Re: What is "Crimson Pearl Oolong?"
My local tea store sells this tea called Crimson Pearl. I have no idea what this is. It says it's a "deeply fermented" oolong tea, and that it's red in color. Although it's pretty easy to tell that it's been heavily oxidized, I still want to know where it's from before I make a purchase. Can anyone...

Re: Sun Moon Lake Red Jade T-18 Black Tea
Shan Cha is also usually a good bet. Shan cha can be tricky as it is (if true to the word) wild tea. So difficult to control or predict the outcome. Which is why it is usually only processed either as white or black tea(hongcha). Sri Lanka also very good and nice tea. I think I mentioned this ancdo...

Re: Sun Moon Lake Red Jade T-18 Black Tea
Same here. More likely to be dissapointed than satisfied with Ruby Black teas... There is a lot of scam going on with this famous tea, some farms at the lake do sell imported Sri Lanka black as Ruby. Finding a palatable one that is not gag inducing or stomach destoying is tough.

Re: Yixing
That would look more like bright orange in my experience, this one looks too red.

Also, is that a hairline front left side? Opposite the sticker.

Re: Yixing
60s Hongni, well used for years, vs spanking clean.
Looking forward to bring the Bianyuan to the same level.

Re: Western Unglazed Teawares
I’ve seen this lid hole in handle design in Taiwan before, not sure if it originated there or just coincidence.
The pot above still looks like it’s on the student level.
You might also browse the European pottery threads, quite a few of them use unglazed clay.

Re: Yixing
Hello! I have a question for people with a lot of Yixing experience: Do you think that useful statements can be made about Yixing pots made in different 20th century decades? Let’s say you were standing in front of, for example, Zisha Art Gallery in Singapore, as in: a reputable vendor, to ignore s...

Re: Yixing
@OCTO what can I say, it consistently performs above average with oolongs of all kinds, even among 60s Hongni, this one seems to come from an even better batch.
