Re: Online tea stores dispatching from within the EU?
I have a lot of trouble with customs as well, I just keep that added cost in mind when buying, if it goes through good, if it gets caught at least I was expecting it :cry: Whenever possible to keep it under the ~20eu threshold (includes shipping) it's exempt. Avoid fedex and similar services like th...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
Opened my bag of aoi asamushi from ocha, really nice change of pace from the 2 fukamushi I had before (sae and yutaka midori)
So far it's been 3 for 3 on the teas I saw reccomended in the shincha thread

Had some 2018 Rou Gui from lazycat, great balanced tea but I've been a bit under the weather lately so couldnt taste all it has to offer.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
So I finally succumbed to peer pressure and decided to get a japanese teapot :lol: Back handle pot from Tsuchihira Eiichi via Artistic Nippon, it's listed at 140ml, probably closer to 110 usable, great for solo drinking Was in need of a pot capable of brewing fukamushi, previously I was using one of...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking
Drank some of lazycattea's zheng shan xiao zhong yesterday, been craving this tea ever since I had a sample a year ago before he opened the store.
Very smooth and pleasant and a different profile from most hongcha ive had, even other zsxz

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
Where do you live that it took that long for your order. Portugal, sadly tea in general has been a problem regarding customs, not just the waiting part, but the tax part, its adding up to becoming real expensive in relation to the value of the tea. But ive learned my lesson, with o-cha it isnt too ...

Re: Korean Teaware Showcase
Sometimes Gallery Daunjae has some. And a few others to pick from. Ordering was easy and painless, good and fast service. Also seems to me that cross inspiration is quite heavy among Korean potters, so a lot of them use similar styles and methods, so if you are not hung up on Seong Il... Thats true...

Re: Longevity of Tea Leaves: Sustaining Multiple Steeps
If an hour or more will pass between infusions, I spread the wet tea out on a plate to get air. I have often found liquid in a pot that I thought had been emptied of fluids and even found pearls holding liquid inside. I do this to avoid bitterness or whatever else can ruin future infusions. I have ...
