Usual rules apply, see the following blogpost for details and to register interest in either/both. https://deadleaves.club/2018/10/27/gb6-7-pretty-little-luers-aged-white-teas/ At the moment, it is likely that the Green Mark buy will launch with a 60USD share price (and possibly a couple of half-sha...

Aaaaand that's a wrap!

Update: We're almost fully funded, and the buy is live. There is one remaining 40USD share.

Atlas any updates? is it full?

Nope, we're about 2/3 funded so far.

If the form's taking submissions, there's still slots available (unless people blast it while I'm asleep).

I would say perfection is overrated.

I felt it gained individuality and character after the first drop.

After the second, it became somewhat... too characterful.

Hmm, I should give that a try on my busted-to-heck gaiwan and see if I have the talent to apply it in an aesthetically-pleasing way.

That said, the powder is relatively expensive, even the faux stuff.

I personally would not have put the JB Weld on. Now you are probably getting a dose of BPA with every infusion! WIth all due respect, no I'm probably not. Think about where the JB-Weld is, how much surface area is in contact with hot water, for how long, and where much of that water ends up ( outsi...

... Happy to say it now pours nicely and the lid seals to the point that the lid-hole can stop the flow. The ugly little teapot that could. Now I just have to get a round file to clean up the acute surface on top of the lid... https://i.imgur.com/b0EFZNhg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QsWKlbp.jpg

I'm going through and brewing all my super-familiar teas with it; so far it seems to be performing well with them, but I'm no amazing connoisseur and the effects of suggestion are not to be underestimated. Only issue is possibly size. 60-70ml pots cooler faster than something around 100ml so you wig...

Hi all, I've bought a pot for primarily 15-20yo pu'er - high-fired late F1 70s hongni as far as I know- but a friend has suggested that it may not be the best choice for relatively mature teas. I have the opportunity to return it. https://imgur.com/a/DkNEaUx While I am able to test it with some of m...

Well here is another suggestion (I kid you not - this guy had exactly the same problem with this zini, but looks like he found a solution) @Atlas - looks like it performs not bad at all here. https://imgur.com/0JwDiuP Here is his post on reddit which is also here somewhere https://www.reddit.com/r/...
