Cats definitely lift the tea setting....

You will find considerable discussion on variable-temp kettles in several topics here such as this one about electric kettles . To be flexible in different settings, I stick with electric kettles where I can adjust the temperature easily. I currently use Gourmia and Bonavita gooseneck kettles plus o...

My tea station includes a place to work on my computer nearby; programmable temp electric tea kettle, tea tray, brew vessel(s), bowl/cup(s), tea scoops, tea whisk, and a scale is nearby if needed (mostly for comparative tastings or reviewing a new tea for TeaForum these days). I fill up the kettle, ...

It's not only a question of cost: it's a question of availability too. Are you willing to restrict yourself to teas whose growers were able to get--or claim to have gotten--organic certification? Many small farmers (and of other crops, not just tea) find the cost of being certified too expensive, an...

I'd grab some of that if my puerh trunk were not running over....

I would be curious to know what you think a...

Drooling

Well said!

I needed a lot of handholding to get started with many teas, but now I'm comfortable with a lo more flexibility built on that transmitted-from-authority base.

Copy paste from farewell message works, though

pots/kyusu, shibos, chawans, cup sets, and one larger 'kettle'

Being selfish about certain things, I have secured as much Alishan Red Oolong as I could, and now I can recommend that, and the Ye Sheng log (delicately lemony and floral in the past, not sure what it might have aged into now, but I bought another few chunks to see), and the Yong De aged puerh leaf ...

EEEEPPPPP!
