Re: Yixing
+1 Very informative comparison Andrew S Cheers!! Patina... It's not often that we get to compare two almost-identical teapots, one used and one clean, side-by-side. To me, it sometimes feels a little bit like this part of the forum became more of an 'is it fake?' page over time, and less of a place ...

Re: The best sheng pu-er tea to try
Yep, raw pu'er has to be aged to be called pu'er categorized under black tea. Oh my…. I must have been drinking herbal greens 🥬 all along 🫢 Pure unblended 100% GuShu will be best regardless of whichever region, that will be decided on your taste preference. Then blends of GuShu + small trees. Then ...

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Two different yanchas today, one being roughly 20 times the price of the other. It's not really a comparison, since that wouldn't be fair, but it is nevertheless striking how differently the two teas present, even apart from things like roast and flavour profiles. The 'cheap' one is lovely, rich, w...

Re: Yixing
Two recent acquisitions joining the big pot clan, supposedly Cultural Revolution era pots (70s). Do feel free to point out any red flags with these, no feelings will be hurt and it's not like I'm beyond getting duped. Especially interested to hear what OCTO thinks, as I understand he has quite a bi...

Re: Perfection (related to teapots)
Perfection.... a very dangerous but yet ambiguous word in the world of teapots. Thanks for sharing master Bok . Your pots are all perfect! IMO, each of us define perfection in teapots very differently, just like our preferences for tea. Personally, I like my pots being imperfectly perfect. I find my...
