My poor porcelain ware, it can't compete

I noticed something tonight, the other day I brewed some yancha with my lqer pot and today I brewed it with some run of the mill porcelain gaiwan. The lqer pot gave it more body, it was a measurable difference. TBH it tasted a bit better too

that's only the beginning...

I came into TF not knowing what all this teaware was about and then I dived head first. Drowning, then learned to swim and now learning mandarin. What gives?! :D I'm deep in the hole with the rest of you now. :mrgreen: Not yet, you are still in clear water, we're down at the bottom stuck in the muc...

klepto I highly recommend this pairing as well. It wasn’t my initial move, but I came to the conclusion after all, golden. klepto Don’t discount YanCha too.... 😁😁😁 Most of my small sized ZiNi are pretty much dedicated to YanCha and Aged DanCong.... don’t worry abt the pot being too big, it’s a bonu...

klepto nice one! I thought it might have been you who snatched up that one! I’d divert from your usual Puerh and give roasted or aged Oolong a try :) old Zini works wonders with these... klepto I highly recommend this pairing as well.

klepto Welcome to the club!! Nice of you to join us 🕳

Looks good! Curious to hear how it performs compared to your other pots. How many ml's?

@klepto

It’s a party down here in the 🕳..... welcome! Welcome with open arms!!!

I have a very basic question: How do we measure pot wall thickness? Is it at the spout or at the rim? Also, what are the mm ranges for: Thin, medium and thick? LeoFox I am on the same boat as you, and have yet to find a metric. Something I noticed is weight of the pot in comparison to how much liqu...

no idea.. hahaha.... never measured mine...

Agree with @Bok.

Don't have to get a dedicated teaboat or tea tray. I have friends using a plain granite grinding block paired with a shallow bowl.

Cheers!

Something I'd like to point out is that OCTO and StoneLadle both live in Malaysia. In my experience, here in Texas, and in the experience of Marco up in Toronto, airing out is a bad idea compared to just resting it in storage conditions. The low humidity is such that, once you leave it out for 14-6...

I'm not surprised if you say that you don't care but to say no one does is far fetched... Mainland tea drinking is far behind the rest of the world anyways... Like everything else Second that, 1000s of Taiwanese, Malaysians and other Huaren would wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. What is...
