Living remote in the highlands of Scotland the water is generally pretty good. However I still find that still(not mineral, i think there's a difference?!) water makes for a better tea. Will be trying a filter soon. Mineral water is pretty gawd awful. Still is water without bubbles, so not sparklin...

One of the suspects even is a former Nasa engineer, you'd think he could finance that by himself, no? If he was any good he would’ve been working for SpaceX, so he probably didn’t make mint at NASA. The crowd funding thing bugs the hell out of me too, but not just for tea related things. I see Go F...

I was also disappointed by the lack of dancong on the Gargantuan Tea site. (BTW, I think it's an American, not a Canadian, vendor, which makes a difference in terms of the shipping cost.) Thanks for the correction. What dancong teas have you tried from Hojo? And which ones are your personal favorit...

Branching out

Nice one!

LOL

Yeah, if green tea— or any tea!— led to weight loss a lot of us would be looking like Starvin’ Marvin.

My great grandmother passed away last year, and I got this kettle from her. I have no idea if I can actually use it to brew tea or not, and the only thing it says is “Made in Germany” on the bottom. Does anyone know if it’s usable? ./download/file.php?id=15010 I would look to get it tinned on the i...

Hello everyone Zhengshan Tea Industry Co. in Fujian Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve is a prime example of the harmonious combination of traditional tea artistry with environmental responsibility. Every taste is an homage to the magnificence of nature because of their dedication to sustainable...

I don't think the issue here is "are TdJ's prices too high" but rather the whole exchange rate trick where you effectively have two different menus on the table and the answer to the arbitrary question "where are you located?" determines what prices you are charged. Personally, I think some of thei...

How do you reach the station master? My local branch literally does not pick up the phone for their posted (harhar) number.

@bentz98125 - I suggest Florent’s blog.

I remember that when I was boiling tea in my stainless steel pan, it would always turn out different than when brewing in a gaiwan or in a thermos. The taste was strong, all right, but it was always kind of equalized, minty, not very interesting. Good when you want to extract the leaves quickly and...

Kyarazen sometimes sells her teas on his webshop, I feel like he has pretty decent taste in tea so I take that as a positive endorsement

I'd take anything tea related that KZ says/recommends with a grain of salt. Too much ego in that one. Some teas he has recommended in the past were junky.

Thank you for the link, I will look into it. It’s actually signed, if you are familiar with it.

The foot and texture suggest it is modern. JMHO.

For stubborn pot smells I have tried vinegar, baking soda, citric acid soaks and boiling all with pretty limited success - nothing has worked as well for me as sodium percarbonate for any kind of cleaning. Agreed! Sodium percarbonate has worked the best at cleaning for me too. I did receive a piece...
