.....since I don't drink that much tea anymore.

Great deal! Are you switching to coffee or some other beverage? What to do with all that extra free time

Had a session with HY chen light roast dong ding from leafy green. First 4 infusions were interesting with toffee sweetness and dried fruit flavors getting deeper with each infusion. It gave me the impression of slowly entering and delving deeper into a large house. The roast and the leaf flavors a...

Welcome to TeaForum @thomas.vankeulen, nice to have you join us here.

Victoria, thanks for the links! Lot of interesting information in those threads. Would this really be a green tea? The leaf is quite dark, which is why I thought it might qualify (loosely) as hei cha. Here is an image from the vendor's website: https://goodtea.eu/20076-large_default/yamabuki-nadesh...

Does this qualify as a hei cha ? Yamabuki-Nadeshiko 山吹撫子 is the only fermented Japanese tea. It is named after two flowers: the Kerria japonica and the Dianthus superbus.

Anna, wich is quite similar, tho slightly lighter in minerals. Bac Are you in Italy somewhere? Other members that have mentioned San Bernardo water ar...

Yes very nice glaze @LeoFox and interesting that it is thin and very light.

Found a pack in my refrigerator of Kaburagien‘s deep steamed Yakushima Shincha. Tastes like a sweet meadow with an umami savory aroma. Grown in the southern island of Yakushima, a world heritage site which also has protected cedar forests, which my lid holders (sake cups) are made of.

I just noticed this shiny fragment on my lid, almost like a piece of coating. Has anyone seen this on their yixing?

The scale came off of the lid skirt probably

Or someone pached it at some point.

This link above has some pictures.

Luckily for me, the sale was closed at the time due to lack of interest, allowing me to take the deal today.

Always thought that was a very nice set. Good for you in getting them.
