I drank tea in India - Indian black tea served Indian style. By that I mean strong black tea with lots of milk and turbinado sugar. Delicious, rich and so much caffeine that I couldn’t afford to make a habit of it once home.

John_B thanks for the detailed post. Even though my original post is a year old I do have another trip to Thailand coming up in March of this year. A few days in Bangkok, a week in Isan, and then some time at my son’s home. He and my dil live just 15 minutes from the train to Chiang Mai, about ha,f...

That is great news, pedant and Bok! I honestly expected correction in workmanship and design! It seems that all the issues have been resolved. It will be interesting to compare kyusu created years apart that have gone through ... transformation. I am anxious to obtain the newest generation. My TAD ...

I always assumed the glaze would be neutral but the thickness and possibly the shape could make a di...

I just paid for this cup.

I’m sad that I arrived too late.

Just paid for this tea. I’m a big fan of tealifehk Hong Kong style roast yanchas.
