Re: da yu ling tea vendor list
Absolutely excellent quality. It needed to breath for a few days. I find this is common for good, fresh Gaoshan. Ive been drinking it almost daily. It doesnt have all the sweetness that I used to get in the higher elevation stuff we used to be able to get (perhaps my memory is rose tinted). Middle o...

Re: da yu ling tea vendor list

You should add Taiwan Tea Crafts to your list. They are probably my favorite, if I cant go direct to a farmer.

Re: Porous/absorbing clays and high roasted teas
How about chens heavy roast dong ding that everyone raves about? Thats considered high quality by all, right? Good enough, yeah.

Re: Porous/absorbing clays and high roasted teas
I prefer a lighter roast, I will always try a roasted tea out with a high fired clay, but if I find the roast overpowering, I will use a dark clay. Ive had plenty of teas that people here would call "high quality" that end up in my zini Maybe those people did not have the „other“ high quality to co...

Re: Anyone ever bought Chinese greens from Tea Trekker or Seven Cups?
I bought longjing from all the top places last year. 7 Cups was on the list. It was one of the top quality vendors. Good stuff.
