TeaTotaling I knew it! I believe the clay is from the same source as mine :mrgreen: pantry Aahhh... now you’re seeing some light at the end of my tunnel.... 🥳🥳🥳 The three stooges you recently posted was a bad influence for sure :mrgreen:. I particularly like the middle one! Are those from private c...

TeaTotaling Thank you! Though I wasn't getting any promotion--just more work, less play, and same pay :? Glad to see you're active again after that short break from tea ;) I guess we got our duanni pot at about the same time. This benshan duan is currently my favorite pot--it just adds such an inte...

What difference do you feel it makes in the resulting tea? I like to use it with all black Hongcha, so simple ones. It makes it more dark chocolatey and less hay, barley and stuff like that. For JJM and other finer, more fruity black teas, I use a Gaiwan. I have yet to explore this pairing. I often...

Been slammed with work in this past couple weeks but still managed to fit in a couple sessions of Gedeng Gushu. I did a little comparison of the autumn and spring harvests from 2017 to 2019–it’s quite interesting how certain notes have deepened in just a few short years. Lovely tea!

Is the pleasant bitterness you're referring to the kind that turns into a subtle sweet taste? In Cantonese, there are two types of bitterness. 苦 (ku) and 甘 (gan). Ku is the pure bitter taste, and Gan refers to the bitter taste that turns into sweetness after the bitterness subsides. For me, 100% pur...

I'm also interested. PM'd!

I have this pot. I like it. what type of tea do you use it for? It looks like it might be a nice shape/size for yancha. I’ve been using it for yancha, and occasionally Dan cong. The size, shape, and pouring speed work well for it. Craftsmanship is very good (half handmade). I don’t own any antiques...

Also curious what you all think of this pot: https://essenceoftea.com/collections/yi ... an-tea-pot.

I have this pot. I like it.

I have been observing Denong’s prices for a few years. Their biannual price increase can be extremely high. Their 100g famous mountain cakes from Spring 2018 went from $190 to $299 in just two years

klepto Glad you enjoy the tea! That huangpian is definitely worth stocking up :lol: Re: farmer-leaf. I've had several teas from them at different price points. They offer fair values for their teas. I'm interested in their 2020 Huey Wa -- anyone tried it? I've been going through them and enjoying t...

Yiwu Mountain Tea: 2019 Yiwu Gushu Huangpian Oily mouthfeel, Buttery sweet and delicate. Considering the price of this, it could be a daily drinker for me. Thanks to pantry for giving me the heads up and pointing out some of their teas to try out. I got some teaware in the mail at the same time so ...

oh baybae baybae, how was I supposed to know?

Honestly from what I'm reading everybody pretty much was trying to say the same thing but framed it differently. - Shu pu was invented in the 70s, to feed the growing demand of wet storage puerh served with dim sum restaurants in HK - This is why some people say shu pu tries to emulate naturally age...
