@pidgeon_smoker Not cheap, but otherwise an excellent choice IMO. I've never thought of any of my yixing pots as too muting.

Both pots sold. Thread can be closed now.

Small: sold
Big: $120

Some remarks: - the process of making of kvevri wine is quite specific, in particular the wine is aged on skins for like 6 months - the clay from which kvevri jars are made is said to be rich in limestone and contain traces of silver, different clays would likely produce different results - my exper...

I've just received an update: it's been shipped.

This is why i made an order while in Czech Rep. to ship here, but now i'm running out of time and getting increasingly nervous. Hard life of a tea addict/hoarder.

Small one:

StoneLadle Indeed, this stuff is very common in the "west" too, usually found in chinese grocery stores and herbal pharmacies. One of my first "serious" (lol) teas that I have very fond memories of. The question was more about dating old boxes of this tea and about their quality. Would love to hear...

The paper box version are cheaper and goes for about half the price of this red tin version.

The price of the golden paper box is on par with the yellow paper box, somewhere around $2.50, substantially cheaper then the red tin.
