Re: West African green tea culture
..... Sometimes the knock-off is the logo rather than the packaging. For instance, a box of gunpowder with a camel on it must be Camel brand, right? Not necessarily! Here we have a slightly different camel logo (in silhouette) that is for a different brand, apparently produced by the Zhejiang Chunl...

That’s so wild, even with ore and dust everywhere

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Haha, that was too funny LeoFox . I’m hoping you bought some +-$1 gram yancha from OWT as well, so you are not left with only painful memories :) . Even Taiwan oolong at that very low price point in USD would be a challenge. I can recommend from OWT his Gold Medal RouGui $0.91 gram but I don’t think...

Re: Your first teapot... show off!
My first teapot was a kyusu made by Kato Tadaomi, aka “Koshin”. ....May I know where you bought it? Welcome to TeaForum JuliaJoJo . I don’t know where Baisao bought his first kyusu, but a google search came up with a few vendors that sell this artisans work like this one https://shihateacomfort.sho...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
faj I hear what you are saying regarding certain flavors being brought out by different processing methods with Japanese green teas, I have noticed this as well. Regarding ‘roasting’ or ‘firing’, I think it’s a question of translation and how Thés du Japón is using the term ‘firing’ and ‘roasting’....

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
That sounds hevenly debunix those kind of package misspellings are so funny. Nice that you continue being a member of Obubu’s monthly tea club. Do you receive around +-12 packs per year? This morning I started with a sencha that is super strong, rich and bitter, so bitter that it might even purge so...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Really enjoy ‘03 Wistaria ZiYin (purple mark) from Nannuo Mountain, produced at Menghai Tea Factory that pedant shared with me a few years ago. Wet leaf aroma is rich and spicy almost fruity. Read some ‘13 and ‘16 reviews that mention leather, smoke, old books, basement characteristics - none of tho...

Re: Yixing advice
.... I’d be interested if anyone has come across other clays that transform when heated in a similar way to Zhuni, but are softer and slightly thicker walled teapots? Victoria I’ve come across this with all kinds of old clays, Zini/Zisha or different varieties and Hongni. It’s a general sign for go...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
After this one session, my pot has a weird stain in the lid rim and the whole pot seems slightly more gray and dirty despite multiple boiling water washes. I'm starting to wonder If some coloring was added to this tea. I dont care that this is a cheaper offering from OWT: if coloring is added, this...

Re: Yixing advice
... My experience is with antique Zhuni, .... I can provide you with some observations. First, the clay color is very distinct, being a vivid reddish orange. There is a slight sheen, but not a synthetic looking gloss I tend to notice in modern offerings. When removing the lid it sounds just like th...
