just bought a gaiwan today, really amazing to use. love it

your polaroids really add to stories you tell! I really like your stuff 👏👏 I wish you success

I don't know much about film or pottery lol but this video was really pretty to look at. The clay color looks stunning and the video quality is incredible. I wish I could describe it better to explain how nice this short looked. Subscribed!

Do you do anything with your used leaves?

I had the W2T subscription for four months. The teas were really nice but realistically it didn’t represent value for money. I’m not saying it was overpriced, I could quite believe that it’s the right cost for the expenses that go into it, but the last month I had it before I cancelled I just looked at my parcel and asked myself “is that $30 worth of tea? Is that even $20 worth of tea?” And I couldn’t in all honesty say yes. Maybe it was $30 worth of experience. I tried some teas I’d never tried before and always enjoyed what I drank but in the end I couldn’t justify the cost on a budget. Even buying from Jesse’s Teahouse who are renowned for having moderate to high prices, I get a huge amount more tea for my dollar and always reliable quality too.

Best of luck on your business endeavors!!! I’m still working on mine

Try 185 degrees for red teas. Should be more gentle with a bouquet.

You can also try a Tea Table (Chaban). If you don't like the sound of what you saying.

You have a nice haircut 🔥

I love this!! Have gotten into a tea obsession this days, love your videos❤

I love that they're delving into white fucha.

Agree. Learn, unlearn, relearn type of thing, that only develops with experience. Only later on you'll realise why you love teapots, or any other teaware, and why you use it. Just like variable temp kettles. I thought I needed one to get the best temperature for my teas. Yet in the last 2 years I've been only putting it to 100°C, and learned to be concious about where and how I pour the water into the gaiwan. (Or to just let it cool down in a pitcher, if i brew japanese greens.) Altough this is a bit off topic from the short vid, but I hope not too much.

The chinese started drinking powdered tea, also slightly more ceremonial then now, at the same time it was brought over to japan. Then the mongols invaded china and they switched back, while japan repelled the mongols and further evolved it into the intricate tea ceremony. Origin: the book of tea by kakuzo. No idea id thats teue, but the ceremonial aspect is a lot influenced by taoism

I thought I was crazy! I remember drinking a really nice aged white a while back, and had to lie down for almost two hours cuz I felt like my blood was gonna pop out of my skin... took my bp reading and it was like 10 points away from being ER levels! Getting tea drunk is no joke!!!

Thoughts on Jesse's Teahouse and his subscription?

Which kinds of white tea do you prefer to ones from Yunnan?

I loooove their tea club

The cake is delightful. W2T tea club is such a great sub. I look forward to this package every month. Also whoa the video was fire

Such high action!

Thanks for the info. Regardless of mould or (semi)handmade, how safe are the pots for drinking? I’m looking at a Chaozhou pot (70ml) for about 5 dollars but I’m worried it’s too cheap to be safe

$1000 tea pot? Here I am just some a**hole microwaving his coffee cup to heat up the water.

French cleat? Who in the hell made that name up? And DON'T EVEN say FRENCH! You fooking CLEAT! 😂

Can you explain why a ball filter is theoretically better?

Its a cleet like every store you go into everything is held like this

How do you clean your teaware? My dragons breath gaiwan is starting to stain.

The colour looks so yummy i want to eat it

I love how you mention relationship with your maker/dealer. I have a local ceramic artist I purchase from and I re-purpose his ware to suit my tea making. He and I are talking about me commissioning a cha pan. But our relationship is literally him letting me walk away with a pot he made (western style) without even paying. I didn't have the money on me, but he knew I was good for it so he let me walk away with it. Of course I went back to the same market the next weekend to give him the money. I have never seen another glazing pattern on any of his other pots since.

Ooooo

hotel headboards also use this technique

considering the amount of dickriding you've been doing in this video, it's clearly NOT the hardest glaze ever 🤦🏿

Why is this underrated!

That green and red is crispy 🔥

That is really pretty but I thought teapots aren’t suppose to be glazed at that level of craftsmanship. Just stepping into Yixing teapots so I’m sure I’m wrong somewhere, why does the glaze not matter here?

Interesting!

How does those lids not fall from the apprentice teapots??? I genuinely don't understand

more of everything please? no one does it like you I’d love to see more deep dives into pots clays tea storage and reviews and nerding out on it because that’s where the fun lies imo just keep it casual

Is 240ml.not equal to 8oz or 1 cup? I thought 240ml pot should be ideal to brew tea. Why are you against brewing tea in any pot size of more than 200ml

Thats crazy to think that I've talked to you directly through support. Loving my teapot!

That color reminds me of purple Skittles so cool

Another emasculated male.

these are gorgeous !! would love a lovely teapot and some cups from yall

Pretty color! Very nice

I’ve got a 90ml porcelain gaiwan and a 180-200ml yixing pot. I used to drink only from the yixing pot, but ended up using less and less tea per session because just like you said I felt I was wasting the tea as I was doing 3-5 steeps usually. This resulted in less flavor and body. I am thinking about getting a 120-140ml glasspot as my old large 320ml glasspot has lost its lid along the way and is serving as a cha hai now. I am also considering a smaller yixing pot mainly for pu-erh. Something like 70-90ml xishi. What is the deal with silver and steel pots? I remember the guy from yunnan sourcing using one in lots of videos. Seems unpractical as it’s heavy and gets very hot?

I'll stick to my Twinnings Earl Grey, thanks.

I prefer lipton

two hundred ml is my stopping point too... at some point it just gets too expensive, especially for solo sessions! Do you think Yixing makes a lot of teapots on the larger side to make them more appealing to Taiwanese customers? I feel like in Taiwan they always drink out of larger sizes haha

The worst guy to have to sit next to in any situation

My Dicaoqing is 290 😅

Love that cup

Well, put it in the dishwasher. For me that works.
