Right, I've had fragranced teas that people ten feet away could smell! That's when you know you have a serious issue. :D How about those dancong that have evolved into a dancong that can be smelled all over the room? In 2016 have had some high grade medium roast dancong which came with very subtle ...

Thank you Bok for the mention and kind hospitality. Yes indeed we had an “explosive” afternoon... we started when the sun was still sunny and ended after the sun set. Time was too short to finish all the other teas we had... the other half was giving a clear signal that gastronomical needs were knoc...

Cupped a host of RouGui from various farms. Some made the cut, some didn’t. Topping off the session with a shot of RouGui from MaTouYan. Fresh as it should be, explosive on the tongue and soothing down the throat. HuiGan stays and lingers on as if it’s taking a stroll along the beach...

For anyone who needs an excuse to get one: There a brand new Hokujo pots out at AN, in sizes from 80-100ml, best part - with the seaweed patterns! https://i.imgur.com/vDRchFQ.jpg they look nice. go get em! :D Bok pedant Tsk tsk tsk..... poison is knee deep ..... reassuring consolation, the capacity...

I have noticed a pretty similar characteristic between ChaoZhou clay and Shigaraki clay. Especially when it comes to brewing medium roasted DanCong. Anyone had similar experiences?? I’m also pretty amazed by the ability of the clay to retain heat despite the clay’s lightweight and porous nature. Ver...

Had two really strong and satisfying 80s sheng puerh while exploring and admiring a late 50s Bamboo pot and a late 70s Flat Belly Pot. The tea had a very long lasting huigan and still packs a punch after so many years.

Take me with you next time, lol

Come!! Always welcomed!!

Cheers!!

nice displays, everyone.

i love yours, OCTO. you have some upwards-facing lights built into it? nice touch.

Thx @pedant .

I layered a run of white Christmas lights before placing the items on the counter top. Loved the lighting effects.

Cheers!

The DCQ sub-category is a relatively new and interesting spin-off clay from ZiNi. It’s a must have for those who love LiuBao or Shu Puerh. DCQ done right has great heat retention abilities.

Cheers!

Anyone is familiar with reliable sources of DCQ pots besides EoT? (Though in their price level).

EoT ?

Bok that pot screams yancha

@steanze

60s grandpa biandeng??....

I asked if she had any that werent on the site, and she said she didnt. None of the ones she has now really grab me. That’s my experience as well, somehow CZ designs are a bit odd at times CZ pot designs are pretty basic in design. I would say they are more functional than aesthetically pleasing. C...

Some motivation for the former:
My latest find, a 60s biandeng

Having tea for the first time...
It’s really bad weather here today, so I have a hard time taking a decent shot.

Great find!! Can’t wait to hear / read your stories that are coming from this pot.

Cheers!!!
