Thanks for sharing. Your work looks so good; it took me a good 15 or 20 seconds to find the new holes!

Looking cool!

I have an electronics background, and worked on sensor systems for a few years. If you have any questions or want to bounce ideas off me; I'd be happy to participate.

I have heard of members here and previously at TC using diamond tip drill bits on irregular filters, very carefully and gingerly. A simple search like this https://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=16502&p=210394&hilit=diamond+drill#p210394 In that thread one message commented on the difficulty ...

Every so often you have to forget you’ve become somewhat of a tea snob and go back to your cheap tea bag roots... Large English Breakfast Tea, cream and one sugar care of Tim Hortons. :lol: A26E45A8-1C44-4613-90D3-0AF223DE1BC6.jpeg I hear you, repost of a /r/tea_irl tEkaujH.jpg Although, today I'm ...

This reminds me of when I was little I loved to let the water from the hose flow into my mouth for a minute, then when I went back in the swimming pool I could taste the pool water's difference very clearly.

An idea I have been toying with recently is just to use a gaibei as a cup, in the end that is what gaibei means – a cup with a lid.

Quite common in Wuyishan with family members is to grab the bottom of a gaiwan and fill it up.

Nice post. I really enjoy reading posts like this, where there is proper research taking place.

If it happens it happens but it has to come naturally so I can enjoy the relaxing nature of it. A good sentiment. Many days I'll have a 5-8g session during my work day. I'll start if I have a lull to get the first few infusions peacefully. If there is no time to enjoy it I'll pass, sometimes grab a...

Glad you like the tea! It is one of my favorite daily drinker TGYs at present and it was a surprise discovery from a vendor I've bought Wuyicha from for years! IMO it's an excellent example of a classic HK roast TGY, and economical enough that you could even grandpa it if you wanted to! I'm realizi...

Those look beautiful. Are they organized by the types of tea?

I use those 45 quart clear plastic totes from Costco. At $15/3 I'm happy.

I use a sort of hybrid electric kettle. I have a small induction cooker that I put a normal kettle on. I have used the normal electric kettles, but always come back to my induction cooker. The kettle is lighter, usually better designed, and if the induction cooker breaks I don't need a new kettle, a...

I'm having some 2017 Farmer-Leaf Single Trees. Fresh, thick, great energy and very nice lingering feel in the mouth. I'm very happy that I bought a cake.

Drinking a 2017 winter harvest Lishan from colleagues at Floating Leaves. This is very fine tea. It has a good, slightly sweet entry with balanced acidity in the mid-palate. Wonderful viscosity and a long, satisfying finish. Congratulations to Shiuwen for a great offering. I've only nice things to ...

Of course, I know that it depends on many factors...I'm just trying to get the general guidelines... Months after I started experimenting and trying shou puerh, an advice from a friend about brewing time and leaf quantity was totally life-changing....Same goes for Danhongpao, for a long time I just...

Thanks! What about brewing time??

Time? The right amount. I start with about 7 seconds for most teas I drink and go from there. I think white teas I tend to brew a bit longer, but I haven't had any in a few months and can't really remember right now.
