The carving on this piece is done so badly which along with the asking price I consider to be an insult to the community. It's antithetical to the claimed fluid and robust sensibilities of works of master, more like clumsy attempts to imitate some such traits.

I missed the chance of getting tea from you, Ethan, that's on me. Your humble and trustworthy commucation has been much appreciated, that's on you :). I had experienced a similar set back to my tea sensing keenness, having taste getting tepid and parting with good deal of psycho active effects. Much...

Busy session brewing for a group of 10 thirsty anglers…

Paraphrasing idea that one shouldn't scoff at people's jumbled pronounciation for they likely got it from reading books, I promise to never slight people wielding large teapots, for they'd share tea with a good bunch of folks .

Drinking a Hua Zhu Liang Zi danzhu… Sunyata, your comments on the Hua Zhu Liang Zi ring close to how I percieved it. Though a better term to describe my feelings with this region would be—blown away, or stirring up a lapsing curiosity for puerh with my rookie self. On my very first exposure (also t...

Very much welcome to the tea party on the other side of the rabbit hole, DMI ! After you mentioning it, I'd probably be lavishing inquisitive gazes at those inconspicuously drinking working man's breakfast teas in hopes that they'd clue me in on the gyokuro or some other fancy leaves :). Second hat ...

Sleepy , I'd heed the Vinski 's advice and incorporate a bathing routing into one's day. Submerge it in a pot of hot water whenever you're having a shower yourself and then take it out afterwards and let it dry naturally. Don't rush it, the bonding process takes time and consideration. I'd be surpr...

Welcome, adrieent ! It's peculiar that you mention putting tea into water, where as a more common way here is the reverse =). Either way, that's just one solid reason to go on exploring world of tea and it's dwellers. Personally would be curious if you'd ever pop up in the liu bao section one day. C...

chaeric , nowsharing , please, have a pillow or pull up a chair and join in! Just had a chuckle thinking how natural it'd be here to bear dozens years of drinking time and yet take it lightly, aged and jovial. Hm, or was it the bunch of assam leaves I've just had that made me giddy, never mind. We'...

I've been having a cake of 7542 puer that had been through a rather dry stint. I worried that I might have smothered it into a bitter and angry specie. Still decided to make good for it and was cherishing it with all comfortable elements I could muster, warm and not too dry, shrouded from fluctuatio...

@Bok, I would guess @Andrew S to being humble there in putting it all on the lighting there. Admittedly, I doubt shipping the photographer would be any cheaper =).

Edit: murmuring to self, noting that there is so much priceless involved here.

Bok , if you'd ever be considering ramping up your stoneware shop, then I'd earnestly advise you to partner with Andrew S for mouthwatering shots. Admitting that with a heavy heart though since I yearn for such tender impressions to spread on the matching personal connections. The idea hasn't sprou...

Welcome, @Cyphrex! These drinks can be plenty sweet with no sugar at all, though chai is great with sugar.

That's a plenty an endearing quest you're off to, withoutAclue ! And a sincere curiosity would sure get you plenty fun and the snobs in here (they aren't real ones, just trying to be protective of the yummier supplies of tea) would give you all advice you need. If you'd ask me, I'd suggest to maybe ...

That's a beautiful article indeed. Even magical in how it entwines the ideas dear to people of all walks of life, whether one makes their tea out of teabag or with prized ancient utensils, kind of 'tea is life' angle that's still steeped in the practical and down-to-earth attitude. It being a tea re...

@Andrew S, or a stalwart bow. Anthropomorphically beautiful either way.
