Re: (Rant alert) – Finance my tea adventures!

So-Han from West China Tea was doing something like this recently. He sent out an email asking for donations to fund a tea documentary or something of the sort. Not long after they were hit with eminent domain and are going to have to move their tea shop somewhere else, so the film was canceled. I ...

Re: (Rant alert) – Finance my tea adventures!

If it were at least people producing content worthy of being published and not just audio-visual pollution... but then usually the ones who are good at what they are doing, can finance this sort of thing by themselves.

Re: (Rant alert) – Finance my tea adventures!

I read that title and I got worried for a moment that your account had been hacked into... Haha, thank you for your concern... you are absolutely right, often it is better to be a bit more disconnected to avoid this kind of things. Always suspicious of people who seem to be able to talk endlessly a...

(Rant alert) – Finance my tea adventures!

Don't know if it's a subjective impression, but what's up with a recent wave of so called "tea influencers" that ask people to fund their tea travels? Crowdfunding airplane tickets and such. I mean are there not more worthwhile causes to give a little money to? Where people actually are in need. Scr...

Hi Bok. Another newbie to the forum, so I can’t send you a message. Also don’t have the insta. Any chance I can get your email? I love your pots!
Cheers

Re: Bok

two more additions coming in: – Another Changji (yes!) workshop pear shape Zhuni. Got a video only of that one for the moment, which I can not post here. – ROC Hongni. Shape is an interesting hybrid of I'd say Junde-Biandeng? This one got some damage. Volume to be confirmed, but in the 70-90ml range.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but has anyone had luck with any of the oxidation mumyois with dancong, probably going to get a joaka anyways but just curious.
That doesn’t sound like a good match to me… I’d say it’s better with aged teas.

Re: What's your tea of choice when you're sad?

Isn't it also the simple act of this tea making routine that can bring comfort? Processing an event, day, misfortune, while making tea.

Re: Seeking Recommendations for the Best Green Tea Brand to Reduce Fat.

That doesn't work. Green tea does not reduce fat by itself. No substitute for healthy nutrition and trying to break the immobility cycle and try to move as much as possible. However it can moderately help with these measures in the sense that it can aid digestion and of course if instead of a fizzy ...

Re: What's your tea of choice when you're sad?

For me the quality of the tea would be more important than the kind of tea itself... as bad/sad mood can affect brewing, I go for something that is difficult to get wrong.
