Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

I love your trays. I hope you continue to make pieces without the indented tea pot area. I am left-handed and it keeps those ones off-limits. Definitely considering one of the others though

Re: Collecting "falling out of love with pu'er" stories from Blogspot

@Maerskian seconding the request for pictures! I have been following along with your story of stockpiling tea for a bit. Some pictures would be amazing. I am greatly curious and enjoy your updates very much.

Just picked up a bunch of samples. I am jealous of anyone that lives near this spot!! They have a really cool and legitimately interesting selection.

Re: Making fake tetsubin water for cheap - just add iron egg!

Since we're on the subject of iron and tea brewing. I am curious if anyone knows whether or not a noticeable amount of the iron in the "iron rich" water from a tetsubin (or iron egg containing kettle) will actually be absorbed by the body after having brewed tea. I've been reading a bit about how t...

Re: Making fake tetsubin water for cheap - just add iron egg!

powersnacks Apart from the rust, if you enjoy the added value of iron to your water, I would on the other hand want to avoid the flavour contamination of a plastic water kettle :mrgreen: Could it be that the rust is from the egg and attaches itself to the stainless? I'd also be concerned if the boi...

Re: Making fake tetsubin water for cheap - just add iron egg!

Also, that iron egg is probably messing up the plastic kettle because it's sitting on the heating element. It's conducting heat from the element to the plastic wall. I believe that! For the first brew of the day, I can wedge the egg to the side. But after pouring water, the egg slides forward :lol:

Re: Making fake tetsubin water for cheap - just add iron egg!

Interesting product. Thank you for sharing! I'd be more careful about the plastic kettle getting melted by the egg though, since iron can get really hot! I am also worried about this. In fact, I think that's the main reason I'd switch over to a testsubin (instead of just doing this forever)! But......

Making fake tetsubin water for cheap - just add iron egg!

For a while I have wondered about the "tetsubin water" phenomena. I talked with a few tetsubin users who all believe that tetsubin water is better. Even James from TeaDB claims that the water is better, but isn't able to describe it. To find out more, I bought this iron egg on Amazon . For two weeks...

How to brew Bigfoot Style (Illustrated)

In this post I will demonstrate how to brew Bigfoot Style. Bigfoot Style is defined by Jason D in his review of the 2019 XG Sweet Ripe. Jason's method is quoted extensively in this post as I dutifully replicate this exciting new method for making tea. Shout out to the other fans of Jason D. in the t...
