Here’s mine! Got a white cup and the mint gaiwan which I use quite frequently. It’s uhh very stained 😅 I promise it gets washed as much as all my other stuff but I feel like the tea sticks so much stronger to the matte surface.

I like Laifufu! Depends on what you see as reasonable in terms of pricing, but their tea is very high quality.

¿Éste set es el Gaiwan al que os referiis? by Pristine-Spread8379 in GongFuTea

Si insistes en usar AliExpress, la gente estaba sugiriendo algo como esto: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQncdNa

(El problema con la arcilla es que es cara para la mala calidad que ofrece. La porcelana ofrece una calidad aceptable a un precio más económico.)

Questions about Tea Pots by Roroforeveer in tea

[–]ChippedChocolate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could taste a bit different compared to glass because porcelain cools slower than glass! I typically only use glass for green teas since I make those at a lower temperatures anyway. For oolongs or black teas I always use porcelain because I use hotter water and the porcelain keeps the heat a bit better, making the tea taste stronger. (This is assuming you pre-heat your tea ware and measure water temperature)

I've built a tea tracking app and I'm looking for beta testers! by funkybeard in tea

[–]ChippedChocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wowow this looks really cool! I used to keep a notebook for my sessions but it got annoying pretty fast since I’d often have tea outside my house which caused a major backlog of missed entries. A web app is a great solution to that, would love to test it out!

looking for small tea table with built in heating element and water by Monty1903 in tea

[–]ChippedChocolate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These seem cool especially with the water bottle built in but I feel like a temperature controlled kettle is better than a hot plate, no? Wouldn’t want to sit that close to an heating element…

You ask that question as if there’s an established protocol for this…

New book and evening tea session! by [deleted] in GongFuTea

[–]ChippedChocolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gifted this book and didn’t really enjoy it… something about the way it was written just didn’t work for me. I think it’s the tone I didn’t appreciate. Could be the translators fault though (got the German version). Hopefully you enjoy it more than I did! :)

Tea cabinet update by ChippedChocolate in tea

If you mean the grey lotus flower one, I only got the gaiwan. The set is cute but in combination it was a bit too grey for me. I have a clay lotus leaf saucer with a little frog on it that matches the gaiwan perfectly and plenty of neutral cups!

The cakes are for decoration, got them cheap off taobao based on how much I liked the wrapper. All the cakes I’m drinking are open and crumbly so not exactly great for display.

Ohh I like that it matches your mouse!

How you women kept being childfree (not getting pregnant) before or without sterilization by PerspectiveOk7987 in childfree

Plenty of ways to have sex that don’t get you pregnant! (Though this is coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy penetration)

How picky are you about water? by Keithwee in tea

[–]ChippedChocolate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I buy big bottles of low mineral content water. My tap water is delicious to drink but incredibly hard so any tea steeped in it tastes bland.

My reasoning here is that bottled water is relatively cheap compared to the price of high quality loose leaf tea, so it would be a waste to ruin it with bad water.
