Re: FS: Aged Darjeeling from 1994
I checked with the Early Teabags Facebook group and confirmed this is the Simplified Character purple label release.

Re: NY Times article about beautiful tea
Respectfully, StoneLadle, I am disturbed by your comments about Lim Piang Xiang. I wonder if anyone else felt this way. To be honest, it seems disparaging. I am not talking about cancel culture, about calling someone out, just inviting a gentle closer look. I don’t know it to be true, but I am guess...

Re: NY Times article about beautiful tea
If anyone has Chinese language links/info on Lim Ping Xiang, Wu De's teacher, I always want to learn more about him.
This is his great video on liu bao:

Re: NY Times article about beautiful tea
Only last week, I did a virtual private tea session with one of Wu De's students. It was fantastic! Very meditative and spiritual.

Re: NY Times article about beautiful tea
I think Global Tea Hut is a fantastic part of tea culture. While I generally don’t find their tea quality to be of interest to me, I think it’s great that they make their magazines free online. And while not everybody is into tea as a spiritual practice, for those who are interested in exploring tha...

Re: FS: 3 Chanting Pines Zisha Teapots
For the Pan Hu mostly puerh and liu bao - either because I’m in the mood for that clay, or I want to use less tea. I can’t remember how much I’ve used oolong in it, but I think it works well for roasted oolong too.

Re: FS: 3 Chanting Pines Zisha Teapots
I have the same Pan Hu pot and it's great. My most used pot is a 60s F1, but the Pan Hu would be in my top 3.

Re: Is tea a spiritual activity for you?
The above quote is very inspiring indeed, but one must note that it was written about Japanese Way of Tea as first intention. I don’t know how much it can be used for other ways of tea. Anyway, tea in China has also been a typical activity for Chinese intellectual and art-cultivated class. I don’t ...

Re: Is tea a spiritual activity for you?
That is a wonderful quote. Thank you for sharing it. I enjoy the calming focus tea sessions provide, as well as multi-sensory awareness, and aesthetic engagement. I will say yes, it is a spiritual moment for me, elevating my awareness in the here and now, as I contemplate a humble simple reflective...

Re: Is tea a spiritual activity for you?
Tea is just tea. What we make of it doesn’t change that. "Tea is just tea," sounds rather Zen, Bok. ;) "What we make of it doesn’t change that." But I wonder if what we make of it changes everything? From the intention of the tea farmer to the intention I have when making tea, for me all of these i...

Is tea a spiritual activity for you?
“Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish someth...
