    Thanks for the feedback; what makes them not good for use?

    I think on my next infusion I’m going to let it sit longer (45s), to try to pull more flavor out.  It could be that the tea has gone stale, though.  No matter – it’s only ~8 miles to this shop and it wasn’t very expensive.

    If it’s ready for deployment, I’d say sooner rather than later.  Is it it’s own menu selection (like taste character / category / TCM currently is) or does it have a parent/child relationship (frex, Select “Green” brings out a child menu allowing you to select quality within that category)?

    Also, are orders currently being accepted?  Running low on the green I ordered from JKTeashop, looking to order soon.

    I do have one observation.  There doesn’t seem to be a way to search tea by class (Taichi, delta, etc) from the menus.  One has to go to the “A Few Ways to Select a Tea” section, and even then Taichi is the only one selectable.

    I think he’s monks confused with me 😀

    Agreed; it’s a great site so far.

    That would be appreciated, certainly, especially if you tied the product description in with the articles you’ve written.

    In lieu of making a new topic, I have related quesitons. Any clue if these are worth pursuing? 

    https://www.jkteashop.com/teaware-gift-set_c25.html

    Or am I barking up the wrong tree?  Looking for my own tea set (I’d get a pot to go with the aboves) so I can stop having to borrow my roomates. More to the topic of gaiwans, these are probably along the same vein:  https://www.jkteashop.com/porcelain-ceramic-gaiwans_c49.html

    I’m looking for one and a few cups (and I guess a hai to balance it?  Second gaiwan maybe?) to keep at my office so I can start to transition away from these bagged teas.  Would these suit the purpose and provide some quality infusions or am I again barking up the wrong tree?

    Speaking of cups, these were interesting looking:  https://www.jkteashop.com/porcelain-ceramic-gaiwans_c49.html

    Hello,

    I’ve had good experience with JKTeaShop.com so far.  They’re in China, however, so it might be a wait unless you pay some extra for shipping.

    I have a habit of putting things funny.

    That aside, I’m checking into your webstore now.  Looks good visually; I’ll have to order from there at some point in the near future – it’s a bit more expensive than JKTeas so I think I might have to wait until my teawares are on a high enough grade for it to count.

    Thanks,

    M.

    This is a bit of a bump but I felt it was better than making a new thread.

    Leo:  You have your own brand of tea?  I’ve not seen it mentioned on the site.  Can you tell me more?

    Also, as to there being more US readers, maybe it’s because tea is somewhat more exotic to we USicans than those in China?  Can’t speak for a lack of European readership, though.  Noted that everyone here speaks English well, so figured we were all Euromerican.
