But it does beat me why the Czech Republic has such a strong pottery scene. Maybe the success of Petr Novak put a spotlight on other potters like Pavek and Duchek and now even younger potters are building its names like Sklenicka. And the scene is even broader if you put woodworks by Ondrej (Samoro...

Some even compare to the beer . Can not get head around why tea is so expensive , coz it's just a tea ;-) If I am right, Czech treat beer as food. That is why they have lower taxes on it and could sell it cheaper. Or to correct myself lower taxes make it cheaper. It is similar to wine here in Slove...

@pedant @Shine Magical Thnx!

I have a question regarding the durability of Stagg EKG kettles. I saw they are available in the EU now and I am considering getting one for my birthday. I prefer its looks over Bonavita (which is the second gooseneck kettle available here) and the difference in price is not that big (both are expen...

@gregcss very nice, thank you. So it is not a problem to store different young sheng cakes together only in their wrappers? I am just curious if cakes take over each other aromas or it is totally not worth mentioning.

@Teas We Like @swordofmytriumph thank you both. Yeah in the end I just wanna keep my cakes fresh while they last. Not really in the aging game as I don’t have the right conditions nor space for proper aging.

@Teas We Like @swordofmytriumph How big (in grams) are this Boveda packs? Are 8g enough? I am storing my sheng cakes in thick aluminium foil storing pu erh bags but recent experience with one of my cakes made me thinking if I should add some source of humidity in those bags.

So far I have only sampled some teas from Red Blossom, Hojo, and Verdant. The latter does not offer any organic teas on their website. I was a little bummed out about this because I sampled a couple of their black teas and oolongs and I really liked it. Not having the label “organic” doesn’t mean i...

They have a similar set of problems to the ones being complained about here. The rules on the sidebar are only the public rules, different folks are under their own set of private rules under threat of banning. I received my own private rules when I started warning new people about the adulteration...

swordofmytriumph I know what you mean :D. I buy things directly from him. Through the time I bought quite a few of his pieces also shown in this thread so he notifies me from time to time about his new work or if he made something I was asking for. You can check available pieces of the latest firin...

Jiri Duchek did his first firing this year. Some lovely stuff. These are some pieces I’ve acquired.

Yeah, I frequently buy tea from sunday.de. Over years they quite extended the selections of offered teas and from different regions. I tasted some really interesting Japanese black tea, earl gray white tea and a fair portion of senchas and gyokuros. Fast delivery too within Europe. My first pots whe...
