Re: Yixing
Hello people! I’ve got an idea and can’t let it go for quite a some time, so decided to discuss it here. What if a teapot was used hard and was left neglected, or served as an ink reservoir and looks really messy, totally black and greasy inside and soaked with ink flow traces outside heavily, how ...

Re: Thinking about how to get your tea to please you the most it can
I'm with leave the party when it's at its best – same as I tend to eat the part I like most last of a given meal. I'd like to keep the best taste in mouth, ideally lingering there for a while. If I go past that, chances are it gets washed away and dulled.

Re: What is "Crimson Pearl Oolong?"
Pearl being a bit unusual term to describe that it's a rolled leaf oolong. Lack of description and details let me think this is a generic, mid-low level offering.

Re: What is "Crimson Pearl Oolong?"
My local tea store sells this tea called Crimson Pearl. I have no idea what this is. It says it's a "deeply fermented" oolong tea, and that it's red in color. Although it's pretty easy to tell that it's been heavily oxidized, I still want to know where it's from before I make a purchase. Can anyone...

Re: Sun Moon Lake Red Jade T-18 Black Tea
Shan Cha is also usually a good bet. Shan cha can be tricky as it is (if true to the word) wild tea. So difficult to control or predict the outcome. Which is why it is usually only processed either as white or black tea(hongcha). Sri Lanka also very good and nice tea. I think I mentioned this ancdo...

Re: Sun Moon Lake Red Jade T-18 Black Tea
Same here. More likely to be dissapointed than satisfied with Ruby Black teas... There is a lot of scam going on with this famous tea, some farms at the lake do sell imported Sri Lanka black as Ruby. Finding a palatable one that is not gag inducing or stomach destoying is tough.

Re: Yixing
That would look more like bright orange in my experience, this one looks too red.

Re: Yixing
60s Hongni, well used for years, vs spanking clean.
Looking forward to bring the Bianyuan to the same level.
