I spent a good amount of time with the gaiwan that TWL sells. Its one of the best gaiwans I own, the pour is fast and narrow which is important. There are expensive gaiwans out there that have a wide pour that can splash boiling water on your fingers. The lid makes it easy to make a small opening f...

Cool. I see you listed a newer 7542 so I will likely give that one a try

Yes, we did quite some homework to select this one. Solid tea.

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

Hi! We have added two new teas to the site! The 2010 Dayi 7542, batch 001, is in our opinion the best bang for buck 7542 right now. The Qing Xiang 25 years aged oolong is an exceptional example of well stored aged Taiwanese oolong, with fruity and floral notes. In addition, we have restocked the 199...

./download/file.php?id=6379 I find my finger get scorched when either or both A and B are too small. A narrow rim beyond the gaiwan lid (A too small) , even if the lid fit is low inside the rim, isn't enough distance for my sometimes shaky fingers. Similarly, if the lid fit is shallow inside the ri...

Chadrinkincat Nice pot!! Thank you Teas We Like for such a good buy!!! Cheers! Thanks for the approval OCTO !! Nice picture Chadrinkincat , looking good. Wood fired, stone ground zini should be a bit muting initially but mid-aged sheng should be a very good fit. This pot is not low-fired so it shou...

With all the talk about Global Tea Hut and aging Oolong in recent posts, I was excited and motivated to purchase some aged oolong from GTH. I bought their 1998 Cloud Freedom from Lishan mountain. Shipping was super fast. Less than 5 days. Unfortunately, the tea was not great. I experienced this sou...

If I may ask, do you plan to have other sizes, clay types and/or styles later on?

Yes, we are working on it!

Would love to hear how does it make tea compare with 60-70s F1 QSN. :D Time to do some tests with the Qing Shui Ni pot with stone ground clay... Based on my tests so far is comparing very well, it is slightly less muting. In terms of clay texture and color it is a bit more similar to a ROC flat jul...

Where is the like button

Here's a view of the clay texture - it's harder to show it in pictures, but on the bottom with a bit of water it shows quite well the different particles...

It's a shame Chunghwa Post doesn't seem to have any plans to open shipping to my destination anytime soon

Yes, we hope shipping resumes soon!

Light fermentation or no fermentation? I thought "sheng" in the context of heicha usually referred to teas that had underwent shorter/less intense fermentation. So not quite the same as sheng puer. From my own (limited) experience, the raw liubaos I've had has still tasted like they have undergone ...
