Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Dresden. Floating Leaves Alishan Black is very nice tea. However, it is a black tea (or red tea); it isn't an oolong (although it is finished in the ball rolled fashion.) Red oolong, often referred to as hong shui is a true oolong tea that is made with higher oxidation levels than used for "fresh" ...

Re: Cleaning: Awakening & Resetting Unglazed Ceramics / Yixing
Good idea. Do you use citric acid for anything else? The only other time I have used citric acid is canning tomatoes.

Another good option to remove scale (as well as stains from porcelain) is citric acid and baking soda. In fact, citric acid is what zojirushi recommends when cleaning scale from their water boilers.

Re: Porcelain Gaiwan Comparison
I have recently started using a Jingdezhen gaiwan and have really been enjoying it. One thing I noticed is that the finish on my Jingdezhen gaiwan is more of a matte finish (which in the description was done intentionally) and not the high shine polished finish of my other gaiwan.

Re: Mei leaf
i tend to stereotype vendors to a certain extent based on their location. as a US-based shopper, the UK ranks fairly high on my mental lists of perceived overhead, cost of living, import/export duty, shipping costs, and other encumbrances. this causes me to perceive their value (quality per USD) as...
