Re: Cleaning and Maintain Wooden Tea Tray (Cha Hai)

Few months ago I bought really nice tea tray from Michael Vermeij and he has really thorough instructions for maintaining his (or others) wooden works. Hope it helps. “ Care & Food Safety Cleaning Hand-wash your handmade wooden boards after each use with mild soap and warm water. Wipe by hand and al...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

I started with sheng and couldn't get enough of it for 8 months or so...then I tried some decent shou and this is has been growing on me, to the point where I'm now preferring it to sheng. Although I feel like I'll swing back or at least go back to 50/50 between them. Lately I've been drinking shou...

Re: An Ode to Czech Potters

Thanks to this thread, I have a new teapot. :D I like the construction of it a lot, and it's a nice size. Since my parents are from the Czech Republic, it's nice to have a piece of teaware that I feel a connection to. I haven't felt that with any of my yixing/japanese clay pots. https://www.instagr...

Re: Electric Kettles

Jeffrey McIntosh from Denong Tea made a gooseneck kettle comparison for tea brewing (bonavita vs oxo was Stagg ekg). Maybe someone find it helpful.

Re: Electric Kettles

I got Stagg EKG about a week ago. I really like how precise it is. But it does come with a price as pouring is quite slow. If I measured correctly it needs about 5-6 seconds to fill a 100ml pot. I figure it can become a problem with larger vessels. Otherwise 10/10.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

I also just pulled the trigger and ordered a cake of EoT's recent addition, the 2001 Mengsa Old Tree Tea. Couldn't resist the temptation. Seems like one hell of a deal, if it's half as good a bargain as David makes it seem I hope there's any left to be had once I've had a taste. Anyone else ordered...

Re: Rating current matcha and finding good cost/oz matcha (recs requested)

I love Yunomi Uji Imperial Cerimonial grade matcha. It is a house matcha by yunomi.life shop. Bought it out of curiosity and it became my regular. Very sweet and creamy. I can only recommend.
