TeaTotaling Zhuni textures as I mentioned above, are diverse... no one fits all answers. Do you have any specific markers you look for when determining if a Zhuni is of good quality? With antiques it’s almost impossible to know until you try the pot, due to the large variety of blends and differenc...

Now... speaking of zhu ni, surprisingly thick clay, etc... this seems as good a time as ever to post my other "Is it fake?" Question is, fake what? It is a real teapot.

I thought he mainly got stuff from TWL. I think klepto might have only got his LQ/RoC pot from TWL. Sounds like his Puerh may have come from D-Boy Donny Mei's magical Gushu tree, which could explain the circumstances. Mei leaf? How bad can his stuff be? Wish someone could just spell it out.

Cheers!! ./download/file.php?id=8276 Quite the fiery specimen you have there 🔥 😅 A couple questions come to mind after a recent encounter with a modern made Zhuni, us...

OCTO Someone heard your call from the Zisha depths, and is going to be celebrating soon!! Happy tea drinking, full steam ahead 🚂. Cheers, good buddy! Jules_Ludwig You know a good clay when you try it! The tea tells the story. Celebrate good times, friend 🥳 pantry Nice to have you back in the mix 🙂 ...

Update Will consider shipping outside of the US, if needs be. @teamagi keep me posted.
