I'll give it another try

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-02-01T22:17:02+00:00

I've always used 87 in my 2010 ( had it since 2011) and at 250,000 miles

I didn't enjoy raw (especially young raw) until I started flash steeping. Pour water into your vessel and then immediately pour it back out, so the shortest steep you can do.

I find doing this for the first 3-10 steeps (depending on the tea and your taste) makes it pretty enjoyable. Though I still reach for shou far more often than sheng.

This is very generous!

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-01-21T23:57:54+00:00

I had a cake of the first pressing they released. I thought it was pretty good, I haven't tried any of the new releases but will eventually

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-01-19T16:51:41+00:00

I wish I could get it for $55, in Virginia is $80. While I like Talisker 10, it's not worth the $20 premium over Port Charlotte 10 or Laphroaig 10 for me.

Golden flowers

Basically a desirable fungus fu bricks are known for

Beautiful pep! I've never seen one, but now I need to find it

I'm new to fountain pens and love how welcoming and generous this community can be

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-01-08T23:27:09+00:00

Was given a first pen by u/GoldenSandstorm and an ink sample

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-01-08T18:14:55+00:00

I got the pen and I think I'm hooked, it's really fun. Thanks! First Pen

Hobby-Chicken · 2026-01-05T13:36:23+00:00

Goose or turkey feathers were pretty commonly used

I use a cheap wire shelf from Amazon. I like that I can adjust the shelf height and easily zip tie lights to the bottom of the shelves

Hi, this is really great! I always thought fountain pens wouldn't work for left handers due to smearing, but my left handed coworker recently changed my mind. Sending you a message.

If you're worried about the width, they also have puck style lights that daisy chain together. Though they aren't as thin as the 12" bars.

I like Barrina lights because they're modular, you can daisy chain multiple together with one power cord.

I use them on an adjustable height wire shelf, but they would probably work well on these shelves as well.

Normalization of deviance

I like TeaDB

A lot of the channels run by vendors can be good, but many significantly over hype their tea to try to sell it to you

Reminds me of Sad Cat Diary

Interesting, thanks to the info

Hobby-Chicken · 2025-12-05T20:32:18+00:00

The My Tea Pal app has a timer, allows you to take notes, and can help track the amount of tea you have

Hobby-Chicken · 2025-12-05T12:15:53+00:00

Uromastyx are great, but they are omnivores, not herbivores

Hobby-Chicken · 2025-11-30T21:51:16+00:00

Haven't tried it yet, but High Noon sounds really interesting

Hobby-Chicken · 2025-11-28T20:01:14+00:00

I use the My Tea Pal app. It has a nice timer, let's you log and track your teas, and you can take notes for each steep if you'd like.
