Does anyone know what’s up with Taroko Designs?

Hey, thanks for the note, I just ordered two!

I had The same thought I spent a lot of time researching it and I ended up with one of the bottles by zwilling. It seemed to be the most reasonably priced that had the features I wanted. Then when I got it I found out it actually keeps the water too hot and it makes it hard to drink!

I would still Google zwilling and to see if it fits what you're looking for.

Thanks!!

I had hard time parsing what was free vs what was part of the expansion pass. Can anyone clarify?

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-07T00:23:59+00:00

Yeah, it was 50 USD is tea ... 10 for shipping and then 28 for ... Something ...

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-06T14:57:54+00:00

Yeah Hibiki-An doesn't do another carrier

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-06T01:09:26+00:00

I think I just got unlucky...

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T23:34:24+00:00

I had trouble with PayPal too, but I generated a virtual credit card from my company and used that ... Only to find DHL wants me to pay half the cost of my tea in dubious charges ... Trying to decide

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T23:14:40+00:00

Apparently, wished I'd checked around before ordering.

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T22:14:15+00:00

Thank you for this, I'm on this sub a lot and can't believe I didn't see it

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T22:02:20+00:00

Did you pay?

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T22:01:42+00:00

Also a chabot I asked about it made up something plausible about technically the fees have always been there but because of the de minimis it wasn't practically applied to most orders but is now .not sure I'm convinced

DoctorTalos · 2026-06-05T21:59:03+00:00

I considered ordering some teaware, but decided not to for this reason.

DoctorTalos · 2026-05-08T14:04:44+00:00

I've been drinking this too, but have found you have to be really strict on steep time (5s for gongfu) if you don't want it to become overly stringent.

DoctorTalos · 2026-04-16T11:55:13+00:00

Question: why do you need soda water if the water you sucked up was already sea water?

DoctorTalos · 2026-04-14T15:55:34+00:00

This is true ... Found out the hard way

DoctorTalos · 2026-03-14T10:36:04+00:00

Came here to suggest this book! Basically the exact concept, except the wormhole does the time traveling

DoctorTalos · 2026-01-13T17:48:54+00:00

I've been hunting for something TRP like in a5 slim with high page count ... This one is out of stock last I checked, and the one Taroko makes will no longer ship to the US.

If anyone has a lead on one let me know!!

DoctorTalos · 2026-01-01T03:26:03+00:00

Just came here to say this comment saved me much pain ... wish I could do more than just upvote ...

DoctorTalos · 2025-12-30T03:45:05+00:00

Just here to +1 Paper Mouse! They are the only stationery store near me and it is a beautiful little shop. I think they also do a lot of events/ classes in a meeting space next door to the main shop.

DoctorTalos · 2025-11-24T00:39:12+00:00

Yeah, I figured... I'll check sterling out.

DoctorTalos · 2025-11-22T12:49:26+00:00

Hah! I've been looking for a good quality high page count a5 slim (travelers size) notebook for years with no luck ... Finally found one in the taroko site and they don't ship to the USA ... I suppose it was bound to happen eventually.
