in the 110 ml Taiwanese clay pot Bok sent me. An extra bonus to having that pot now, is that the master of that shop veered away from producing pots that way (& I assume, perhaps incorrectly, has taken his students with him) towards a very dull looking, unfinished style. For the unglazed inside, gl...

Victoria I meant HÖR vs Oriental beauty. For me Taiwanese high mountain black is totally apart. Ruby variety yet another. Hmm interesting, flavor profiles are not very similar imo. Why would you pair those two? I would not pair them. Just saying that if I were to compare HOR with a tea from Taiwan,...

Left Black Championship from Taiwan, Right Jun Chiyabari HOR. If that Black tea from Taiwan, is what I think it is, then HOR is no match for it! :P Do not get me wrong, both are very nice teas, but the way a Taiwanese High Mountain black is forgiving in the brewing and with its inherent sweetness.....

Since this was my first time tasting the tea, I used my typical parameters for Taiwanese oolongs: 5.5g / boiling water/ 1.75min first steep/ in the 110 ml Taiwanese clay pot Bok sent me. I like that the TeaForum community is starting to permeate throughout my tea sessions. :lol: Glad to see it serv...

No idea about the "pot rolling", but there is a "pot shaking" mentioned in another article of KZ which has also the goal of allowing the rolled leaves unfurl evenly: https://www.kyarazen.com/anxi-brewing-method-tea/ Seems to me that the goal and maybe techniques is almost the same for both. Basical...

In Naples there is the ‘ pizza police ’, if you want to call it a Neapolitana it has to be correctly made to specifications. Totally off-topic, saw a video prank, where they sent pizza delivery guys out in Naples, adding pineapple to people's ordered pizza... they were going nuts, some almost wanti...

I dare say Italians will disagree, only Pizza from Naples is Pizza!

Happy Monday, down to 180USD, plus shipping!

Yes, teapots fired at lower temperatures will not have much iron spotting. This is why you don't see as much of it on zhuni teapots, for example. Dicaoqing is a good example of a clay that was commonly fired at a lower temperature than it is today. Firing at a higher temperature was too costly befo...

I have not tasted minerals when drinking FSS, nor any of the tea that I have from Taiwan now. Maybe a hint is there but I don't catch it. I concur, Ethan. Minerality is not something that ever came to mind when drinking Oolongs from Taiwan. Even the Yan yun oolong that HY Chen made, did not make me...

Besides the texture and color of the clay, there are 4 kinds of ‘imperfections’ which can be found on true zisha. Read about it on our latest blog post: . . I think that this is mostly true about modern yixing. The lack of mica is actually an important identifying mark of pre-1977 yixing teapots. A...
