Re: Online tea stores dispatching from within the EU?

For Japanese tea I’d recommend Thes du Japon or O-cha (both based in Japan) for some choice in organic tea.

Re: David Louveau

These pieces are incredibly nice to use. He really understands what the objects are made for as he also is a tea drinker. He is recently working with porcelain again. Berlin exhibition coming soon I think.

David Louveau

I’d like to present the recently acquired teaware by French potter David Louveau. He used to have his workshop settled in potter’s village La Borne in France, but he now moved to Sweden. David Louveau works with local clay mixes that he makes himself and does wood fire in a single firing process. He...

Re: Online tea stores dispatching from within the EU?

The best is to check out on the websites or to write to the shop to ask them. Shui Tang has some organic, but in japanese tea there is only matcha. I can't find the mention "organic"on Laenggasstee but I would be surprised if the had nothing.

Re: Online tea stores dispatching from within the EU?

Thanks will check it out. Ideally I'd like to source different types of tea from the same vendor for convenience but the only places online that cover a wide range of teas in one place seem to be shops like palais or mariagefreres which are on the expensive side.. & :? Exactly... and i would say th...

You can also try to boil the cup a bit, maybe adding some baking soda.

After that boil with clear water and sun dry if possible.
I was about to give you the same advice.

Re: What kind of pot do you think works best for red teas?

I think this pot is not glazed but polished, this is what makes the surface so shiny. Polished yixing-like teapots have been popular in east-Asian countries at some point, I’ve read it has been the case for instance in Thaïlande.
