What kind of excellent things are you gonna do with this excellent pot, sir?
It has worked well with aged and young raw, and ripe puer. I'll probably dedicate this one for aged/semi-aged raw puer.

Re: Teas We Like : By and for Tea Lovers

Is the 2005 Dayi 7542, Batch 502 gone forever? I snoozed to long and should have bought it when I had the chance.

Re: Yixing advice

I have a Dou Qing Ni in 100ml!! Love my pot but am actually the opposite —wanting something bigger 😂 Maybe you and I can trade haha I think this little green pot makes the best fresh sheng puerh so far. Better than any other pots I have. I just wish it’s a tad bigger! I'd like yours and mine :D. I'...

Re: mud and leaves

How do your DCQ and TQN pots compare for aged sheng OR young sheng? I find dicaoqing mutes some of the flavour more than TQN does. I would say it depends on what kind of young sheng and your personal preferences. I prefer to use zhuni or porcelain for softer, smoother young sheng. Stronger stuff do...

FS: Early 2000s Hong Ni Yixing Teapot

Purchased from ChaWang Shop in 2016 and have used it since then. I cleaned it out using crystallized citric acid as is recommended, though there are some spots the brush could not reach. I'm sure a small sphere shaped brush will get it. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional pictur...

Re: Yixing advice

I have one of the YZG DCQ pots made by Shen Ye Qin. I've been using it with early 2000s sheng and am very happy with it; the tea is smooth, full, and sweet every time. It's almost effortless. Others here know more than me but I'm very satisfied with my experience. I haven't used a Yinchen DCQ pot, ...

Re: Yixing advice

I've have a few pots that I use today: Early 90s F2/F5 dark zini that the vendor noted more porous and different than other purple clay . I use this once in a while for aged sheng. It's a bit small (75ml) but is a little too porous i think. Early 2000s Hong Ni . Vendor noted private order in an afte...

Re: Yixing advice

I was looking into a Di Cao Qing + Duanni pot for aged sheng (10+ years) but now I'm not sure. Why not? It's all I use pretty much and it's all I drink most of the time.. A number of responses here suggested it's not a good match. Thanks for the confidence boost though. Maybe I'll give it more time...

Looking for new tea tray recommendations

I've been using a bamboo tea tray for the last several years which has worked great, but will need to be replaced soon. I am looking for a larger tray to comfortably fit at least 1 cup, 1 pot, and one cha hai pitcher. So something around 40cmx30cm (15inx10in) or a little bigger. Some of the trays I ...
