After I read your post I looked at the back of my sealer and found that it’s 150W. It takes roughly 10 sec to seal a pack. In contrast, my Bonavita is rated at 1000W.

Re: Chanting Pines
Is a 50ml teapot a good buy if you will be the only person using it? I've noticed that my gaiwans that are larger than 100ml produce too much tea for me to drink so I only go for around 5 steepings or so until I can't drink anymore :(. If I have to choose only one teapot for general use, 50ml might...

Re: Different ways to brew WuYi YanCha... what’s your favourite?
I use different ratios depending on the tea, the teapot, and my mood. In general, I found that higher ratios give more depth and greater length, whilst lower ratios sometimes show better details. I use 5.5 to 8g of leaf in my 70ml hongni generally, or 8g in my 120ml zhuni for more balanced, detailed...

If you don’t mind shincha, they’ll be ready in less than 2 months. Some people prefer more matured sencha though.

Re: For ripe puer tea drinkers and vendors...your thought on "aerial fermentation"
You’re welcome, @vuanguyen. There’re increasing number of factories that are using this technique so we can expect more of it in the market. Many people still prefer the traditional style though.

离地发酵 (off-ground fermentaion) is easier to control, less production error, and have lighter fermenting smell, making it more approachable.

Re: Chanting Pines
pantry Hmmm.. do you mean this pear? Mine has very good flow. Yes, this one. It flows all right just slow. Perhaps I'll try again. I also chipped the tip of the spout without knowing :'( The small pan hu looks really cute! I love the look. What did you use it for? I got the small da bin hu, but it'...

Re: Chanting Pines
Haha..that sounds like my father! His tea is seriously darker than espresso. I got the pear shaped one, which has a double bend spout. What did you get? Don’t try it, or you might be addicted! :lol: Well, if you do, try focus on the aftertaste. It can be really wonderful. I got a Siting and a small...

Re: Chanting Pines
Alas, the one I got is very slow pouring with somewhat small opening--not ideal for Yancha. Shapes are important :lol: Hmmm.. What’s the shape and size of the pot? With some Yancha, long steeping can make an interesting brew though. Some drinkers in Wuyi stuff the pot and steep for a few minutes! :D

Re: Chanting Pines
Different how, one better than the other or just different? Both clays have quite strong minerality compare to many other Zini. So strong that they feel harsh when new. They need some seasoning to smooth out. What is Minerality? How would you define it? Hmmm.. one of the characters is the rough, gr...

Re: Chanting Pines
I have EoT’s #1 and CP’s diamond teapots. From the look and the effects on tea, I believe they’re not the same clay. Different how, one better than the other or just different? Diamond clay is less muting, shows better details, deeper and longer aftertaste than #1. Both clays have quite strong mine...
