Re: Awakening & Resetting Unglazed Ceramics / Yixing from Storage, Discoloration, Staining & Mold

Very old pot? Care to share? I am sure a lot of us are curious :) It's a sand mixed Zhu Ni beast (capacity is about 450ml). Previous owner indicated it's from the early R.O.C. or late Qing. I'm no expert, but comparison with other examples leads to believe this is true. I find the style used to sha...

Re: Awakening & Resetting Unglazed Ceramics / Yixing from Storage, Discoloration, Staining & Mold

Thanks so much Victoria. I used your sodium percarbonate method to rescue three pots (one very old, one 80s and one 90s) that were in a very bad state. It worked perfectly, I'm so pleased. So no more odor, they look brand new. I wish I could have kept the aged look on the significantly old one, but ...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

My TWL shipment arrived very quickly from Taiwan. I was eager to taste what I ordered, so these haven't been given much time to acclimate (they made it into my pumidor last night and had ~30-40gs removed a couple of hours later). 2003 Hong Kong Henry Co Conscientious Prescription - Now I understand ...

Re: Toss the scraps from your cake?

Usually I pick out the bigger pieces of debris and toss the smaller bits and the dust. This is similar to my strategy. I want about 50/50 big chunk to whole single leaf ratio, so I skim through the free material but only use whole leaves to make up half. Apparently it's broken leaves that increase ...

Re: Interest check: 80s Zinis

I don't see "Albums". Assuming it's because I don't have an account: I've resisted getting a Facebook account all these years (even to snoop on ex SOs), but this may be a reason to open a "lurker" account.

Thanks for the replies all. I'll not hijack this threads any further :)

If you have the F1 catalogues it is in there.
Sort of off topic (sorry to hijack) but where can one find said catalogues ?

Re: Introduce Yourself

Hello everyone. FBee on TeaChat let me know of this board's existence (and I'm pleased, my short encounter with TeaChat left me less than enthused). How long have you been drinking tea? Since I was very young (then 50% milk and sugar with an OP black bagged tea) What kind of tea do you drink? My fi...
