FS- 120mL Hongni Shuiping

I'm looking to sell a 120mL hongni shuiping pot, which I purchased from a user here (Kale) around a year ago, which they purchased from the Tea Masters Blog/Boutique. Single hole filter, high fired, medium-thick walls. The spout is a bit cockeyed, and there is a very small chip in the spout, but oth...

I'll take pot #6! I love the look of the clay and the inscription under the lid

Re: Hand made silver pots?

That sounds really cool! I'm not a fan of the gaudy decorations on most of the silver teapots that I've seen.

I don't know anything about making them though; do you have any experience with metal casting?

Re: Accelerated seasoning success

Well here is another suggestion (I kid you not - this guy had exactly the same problem with this zini, but looks like he found a solution) @Atlas - looks like it performs not bad at all here. https://imgur.com/0JwDiuP Here is his post on reddit which is also here somewhere https://www.reddit.com/r/...

Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

It's been a while since I've drank an Earl Grey, but Andrews and Dunham's "Mount Grey" used to be my favorite .http://www.damnfinetea.com/mount-gray/

Also Harney and Sons has several Earl Grey variations that are supposed to be good.

Re: What packaging is best for packing tea?

While I understand that vacuum sealing is the best way to preserve freshness in the greener oolongs, I REALLY like having a resealable pouch for the tea once it's open. For teas other than green oolongs I definitely prefer a resealable pouch.

There are a few smaller teacups. If the package I'm waiting for gets unstuck from customs then I'll be able to show you ;)
Ooh, I look forward to it!

Re: Does teacup size matter?

While I don’t have any specific reasons for it, I prefer to drink from teacups around 40mL, it just feels right to me.

Re: Hagi

I love the look of hagi wares, but being as I'm not particularly into Japanese tea I've never really looked into them before. Do hagi artists ever make smaller gongfu sized teapcups, say around 40mL?

Re: Yixing

Sorry, I have no idea. I never encountered something similar. Is it a new pot or an old pot? Did you try scrubbing the inside with baking soda? I think you've cured my pot! Today I soaked it in a water/baking soda mixture for a couple hours and then scrubbed out the inside. 90% improvement, I think...

Re: Yixing

Ok yixing lovers, I'm in need of some help... I have a late 90's zini shuiping that I recently got from Chawangshop (I posted a picture a page or two back), and for some reason it's ruining my tea. The first time that I used the pot I did not notice it, possibly because I was drinking cheap yancha i...
