Thanks for the information – I’ll take remember what you advised about the tieguanyin tea. It makes sense. Unfortunately I don’t go to HK often at all, only been there once. It’s alright I’ll just make do with the stores where I live.
Thank you all!Hi Leo
Sorry I guess my question wasn’t structured well.I’m interested in purchasing from Wanling Teahouse and Chinese Tea Wholesaler. However I wondered whether anybody has past experiences with either of them and what those experiences were. For example I know from SmartShanghai that Wanling Teahouse apparently specialises in Tie Guan Yin but it’d be more interesting to know whether users agree, disagree and so on.As for the two images – I posted them to spark memory in anyone who has bought tea cups that have a V-shaped appearance. I’m more interested in a wide V-shape as the pictures illustrate rather than a tall one. If anyone has purchased a tea cup in this style that’d be great. 🙂CSorry about the image – it was working a week ago, I guess they’ve removed the image from their website.
Hopefully these images I found elsewhere work better. Let me know of course if they don’t – touch-wood!
^ accessed from: https://www.veniceclayartists.com/korean-ceramics/^ accessed from: https://www.artnet.com/magazineus/reviews/karlins/contained-excitement-at-cavin-morris1-5-11.aspI was focused more on the style – that V-shape.I do want to ask another question related – still related to tea-ware. Has anyone purchased or can comment on either of these websites? I’m thinking of giving them a go but it’d be great if I could get some opinions. 🙂Hi guysSorry for insanely late reply!In our hotel room whilst we were in HK earlier my boyfriend and I happened to watch a documentary being aired of TV on Yixing and their production of clay teapots. They made particular mention of distinguishing between real and fake Yixing teapots. I think to be able to distinguish between the two takes more than a couple of weeks though.So when we were in Zhongshan my boyfriend and I were very skeptical of the authenticity of the teaware, particularly the teapots, and we found that it is true that the prices were quite expensive. In the end we didn’t buy any. 🙁
Sorry for not replying to this sooner! Thank you both for your input and advice, I’ll have another go once it gets a little cooler over here. How old is a mature pu’er tea? I’d be interested in maturing it.
Hi I have a pu’er biscuit at home and I’m lost as to how to get a sizable piece to brew it. This is the first pu’er tea that I’ve bought; I typically drink oolong and green tea – loose tea varieties. Do I break it into a small enough piece to brew? It’s incredibly difficult to break. Is there a age-old way of breaking pu’er tea?I know what pu’er tea is and how to brew it from your invaluable articles. What I’m concerned with is how best to go about getting the tea leaves to begin with. At the moment my pu’er biscuit is in two…I’d appreciate your advice
Claire
