Oh that's too bad. So many true craftspeople are inaccessible to a non-local audience. I don't blame them, but it's a shame how much of what is accessible is mass-market or amateurish.

If you ever decided to purchase some of his pieces for sale to the global community, I'd love to buy one.

Thanks to both of you! I'm checking out Inge's pots and they look lovely. Most that appeal are sold out, but I'll see about writing to her and finding out what's newly coming out of the kiln.

wildisthewind We noticed you created multiple identical topics in three forums. No need to do that. If you prefer we can move your post to Teaware/Miscellaneous and you can add to your OP that your search includes China, Taiwan, Japan, and other regions. Just let me know. Sure! If that's the protoc...

Is that Ishida cup still for sale?

Victoria thanks and also thanks for pinning it! I got a few more wood pieces waiting to reveal their shape... if one were to try to invent these shapes the sea and wood created on purpose, one would surely fail - it never ceases to amaze me. Below a set made by a wood artisan in Taiwan, I’ve posted...

Open budget is just to get unrestricted recommendations from people here. I'm not looking to get something made custom.

And yes, please only reply to one. I figured people in Japanese teaware would have different experiences & reference points than those browsing Chinese Teaware.

So, I'm looking for a pretty specific, less typical teapot and thought people here might have suggestions. It should be glazed or slipped on the interior, and made from stoneware (not porcelain, unless it's a weird atypical extra thick porcelain). It should be handmade, not slip-cast. It can be eith...

Thanks, Victoria!

Do you folks have any go-to suppliers for dried flowers that are reliably fresh & flavorful? I'm probably not buying huge amounts, but if I can get a better quality harvest from a wholesale supplier than a retail web-shop, I'd consider that. For the record, I'm particularly interested in sourcing li...

Did you try this e-mail adress : admin@lifeinteacup.com ?

My last order was in june 2021 using this adress e-mail, I enjoyed their green teas too

Yep, that's the email address I used. Bounced back.

Trying to order from lifeinteacup.com. Their email address is bouncing back, but the website is still up - does anyone know if they're still in business?

I know it's a vendor, but they were my go to for Chinese greens, so I'm posting here.

I can't speak to those Dan congs specifically but I enjoyed the traditional tgy's sold by W2T. And also liked a number of other teas I've gotten from him. I've tried them both - definitely the genuine item. Not sure if I prefer their Xing Ren or Cindy Chen's, they're good in different ways, but the...

Definitely one to add to the list! But he (or she?) seems to make some controversial statements on clay, which a lot of other experts can agree on. Most notable some red clay from Japan that performs as well and better as Yixing clay... he (akira hojo) for sure has a lot of interesting and controve...

I've not loved Yunnanese greens, myself, but was blown away by the huangshan mao feng & anji baicha from "life in a teacup" - highly recommend checking out his 2018 offerings.
