Re: Various Kyusu, Yixing and Sundry!

Long time no see! I’ve quit consuming caffeine after 12pm so my tea consumption has dropped dramatically. I still have a few pots for sale though, so how about some drops.

Re: Chaozhou/Shantou

./download/file.php?id=12665 That potter makes some nice things. I found the clay quite similar to vintage/old Shantou ware. This one in particular is a tad large for my taste. The bulbous shape would work a bit better were it 10-20ml smaller, but that's me. My most used pot is in the 100-110ml ran...

Re: Chaozhou/Shantou

creamy clay It’s so smooooth. Darbotek Such a lovely pot. I've been kind of glad they sold out so fast, it relieved my temptation (for the moment). Well if you happen to have a chance at one, snag it. My initial impressions are very favorable. I am waiting for some Dan Cong from Bitterleaf, so all ...

Re: Chaozhou/Shantou

Life has been a bit tough lately and I haven’t been able to enjoy tea as much as I used too. Starting to get back into the swing of things with the KZ design Kangii teapot. Beautiful piece, awesome pour and plays very nice with the sweet scent dong ding from Tillerman. 37696888-93BB-4823-A209-C2AC0B...

Re: Sheng and Shu Pu Erh - Alcoholic?

I can tell you as an alcoholic, I think not. I started drinking tea during the early times of my sobriety, mainly pu and had no issues. But I did once take two sips of homemade kombucha and immediately got a buzz and had to get the rest away from me. I can drink a whole bottle of store bought booch ...

How much and how many grams? You are selling correct?
Oh gosh I’m sorry, the teas aren’t for sale. I was just indicating what flavor profiles had been used in the pots. Tillerman still has the TGY though!

Ah tempting... Can I have more info on the oolongs please? I am interested in those for now The Muzha TGY is wonderful. The “Gold” clay did some heavy lifting with the cheapest winter 2021 Dong Ding. Made a good tea into a really good one. It’s been awhile since I had any of the HIgh Mountain stuff...

Re: Restaurant Iced Tea?

I can tell you that I am not a good source for this. I grew up in East Texas so over brewed iced tea is kinda our thing. My dad was from California though and hated sweet tea, so 50% of the time he got served sweet tea by a confused waitress and the other 50% of the the time he got unsweet with a si...
