Re: Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
Hmm, I should give that a try on my busted-to-heck gaiwan and see if I have the talent to apply it in an aesthetically-pleasing way.
That said, the powder is relatively expensive, even the faux stuff.

Re: Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
I personally would not have put the JB Weld on. Now you are probably getting a dose of BPA with every infusion! WIth all due respect, no I'm probably not. Think about where the JB-Weld is, how much surface area is in contact with hot water, for how long, and where much of that water ends up ( outsi...

Re: Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
... Happy to say it now pours nicely and the lid seals to the point that the lid-hole can stop the flow. The ugly little teapot that could. Now I just have to get a round file to clean up the acute surface on top of the lid... https://i.imgur.com/b0EFZNhg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QsWKlbp.jpg

Re: Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
So...any conclusions? (lmk if you decide to return it -- I've been looking on this guy for a couple of weeks ;) ) Hah, bad news, I've decided to keep it after all - it's playing real nice with the majority of the teas I've tried it with so far. Got it prepped for surgery - poor little guy needs a p...

Re: Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
I'm going through and brewing all my super-familiar teas with it; so far it seems to be performing well with them, but I'm no amazing connoisseur and the effects of suggestion are not to be underestimated. Only issue is possibly size. 60-70ml pots cooler faster than something around 100ml so you wig...

Suitability of (this) high-fired hongni for mid/aged sheng?
Hi all, I've bought a pot for primarily 15-20yo pu'er - high-fired late F1 70s hongni as far as I know- but a friend has suggested that it may not be the best choice for relatively mature teas. I have the opportunity to return it. https://imgur.com/a/DkNEaUx While I am able to test it with some of m...

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/...
