from them. YC has the better quality/price ratio and ...

Re: Yunnan Craft vs Yunnan Sourcing
If I'm reading the proverbial room correctly, it would seem that the consensus is that Yunnan Craft is generally superior to Yunnan Sourcing. Is that accurate? If so, why? I'd say yes, but not as an indictment of Yunnan Sourcing. At the beginning of my tea journey, I ordered from both, and found ex...

Re: Taiwan Tea Crafts?
Thanks for the review! What made you order from TTC instead of other Taiwanese vendors like Mountain Stream or Taiwanleaftea? I've never heard of Taiwanleaftea. I've spent a lot of time looking at Mountain Stream and I just don't like people who seem to be serial entertainers. He doesn't seem like ...

Jay Shree's Darjeeling Second Flush Mellow White. Quality appears decent, with lots of white hairs on the leaves, which are mostly whole and picked as two leaves and a bud. 5 g of tea in a 140mL Duanni pot, water at 185F, steeped for 1:30, 1:45, and 2:00 First infusion is gentle, with honey and flor...

Re: Japanese Teaware Vendor Recommendations
The order from Sazen arrived today. They're my second big purchase from Japan, with the previous order from Hibiki-An being the only one prior. Both companies shipped tremendously fast and both impressed me with their packing. Sazen even used some special kind of tape on the outside of the box. Both...
