I've been pondering on the same problem. One thing that I've been thinking of, but never tried, so cannot say if it could work, is to use lead-free solder (tin/silver) to fill the hole or recreate the missing piece. It would probably not hold in place by itself, so some kind of epoxy glue would nee...

Since it is the spout, I’m somewhat worried about about jbw (should I?). what are your concerns? A common way to fill caps among luthiers is to use a mixture of baking soda and cyanoacrylate adhesive (aka superglue). The result looks similar to ivory, is nontoxic, tough, and able to be sanded. that...

do you have a pic of something you're considering repairing? if jb-weld is acceptable, it can often be used to fill gaps. one or more of the following techniques may be helpful: using a form (masking tape? construction paper?) thickening by waiting about 30 minutes before using using an aggregate (s...

i agree, gaoshan is best enjoyed within a few weeks of opening it. imo about the most sensitive teas are japanese greens (matcha probably #1 most sensitive). it's a shame, but because of that, i try hard to only have one pack of gaoshan or sencha open at a time. however, the effect of degradation (o...

thank you

great article. i enjoyed reading it, and i can tell you spent time researching and writing it. in a comment, you mentioned qing xin da mou (distinct from qingxin wulong ). is that the typical cultivar used for dongfang meiren ? do you know if da mou is commonly used in taiwan for other teas too? tha...

item location? do you ship internationally?

i'm inexperienced with puerh, but i have tonged, in chronological order: 2007 Yibang Cha Ma Si “Mansa Wild” this was a tea from one of toby's curated box things. tasty with a distinctive animal musk aroma (like ferrets). it wasn't that expensive, and it's a nice daily drinker. something i've come to...

Essence of Tea carries now a selection of very traditional pewter tea trays/boats. I have been looking for one for at least a decade, but the old ones are super rare and nobody sells one. These ones here are new, but made in the old way :) https://essenceoftea.com/collections/tea-trays-and-plates t...

no longer necessary to go looking for it in the 'quick links' menu.
