Balthazar Thank you for sharing! What a great and simple idea! Before seeing your post, I have always thought a pumidor is too complicated to do. I am going to buy some Boveda packs, hygrometers and airtight containers. Anyone know what is the best ideal humidity to store puer teas? My tea friend t...

Finally getting teas from Emmett (Yang Qing Hao). Shipping was fast to California and only took 7 days for direct shipment from Taiwan using just EMS. First up...the 2006 Chawangshu. It's a Yiwu tea. At 85 cents per gram, is it better than the cheaper 2003 Wistaria ZiPin also from Yiwu? For me...no...

You guys/gals are freaking me out. First I have to worry about pesticides in my teas. Now I have to worry about lead in my pottery.

I wonder if there is a coffee forum like Teaforum. I also wonder if they worry about pesticides and lead.

I was in Egypt this past January before the pandemic. People in Egypt don't drink directly from their tap water. They put all of their water (tap, well, stream, etc) in clay pots overnight before drinking. This occurred in Cairo as well as all over the countryside. The owner at the Airbnb place I st...

EoT 2020 Yiwu Jiu Miao: Leather and resins in the front, sweetness and astringency in the back. I haven't had a lot of Yiwu but this isn't my favorite flavor profile but i enjoyed it due to it being different. pantry and others? What are your favorite raw puerh terroir and what makes you pick some ...

After 3 month of waiting, my teas from Essence of Teas have finally arrived. The 2001 Mengsa Old Tree was a fantastic tea! It was very sweet. I could not taste or smell any smoke. It also had good stamina. I was able to get 10 steeps. But the best thing about this tea was the euphoria. I was giggli...

vuanguyen: The Wisteria tea looks more like pure sheng (and maybe better leaf quality) to me, although it's hard to say for sure. I bought mine from TeaPals. Unfortunately I bought up the remaining stock of four "mushrooms" :) . From a quick search, it seems to be sold both as ripe and raw , depend...

Fascinating! Your video make me want to grow my own tea plant haha. Anyone know tea plant suppliers that ship to US?

Very nice video Admar ! I love your facial expression when you and your GF tasted the tea :) I grew and made my tea in San Jose, California, USA (https://www.teaforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1479) On my part, I tried to process it into an oolong and my friend told me it tasted like a young sheng :)...

For a tea that has a meaning of "tight tea", it's not tight at all :) It's very loosely compressed. This tea so different than all other Wistaria teas that I have tasted (Tai He, Zi Pin, Long Pa, Qing Teng, Zi Zun, Zi Zin, Zi Zin Yo, Tai Yue, Cing Yai, red mark and blue mark). This is earthy and me...
