Fen Cai Glaze Gaiwans 1202

I am so proud to find these gaiwans!  They are so finely made in every way, from the clay, to glaze, from techniques to design of shape for easy handling.  It feels delicate and fits in hand comfortably and effortlessly.  Seasoned gaiwan users must know how important it is to hold a gaiwan that makes you feel it gels with your hand.

Today is prep day for the Pu-erh tasting.  I had this same tea on Mid Autumn night brewed with a large yixing teapot of late Qing Dynasty.  The performance of the tea was amazing, so I wanted to try it in the Chao Zhou Zhuni Qing period pot.

Getting to know a tea takes time, using various tea wares, water, timing and methods to learn every aspects of a tea, learn what does it take to bring out the best of a tea.  As a tea merchant, finding a tea to sell is easy, finding a good tea which can stand the time is not easy.  I don't list much pu-erh teas as most people know, however I do have quite a selection stored away for my nieces and nephew.  This 2009 green pu-erh was originally obtained for my youngest niece whom was born in 2009.  However I secured more of them and will bring them home in the next trip, so I feel I should share some of them.  I personally think this is a good tea with good value for the quality.  The qi is so strong, I am still feeling it now a few hours after I had it. 

Another trip to China this year

I am taking another trip to China on the 18th of this month, returning on the 14th of November.  2 trips in a year, that's one more than usual.  A busy year indeed!

10/17 is the last day to ship orders before the trip, orders made between 10/18 and 11/14 will be shipped on 11/15.  If you have any special request while I am in China, feel free to email me, I will do my best to find what you need. 

Cheers~

PS. I have been procrastinating on posting pictures of my last trip in China...  I might have to begin a new trip before the I wrap up the old.   :P
