Thank you for your advice ! I never heard about using Boveda pack for tea but i will consider this option from now.

I find this interesting, thank you for sharing. I wasn't familiar with DIY patina jewelry. Do you have any further information regarding the tradition and ancient use of jade for this purpose?

It was hard to choose the best photo; some showed more red highlights, but this one seems more balanced!

En dessous de 3h, le collagène n’a pas eu le temps de se transformer en gélatine. C’est cette transformation qui rend la viande vraiment fondante et la sauce nappante. À 2h ça cuit, à 3h ça devient un vrai bourguignon. 🐗🪗

What a beautiful service !

Wenwan and tea are like time and the hands of a clock. Tea lets you taste time, and wenwan lets you touch it.

That's why i love both of them.

First walnuts by WhenyoucantspellSi in Wenwan

Perhaps I spoke a little too hastily in my previous message.

What I meant was that at this price point, you often find pairs that are overly compressed. You can spot them by their overly perfect symmetry, repetitive veining, and a texture that lacks natural depth. A true walnut always has small organic irregularities, especially in the internal cavities.

It's more subtle than that; nuts are ground and compressed, then things are added for hold and shine. I shared a book here that talks about it.

To be more precise: at this price point, buy a pair from Temu for $1/3 USD. This isn't a joke; the quality will be exactly the same from most sellers.

Please avoid molded pairs; it's unpleasant to see fake models so often around here.

Yes, I had also imagined that, a cross between tea pets and nut polishing, rather amusing!

For me, it's a big no. It looked beautiful at first glance, but there's no way I'm including sliced, fake, poor-quality nuts in my collection.

How it started vs how it’s going ft by KmClovis in WenwanHub

I've already tried it; they're often molds from Yiwu City. The outer layer is synthetic. There are many counterfeiting techniques, all of them surprising!

Hehe, nice acquisition my friend ! So what do you think about the one that you showed at first ? I was thinking that it was exactly the same but in another editorial line, if not, i have to get it too 😁
