@OCTO Very nice looking setup! Were these sold as cupping set, or did you mix and match yourself?

I'm still pretty much experimenting with my Yancha brewing at this point. Been using a small gaiwan and occasionally a high quality zini pot and a Chaozhou pot. Without a proper guidance, I really don't know what I'm doing. For example, I feel like I don't taste anything special from the tea from th...

@theredbaron I just sampled Cindy's old bush Milan Xiang DC, and thought it was quite nice. Very fragrant. Nice lychee aroma. A little greener than similar DC I had in the past, but not too bad. The Duck Shit one is more green I think

That pot is ridiculous! Most expensive and if you ask me most ugly teapot as welll... In regards to performance, it does not really say what the inside consists of, I doubt there are stones inside as well. Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of known material, so it's probably quite awful ...

@.m. why stop at gold?

Thanks for the offer! Will give you a visit one of these weekends

pantry it’s just a question of funds ;) Well, we are on a thread titled ‘small pockets’, so there you have it haha :lol: Victoria I got a mogake pot by hokujo. I think @bok got one last year and liked it too? (on a side note, I always feel like a creep reading all you guys’ older posts/discussions ...

@Bok It’s unlikely I could score a real Zhuni. Took me an extremely long time to even dip into Yixing-ware!

@Victoria I just ordered a 85ml Tokoname kyuusu—hope it’d do the job! With Tokoname, do you stick to one type of teas in the same fashion as with Yixing?

I’ve been meaning to visit your store and try your teas in person since I’m nearby. But it looks like you’re only operating online now?

Which part at the bottom did you recommend re-gluing? Did you mean the plastic case or the gotoku legs? It’s the bottom of the lacquer box that needs regluing. I think that the reflective insert must help it heat faster since it reflects radiant heat. Ah, yours came housed in the wooden furo! Makes...

...I only avoid it because of the pesticide concern. Hi.. can you tell me more about this? Thanks for your reply I read it from a news article a while back about some of the biggest, internationally known tea brands having the most pesticide residues in a lab test. The company even had to come out ...

I have one of those! Still need to find a furo to house it, and I'm not using a transformer (is that safe?). I like that it's quiet, but takes forever to boil. I usually bring the water to boil on a stove before transferring to this heater. IMG_0317.JPG If you get one, knock out the bottom, which is...

Ethan Kurland Thank you so much for your informative reply. Sometimes i like to make very strong tea. And i am a bit addicted to it, I'd rather not dunk 2 teabags into a Mug and look like a weirdo around my room mates. I thought it was as simple as getting it in loose leaf and heaping it into my cu...

pantry nothing keeps you from filling a pot only 3/4...

Apart from that, I find the ideal size for this kind of tea in the 60-80ml range.

Thanks! Yes, I’ve been brewing it 3/4 way, but thought it’d be nice to have a more dedicated pot for yancha
