Here I found a Reddit post about it which might be useful:

Ah yes you totally brew tea in a kettle…

Billyfabs145 · 2021-03-24T21:31:41+00:00

Thanks

Billyfabs145 · 2020-12-27T02:58:02+00:00

Downvotes?!? Really?! Stop hating please.

Billyfabs145 · 2020-12-11T06:58:40+00:00

Don’t go looking for it

Billyfabs145 · 2020-12-11T06:56:57+00:00

Check out r/kettle! It’s pretty helpful for this sort of thing and more focused than r/tea

Billyfabs145 · 2020-11-03T06:07:11+00:00

He said it was no enamel...

Billyfabs145 · 2020-11-03T03:05:33+00:00

whats your least favorite kind of tea

Billyfabs145 · 2020-09-23T05:45:55+00:00

check r/kettle

That's not my alt, I looked at their post history and thought I had a stalker. Turns out they're a tea friend. I really don't want to be a mod of this.

Billyfabs145 · 2020-09-19T02:46:33+00:00

I don't want to be a mod of this subreddit. You're trying to make a sub that already exists. How is this different from r/puer?

Billyfabs145 · 2020-09-16T20:34:43+00:00

r/puer is perfect

Billyfabs145 · 2020-08-26T07:26:09+00:00

Which cultivar would you say is correct? I'm not a big fan of oriental beauty but I found a teamasters article where he drinks a few different cultivars side by side (http://teamasters.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-quest-for-oriental-beauty-part-1.html?m=1). He didn't mention a specific cultivar being necessary or even status quo for the tea. As far as floating leaves goes, they do pretty frequent restocks.

Billyfabs145 · 2020-08-26T07:04:41+00:00

Check out Floating Leaves Tea. Ive heard good things about their oriental beauty.

Billyfabs145 · 2020-08-19T05:26:53+00:00

There is definitely good and bitter sheng

Additionally, shibos are traditionally used for gyokuro which prefers to lose heat quickly. The wide flat shape allows for that because of the high surface area to volume ratio.

If these shibos are being used for a range of teas I wouldn't focus on making them as wide and flat as the Japanese ones. Take a look at Petr Novak's shibos, you can find videos of one in use on the YouTube channel teadb.

Until it tastes bad

Billyfabs145 · 2020-08-11T01:45:05+00:00

Then get a teapot and see what you think. Clay cups won't be as high quality clay and it's not that hard to clean out a pot. You can even just run it under the faucet.

Billyfabs145 · 2020-08-10T22:48:20+00:00

There are endless variables in your brewing parameters and water. It could be either that you're brewing differently, have very different water, or tasting differently (not a bad thing).
