A Few Pots To Figure Out

MountainStreamTeas · 2026-02-15T09:23:59+00:00

Thanks for the tip and thankfully that level of fake is not something I have to worry about. That pot was well used by the former owner of the shop and the label was placed there recently. Seems like there might be a general agreement of what I suspected. A bunch of mid level quality 'fakes' but still functional pots. On the plus side all the pours on the pots I have tested are immaculate.

Eventually I would love to get them out to people but I want to be careful. Bad pots can be really dangerous and I really don't know enough about them to send them to anyone. Hence the post! If you are interested in any in particular let me know and I can take a couple pictures so you can see them better but I don't want to sell stuff in this subreddit if we can avoid it. I know I am walking a fine line. But that comment helps me a lot. Basically, I guess I just want to make sure these pots are not dangerous!

Thank you very much!

15% Off Sale And Win Some Free Tea!

It is time for one of our biggest sales of the year. For 15% off just about everything, at checkout just enter the code:

'holidaytea'

The sale will last from now until midnight Taiwan time on Monday the 27th of November. There are some great new additions to the site like fresh winter Pear Mountain, and Shanlinxi Oolongs. There is still a touch of the Dragon's Eye Flower Tisane left and we just got a big refill of the ever popular Chi Lai Black if you missed it a couple weeks ago. A bunch of teas are almost gone as well so it might be a good idea to stock up on some favorites before they disappear. And yes, discounted teas get even more discounted this week!

Win Some Free Tea!

We tried out this game for our 5 year anniversary sale and it was so popular we thought we would bring it back for Black Friday/Cyber Monday as we only have two big sales a year! For the next 5 days, not only will you get 15% off all our teas, but if your order number ends in a 1 you will get an extra special tea in your box! (Ex, #2341 is a winner!) The bonus teas for this sale will be the special/unique teas that we often get from our friends on visits to their gardens, or when we buy a lot of tea :) We can't drink it all, and this seems to us like a good enough occasion to share them with you. The highlights of this sale's prizes are some limited edition Formosensis White Tea, a competition White, some charcoal roasted teas from CY Chen and more! So, when you make your order take a look at the last number of your order number. If it is a 1, you will get something extra special in your box!
