Re: Aging puerh: what is your setup?
Hi, 1 month ago i put into my pumidor the HuangPiano by W2T ( December teaclub), when it arrived, it was so funky ( in taste and aroma). But now, all my tea have that aroma, how do you deal with that ? ( I put the cake out the pumidor for now ) I'm no expert but perhaps take all your cakes out to l...

Re: Your favorite Dan Cong vendor?

They are now faking research statistics too? :) I don't know. What is your knowledge about that? please share:-) I've no know...

Re: How much tea do you consume per day?
I suppose tea does for plants something similar to what vegetable and plant compost does - provide them with nutrients. I collect tea rinses to add to my watering jug on occasion.
I suppose most types of teas can be cold steeped overnight in the fridge, I've little experience with it though.

Re: Clay properties of different periods
Logically speaking, I would expect modern porcelain to be significantly better than antique, due to superior manufacturing technologies currently available and the knowledge and experience current artists have gained from the past. Not necessarily. Knowledge also has a tendency to get lost, especia...

Re: Recognize this seal?
I have not seen exactly the same seal, but it reminds me of round coin-shaped seals with dragon design that show on pots (as well as on many « fake » or copies) initially made for export to India in the years 1880-1890. Maybe someone else has more info about this. Chinese pots made specifically for...

Re: Clay properties of different periods
... Or is it something more vague? I can compare it with another teaware with which I am more familiar: antique porcelain, which in my experience has a very subtle advantage to it. I notice the difference drinking from a new cup and an old Qing one quite clearly and it helps my tea enjoyment. In th...

Re: Top electric kettle
If under a year, surely you can get it replaced under warranty. For a work kettly, wouldn't in be better to get a small simple sturdy one with no fancy features?

Re: Alternatives to tea jars for airing out roasted teas
https://teaware.house/collections/tools-and-tea-accessories?page=2 Currently 3 tea jars of 150ml and one of 280ml volume in stock for $8 and $13 respectively. Small sizes should be fine for airing out as you can keep the bulk of the tea in the original packaging and air out a little for immediate dr...
