Thank you, Bok, DailyTX, and OCTO! I appreciate the advice. Looking forward to getting to know this pot. It's humbling to think about its unlikely journey to the Pacific Northwest.

4 antique Yixing teapots have been added to the site!

Lovely pots!!!

Beyond very slowly warming them up, are there any special precautions you guys are taking using a LQER pot for the first time? (A few weeks ago I posted that I'd buy one in a few years and bought one a few days after that instead. :lol: ) Chris You have received good and sound advice from Bok and D...

Today I used 8g/140 ml zhuni. Water off the boil. 10/10/20s and so on.

What was the tea to leaf ratio last time? Seems like a fairly low ratio for yancha to me.

Nice bird

I would do 8g to 100ml water.

Cheers!

StoneLadle, OCTO please, share your thoughts about them once the party is over while you'll be cooking more water for another round :) polezaivsani We had a 11.5 hours, from 3:30PM to 3:00AM, marathon which started with fresh oolong, and ended getting swept off our feet with a string of aged PuErh ...

How are they different? 20 year old compared to 30 year old, 60 year old, etc.? The 20 and the 30 didn't taste that much of a difference but the 20 had a hint of fruity sweetness to it. At 30, the aged aroma "ChenWei" started to develop. Are you confident that the 60 year old is really that old? I ...

After an afternoon of fresh green TGY, competition DanCong, Three Kingdom Roasted TGY and a heavy meal, continued with aged oolongs to activate the palettes and senses. 20 - 30 yearold oolongs..... topped with a brew of 60 yearold aged oolong from Taiwan. Brewed in a medium fire DCQ pot.

Cheers!!

If the porcelain teapot is muting your tea... then it’s a sign I should be retired from active brewing duty. It will be a good decorative pot.

Cheers!

😍 💚 😍 💚 Lovely! Leaves look like they are straight from the farm. Beautiful green contrasted with the warm DCQ/ZiNi. What size is the pot & roughly how much leaf?? 🌱 TeaTotaling Thanks.

Came across a luni shui ping pot and was wondering whether the experts could weight in and determine its age/period. Wasn't looking for a pot, but I can't resist a good shui ping, and I don't have any luni yet. ./download/file.php?id=6233 This pot resembles a 70s/80s pot. Clay and workmanship sugge...

I'm currently drinking liubao brewed in the DCQ pot. This combination works really well.
