That is interesting. Does that mean all kinds of clay tea pot can be used like a Yixing one? As long as they are not glazed?
Manila,
Thank you for raising the question.I have one more question myself:Why do they have to use those old cloths? Do these cloths carry the fungus for the fermentation? Or just economical?I think I read somewhere in the site that some teas cause dampness and some don’t, though I am still not quite sure what it really is.
Hello asterix2k10, I think I understand how you need time to appreciate the quality. It has been a year now that I have been used to Tea Hong quality. In the beginning it was not clear to me if there is the big difference. Now, as I drink some other teas with similar name, the lack of maybe the taste, or roundness, or aroma is a lot more obvious. Maybe my technique has improved, maybe it is my sensitivity. My hubby says I am spoiled. I think I am, and happily so.:D/
@zachno, that’s a definite yes! Buy Longjing from elsewhere and compare it with Tea Hong’s Longjing Spring Equinox you’ll know what I mean.
@Longjing 43, mine is a 200ml Daoba, quite thick in material, very seductive Yixing clay. It totally transforms my green teas!Right! One more chemical scam from China. I used to fancy buying one of these at least as a decoration, but after reading Leo’s articles about cheating in compressed puer, I have not been interested in it since. The more I hear about such news, the more I stay with reliable merchants like Leo.
I am quite fascinated by this list of tea alternatives especially American ginseng. What’s the taste and health benefits?
