Re: Is white2tea the only puer producer now?
I haven't tried much of their stuff, but their branding and lack of info really turns me off. Seasoned and experienced puerh drinkers could wade in to their offerings and read between the lines, but how are new folks supposed to learn the difference between villages, elevation, tree age, and process...

Re: 2007 Shu Favorites
Just had some 2007 GNWL tonight. Sadly, not available anymore on the English-speaking part of the web. I'd give this one a shot. I used to drink the 2007 version a lot back in the day, but that's now gone too.

Re: Is Yixing more porous than CZ??
So in this case antique CZ would in fact be not a good investment for brewing with good teas? Been toying with the idea to find an at least Vintage CZ pot for use with Dancong. I got extremely lucky and found my pot for the cost of a couple beers. Otherwise, they are not cheap, and "investment" is ...

Re: Is Yixing more porous than CZ??
In my experience, antique CZ pots have very porous clay on the interior . This makes sense, as the original CZ kung fu tea was designed to make the most of teas that were not top quality, and had some flaws to cover up. Modern CZ pots are closer to modern Taiwanese red clay and are not very porous, ...

Re: EBay seller
I'm 98% sure this is just 5000Friend under a new name. I had the same thought when I saw OldZisha: same skeezy angle as 5000Friend. Some look good online but it’s dodgy buying a pot from a photo. Even a halfway decent fake can look good unil you have it in hand. Fortunately, the “F1s” are obvious f...

Re: EBay seller
I'm 98% sure this is just 5000Friend under a new name. So if you have a good eye for picking out teapots (i.e. not for beginners), some of his stuff is ok. But always ignore the claims of age.
