IMG_9818.jpeg starting today with some Yume no Ukihashi gyokuro from Tsuen tea via O-cha. I just love the routine and the calming and the focus from picking out today's infusion vessel (small pot by Petr Novák), teacup (yunomi from Yamane Seigan), and the graduated infusions from quite cool to near...

I'm not really looking at it, the same way in terms of performance of the clay as many in this part of the forum. I started out with some very plain and inexpensive tea pots and other brewing vessels that I bought strictly for functionality, but then I got interested in beautiful tea where to add en...

it would definitely be sad to waste precious DYL with poor brewing technique!

Was it as delicious as it looks?

wow, very excited to hear that there's somebody on the forum who also mills their own flower. I've only met a couple other people who do that and cook with it. But as far as making tea using boiling water and a pot, I think there has to be a solution with pots with a good lid design that allows enou...

Today I pulled my 2005 Menghai "early spring" tuo out of the Sheng tub, and prepared the giant 2 L thermos full of it to bring to the office to share. I think I put in a bit more leaf than I really needed to because it was getting a fair bit bitter towards the end of the afternoon, but it remains a ...

I over bought in the past because I was always afraid that I would not have many more opportunities to buy from them. But I've not been disappointed when I opened the pouches and packages after long delays. Even the green teas I have bought from them have kept remarkably well. I first discovered Art...

The reset definitely made a difference, because since then, it's working much better. I'm not sure it's 100% perfect (I don't always take notes or log every time it happens) but I don't need to replace it yet. This was the key I needed: FWIW, I've had my Stagg EKG from the KickStarter for six years ...

One of my Staggs is still going strong, I think now about 4 years out. The others both developed this same fault early, within the first year, and it is getting worse. I've just done what I hope is a proper reboot/reset, and I'm running it through it's paces now to see if this has fixed the issue. I...

I did find instructions on resetting the kettle: hold down both buttons 10 seconds, and 'factory reset' appears in the window. tap the power on button to confirm. The screen changes to give you an option to 'cancel', I guess while it is resetting. Then it is supposed to restart in a few seconds, but...

FYI, Fellow does sell refurbs - $132 for the Corvo (for tea) or the Stagg for pourover. https://fellowproducts.com/collections/refurbished-gear FWIW, I've had my Stagg EKG from the KickStarter for six years now - still going strong except for the temperature controlling circuitry needing a reboot a...

Another Fellow Stagg EKG kettle base has developed the same fault as before: I've now had three Fellow EKG kettles, and while the second one purchased is still going strong after about three years, the first one and the third one both developed the same problem after just a few months of regular use...

I have just been enjoying one of them more unusual teas that I got from Morning Crane in 2021, a Ddeokcha that is something I had never even heard of until I saw it as part of their offer and that has been quite interesting to drink. Without going into great detail about the tea now (because I am no...

very good to hear!

I do not think I have ever had a truly high-quality Biluochun. And, I probably have never infused them as well as someone who is experienced with the tea would have done. I remember mostly cooked green pea flavor with very little of the floral and fruity notes that you describe, and that I have enjo...

I keep wondering if we should move to another site vendor.....because I have been here since the beginning and will stick through the gateway errors--but I worry it will discourage new members from joining or staying. Let alone this can happen while writing the post which is not gonna be saved and t...
