A small but cozy teahouse & shop located in the inner court of the building. Good selection of teas served gongfu. Don't expect vintage puers though. Highly recommend the place.

Recommendations and experiences about tea places in Budapest.

Right now I have none myself, but after my trip I ought to be able to chime in.

Hah nice bubble!

This is valuable info for us debating about optimum humidor parameters here in the west Do post an update when the rains start!

Here's a theoretical argument for why producers might have more incentive to adulterate teas compared to vendors. The vendor has more options at his disposal. Let's say that a vendor acquires a batch of tea that doesn't sell too well because it's regarded as boring or bland. He has basically three r...

Looks nice indeed! Crafty. Just be careful not to get your sleeves tangled up in those sticks and flip the mat away

Just received my order of some cakes and samples. It was a pleasant surprise to find the neifei in one of the samples. Probably I got the last bits of the cake. It's a small detail but a nice one, thanks :) I haven't tried the teas yet but they do have a promissing basement'y smell :D Neifei in the ...

Also, discarding the last milliliters of the cup is an easy way to get rid of any tea dust that might be concentrating in the bottom. Ps. Listen to wav...

@klepto That's a really nice looking autograph in the bottom!

Are there wine cabinets that support the more heat & humidity environment of a typical pumidor? Or maybe a cigar cabinet or something?
