Re: Looking for new tea tray recommendations

I do enjoy a minimalist setup when I am brewing in the kitchen/shed/garden but when I am in my dedicated team space I enjoy a larger tray.

Re: Looking for new tea tray recommendations

I came to a realization that I dont need a big 'ole tea tray and that a small tea boat is enough to collect drippings. I got a cheaper one to start with and so far i like it more than the tray. :D

Re: The Porcelain Thread

I typically brew black tea western style and I'm looking for a larger tea pot, around 200-250ml. I am strongly considering porcelain as the material in a traditional teapot or perhaps a Kyusu. What are some reputable vendors that I should be looking at? Thanks in advance gregcss For that size of po...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

Looks great. I ordered a teapot from Hojo long ago and have since forgot how to order from them. Can someone remind me how to do that? Go to https://hojotea.com/item_e/available.htm . The price list is hidden in plain sight, just click the big banner at the top, which looks so much like an ad banne...

Is the 2005 Dayi 7542, Batch 502 gone forever? I snoozed to long and should have bought it when I had the chance.
we will try to get more, but it won't be easy to get more at that price. We'll see
Cool. I see you listed a newer 7542 so I will likely give that one a try :)

That's interesting as I have one coming from them too, using aged DCQ and a Pao Gua Hu shape. I love those yixing teapots with the round belly on them.
Nice. I am considering one of their Dou Qing Ni pots for young sheng.

Great pot, looks good! Reminds me of my Avatar pot, in a way.

What type of clay, how many ML's, where did you acquire it???
Thanks. The clay is Di Cao Qing and it's 130ml. I got it from Yann Zisha Gallery.
