Earlier this year I started teaching myself some kintsugi and the first pieces are now (almost) ready. I’ll post some here as they come along :-) First off is a jianshui zitao pot lid, quite a small thing to fix but still lots of work. Part of the rim needed reconstructing with tonoko powder, the r...

Interesting things being discussed here. I don’t expect these $22/25g teas to be of the highest quality but than again I’m not looking for that. I’m more focused on finding yancha that is reasonably priced for casual drinking but still above daily drinker quality/price. The yancha equivalent of 07 Y...

Last call !!!!!! Mid 70’s 60ml SP $275 $225 tested this one out and it has somewhat slow pour, needs a bit of filing of air hole so discounting this since I don’t want to bother fixing hole myself. Late 70’s 140ml nzwh $110 Early 80’s bamboo sq sold Non factory 90’s sold Late 80’s Eight trigrams $80...

Sounds like a great time. Nice cups! Are those cups used for rice wine?

Thanks for replies.

@tjkdubya
Very useful information. Thanks!

I have went to sealing the ones that have age on them as well as ones that are in the sweet spot for me as well. I will admit that I have bought some stuff upper tier that I sealed as soon as they arrived. This will be for the grandson or maybe to resell later. Can you share the reasoning behind se...

I’ve filled up the cart a bunch of times but this is first time I’ve actually followed through with purchase. 175g isn’t much but should last me till January. It would be nice if one of these turned into a larger purchase seeing as I prefer yancha w/ a few years age.

Has anyone tried the 2019 selection of yancha from wuyiorigin yet?

I’ve been craving yancha but somehow I’ve avoided buying any for awhile. It’s probably a good time to stock up now that the cold weather is creeping in.

In a sense we all choose to let more drop when it comes to tea interest than we pursue. It's implied in those personality types outlined, which of course are just some patterns that do seem to work, not a clear mapping. As I see it if someone wants to stick with grocery store tea forever that's fin...
