You can indicate where you bought your 110 teapot?

It was a random ebay purchase. So can't recommend a seller.

What do you all think, does it look the same?
https://www.chawangshop.com/tea-hardwar ... 110cc.html

I see that you have the same chawangshop teapot in different size? The larger size should brew tea the same. Size is your choice. You can experiment to find your favorite. I like 110ml or 150ml for 1 person. I have a 110ml teapot that is the same as chawangshop teapot. I could be wrong, but looks id...

I agree with the sentiment to continue using the teapot. As has already been said this may be a metal/iron oxide that has developed. I have an unglazed teapot that developed some spots that look like they could be metal/iron oxide. It brews great tea!

Is the flavor as rich and deep as the dark brew appears?

I would say so. Thick with a nice ginseng aroma. That was 2nd steep maybe. It's a loose tea so I was brewing quickly using 5.5g to 110ml.

1994 Hong Kong traditional storage Liu An from TealifeHK. Just really good tea.

A very nice set, that pot is 110, where did you get it?

From same place as your 45ml teapot in the first post!

My favorite teapot (110ml) for more humid stored aged sheng pu er. My favorite cup too!

A surprise find at the thrift store today...$0.45 each!

Great. I overlooked the previous question. Thanks!

Will there be a hei cha category or will it be a topic within Pu Er like on teachat? I ask while sipping a 90's liu bao

I think 1990s, non factory 1. The clay looks nice, should brew good tea

Yes, brewing well! The person I bought this from said it was given as a gift with tea purchase (as calligraphy states.) The good old days I guess. I wonder who made these for the Fujian tea company?

140ml Qing Shui Ni Medium fired Thick walled <10 sec pour (never timed, fast) Made 80's to 90's Calligraphy reads, "China FuJian Province Tea Import and Export Company Xia Men Subsidiary Gift," or so I was told Brewing aged sheng puer. The thick walls and clay type seem a good match for aged sheng; ...

A cabinet can help create a microclimate. I keep my tea in a wooden cabinet in my tea room. I've put the hygrometer in the cabinet to compare with the room. The humidity is generally a bit higher in the cabinet, which is stuffed with pu er. I open up the cabinet during times of higher humidity.

1999 Menghai region loose shou puer. Perfect on a cool autumn morning. Smooth with a nice aged aroma. Lacking in stamina however.

Another option to keep temperature up is an electric oil-filled radiator. They have a thermostat and can be set to a very low setting for constant use. You can also set a bowl of water on them to slightly affect humidity.
