Re: The Essence of Tea
Yes! Let's make tea great again :lol: :lol: :lol: I prefer the slogan: Make Tea Often :) ------------- Drinking the Chang Da Hao this morning, and I really love this tea. It coats the mouth heavily, it's almost "powdery," if that makes sense. Long aftertaste, strong energy, very impressive durabili...

Re: Smell of loofah pads
I haven't used loofahs to set under the teapot/cups, but I've used them for scrubbing pots and kettles. The ones I bought initially had a strong vinegar smell, but this went away a few days after opening the package. I was concerned at first, but now they smell like nothing really. They were also wh...

Re: Can this tea be saved?
A while back I had two cakes of sheng (pretty young, like 2007 and 2012 I think) stored in a small cardboard box. Some other cardboard boxes filled with teas sealed in foil bags and the like were stacked on top of that box, along with another cardboard box that had an unsealed cake of shou. Things w...

Incense and Tea
I recently purchased incense for the first time, and experimented with lighting agarwood while making tea. (I bought different kinds of agarwood and some other blends from Ken Cannata, who learned incense-making from Kyarazen.) I'd known that sometimes people combine the two activities, and I recent...

Re: Yancha Vendors: Highest Grade vs Bang for Buck Vendor Recommendations
Curious how you heard about these vendors? I see Ton Xin She is in Wuyishan and Shenzhen, a huge tea shopping district, and The Cha Tong is somewhere between USA and Taiwan (at least their shipping). The former was mentioned positively by Youzi in the Yixing thread after someone linked to them with...

Re: Yancha Vendors: Highest Grade vs Bang for Buck Vendor Recommendations
A couple vendors which stand out to me (which Victoria has already mentioned): Lazy Cat Tea http://www.lazycattea.com/ I've tried a few of their teas -- their "standard" Rougui, a zhengyan Rougui, and another zhengyan tea with the lovely designation "Space Cat Rougui." The first is very much a budge...

Re: Yixing
impromptuandy Nice tiny pot! ZAG has some really nice pot. What are you using this one for? Yeah, I keep an eye on ZAG's antique section, for better or worse they seem to focus on these old zhuni pots. Luckily Bok seems to be balancing that with his more affordable zisha/zini/etc offerings. :D I us...

Re: Yixing
Not that great at taking photos, but here's a Late Qing / Early ROC zhuni. Got this little pot from ZAG a while back. Around 60ml. Can't seem to get a great shot of the seal haha. Lots of imperfections from shrinkage in the kiln, but no damage. The lid hole is slightly too small (I've run into this ...

Re: FS: Qing/ROC curiosity tea pot
Hi Bok,
I don't think I can send PMs (I might be able to receive them?), but I'd like to purchase this pot.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Howdy folks. I've been keeping up with some of the discussions on the forum for a little while, but haven't posted yet and hoped to change that, so figured I'd introduce myself. How long have you been drinking tea? I've been drinking tea for about 4 or 5 years now. What kind of tea do you drink? My ...
