I’m going to try pouring the tea sap into the pot and buffing the inside too

Tea sap as in reduced tea liquor? I'm assuming you're joking about the buffing...

Most of your post seems to focus on seasoning the outside of the pot but I would think that the interior would much more strongly impact the taste of the brew? Mine? That's because there's really little I can think to do to the inside but try and deposit and fix a decent layer of tea-"stuff" on the...

I wonder if there's something wrong with your pot. Have you noticed the taste when brewing in porcelain? Nothing amiss in glazeware - def related to the pot. Whether it's adding sourness or taking away good stuff I can't be sure, but I suspect the latter. This story about this batch of zinis has be...

I recently had some success aggressively seasoning a couple of pots (internally and externally) with the following method, and thought it might be of interest. Full write-up/pics are on my blog but the process was as follows: Boil 10g of tea in a pot of water and strain out the leaf. Continue simmer...

https://deadleaves.club/2018/08/14/taobao-lottery-round-4-is-open-for-eoi/ Hi guys, we have another GB running focusing on well-regarded Xiaguan productions between 8 and 14 years old. Read the info document linked in the blog post above if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Buy-in will be $30...

Atlas - how much tea in total (in g) gets every participant in the GB3? The current (and probably final) lineup is as follows: Yichanghao 2004 Laochen's Teapot Jinzhushan 10g per person Yichanghao 2005 Gedeng Zhenpin 400g Yichanghao 2005 Banzhang Fortune 400g Changtaihao 2005 Laochen de Cha Bulang ...

Thanks, Victoria!

I'll post up now.

As an aside, the GB3 rerun may have one free slot (60USD) if anyone's interested.

Nah, I tried to get fancy with it while it wasn't wet enough and it broke, so I tried as best I could to make it workable.

Real shame, since I love how the glaze on that one came out.

At the risk of embarrassing myself here, I've been focusing on shibo and kyusu forms (as an amateur ceramacist) and have once again found myself replete with teaware. If anyone is interested in any of these, I'm considering offers on all of these. Bear in mind these are student-quality pieces - whil...

Little background - I'm about as secular a person as you'll meet, I also came into pu'er rolling my eyes into the back of my head whenever I heard a comparison between qi and cannabis or opioid-like effects. I figured it was coming from people with limited-to-no experience of either. I don't meditat...

Hi, unfortunately I just joined and can’t PM. Do you still have this kyusu set? If so, I’d be interested in it. Please PM me (though maybe I can’t reply either).

Hi pipejq02, drop me an email at alexdunnmobile AT gmail. It's still available.

I asked about the added heat because, I think it was atlas who figured out with added heat, when you open it, the change of temp caused condensation then mold to form, but don't think you'll have that problem. I have some updated observations, but the takeaway is that while I still think that was a...

... Presuming you've checked the excel sheet and read through the info doc, PM me your name, username, US/Intl status, and whether you'd like like the std set or BZ too, and I'll add you to the ledger and distribution list for future rounds. My email is atlasairborne at gmail. Anyone else who's int...

Hah, hi Jay, I wondered if that was you!
