The past few years I’ve purchased all my Chinese greens from Seven Cups. What they’ve been doing is offering a 20§ discount the first weekend they offer a new tea or teas. Of course I always end up buying enough tea to get free shipping! I like to space out my purchases so I can drink the tea soon after I receive it. If you sign up for their newsletter you’ll receive notices of these specials. I look forward to your evaluations of the different grades and sources of long jing. I just saw your reply, so I apologize for not getting back to you earlier. Seven Cups charges $16 to ship to Canad ..read more

Nice job. It still surprises me sometimes how spanking clean these come out after a bath like that. I can imagine this being a soothing distraction from the madness around you... Thank you! Oh yes, this one revealed very nice to touch velvety surface, the other ones Zini/QSN pots I’ve been holding were a bit rougher. And yeah, simple passionate things such as tea and teaware work as the best distraction and isles of calmness, thanks! Statistics: Posted by i_viter — Wed Mar 27, 2024 3:29 pm ..read more

I love the workmanship quality and suppose it's from the mid-70s - would love to hear your thoughts. Nice job.

Very nice! Late 70s in my view. The stains were not as bad as I feared, it came out well! Oh, thanks! Just went across my notes and bookmarks - and yes, thank you for pointing out more corresponding time gap - that thick lid lip and partially worn out 6:4 stamp still didn't match into my original suggestion. Nice to see a good clean up job! I suppose some elbow grease went into it as well. Thank you! It was fun though, I had some calming exercises during the late-night airstrike alert time.

Let me show my update on the teapot cleaning - it arrived recently and to my release, it appeared not so dirty as I thought. Seems it was used as a water dropper for calligraphy so minor ink stains were only on the outside, along with mineral scale residues from around the lid opening and on the edge of the spout. The concentrated soda bath and toothbrush scrub worked well, so I got this nice (as I see it) Zini pot clear and ready for developing its puerh patina! Its 130ml capacity works well for two cups at a brew - for me and a guest. I love the workmanship quality and suppose it's from the ..read more
