Re: What's your tea of choice when you're sad?
I’ve been having a really hard time lately because I have 2 serous problems that are difficult for me to resolve. Since I haven’t been sleeping well lately I figure it’s a good time to enjoy an evening tea session and maybe find out see that evening tea sessions don’t exacerbate my sleep difficultie...

Re: 2024 Chinese green tea thread
Seven Cups has two new teas on sale this week - First Pluck Bi Luo Chun and Lao Cha Yuan Ganlu (Old Garden Sweet Dew). Sometimes more of a particular tea is available again later but I’m “addicted” to getting the new teas as soon as they’re available. Seven Cups teas are not inexpensive but I like t...

Re: Your day in tea
I have a Horoku, a pot I bought to re-roast tea. I’ll try brewing my unintentionally aged genmaicha before roasting it.

Re: 2024 Chinese green tea thread
The past few years I’ve purchased all my Chinese greens from Seven Cups. What they’ve been doing is offering a 20§ discount the first weekend they offer a new tea or teas. Of course I always end up buying enough tea to get free shipping! I like to space out my purchases so I can drink the tea soon a...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
i've enjoyed multiple tease from them over more than a few years now, and they are my go to for Japanese greens when I have a craving for something that is not part of my Obubu Tea Farm subscription. I particularly like that they have some Tseun teas That are otherwise very hard to get, because Tse...

Re: Get in here y’all, everything must go!
I bought a pot and cup and Darbotek packed them very securely and shipped them quickly. The Yinchen Duanni pot arrived in immaculate condition and goes very well with my white teas.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
It seems there's a lot of information on buying Yixing wares for beginners, and not much on Kyusu. Anyone who has been collecting, using, and selling Kyusu would like to chime in on what you are looking for in a kyusu aside from a certain artisan and aesthetic of the piece? :) I think the following...

Re: Your day in tea
I actually use a gaiwan type grip when the water is hot so I haven’t tested the buttons. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tead Off in person but think of him fondly when I’m in Bangkok with my son and we take out pizza from the place he recommended.

Re: Your day in tea
It’s still spring here in NJ, USA, and I’m enjoying my favorite new harvest Chinese greens. I try to open only one bag at a time because I believe that they’re best if drunk soon after opening. Today I’m enjoying TPHK (tai ping houkui from Seven Cups). I have this pot that I bought back when Tead Of...

Re: 2023 Chinese green tea thread
I like to order from Seven Cups. I get some longjing, an ji bai cha (early & late) and Tai ping hou kui. I usually try at least one tea that’s new to me. Seven Cups generally offers the teas at a 20% discount the first weekend they’re up for sale. Thank you! I've considered ordering from Seven Cups...

There should be a description and a photo of each filter for each category of pot on the Hojo site.

Re: The Porcelain Thread
You get to spend more time there than I do. During my second visit I went to Baan Celadon. The work was more elegant, and more expensive, but the pots were still much too large for me. What tea would you brew in a pot as thick as the cup?

Re: The Porcelain Thread
My Inge Nielsen pot arrived today. Naturally I had to try it out immediately. The only Chinese green I have right now is a small bag of Lu’an Gia Pian, which I’m not familiar with. I’ll need to experiment with different times/temperatures but I know from my first session that the pot is a pleasure t...

Re: The Porcelain Thread
I’ve been feeling the need for a small porcelain pot to supplement the larger ones I bought from Seong-Il years ago. This thread, and a discount coupon from Etsy, inspired me to buy an Inge Nielsen porcelain pot. It’s only 80 ml, and I’m a big fan of a crackled celadon glaze. FED057E8-7361-4396-9B5C...
