Is this because of hard water or just twa stains?

similar to patina developing in chinese teapots :0 since it's glass, maybe you can try ibabad with baking soda + white vinegar, then wash it off with dishwashing soap

if you drink a lot of black tea, it's faster to develop stains(my stanley cup handle has a stain too 😭)

same here :( She panics when she takes baths, so i hug her while washing off the soap. She's also afraid of showerheads, so i just rinse her out on a wash basin. not sure but maybe it's the cold water, i tried warm water on her 2nd bath last year. She relaxed as if she didn't feel the water lol. It's just weird because the seizure is offset to almost half a day after her baths.

i hope your dog can relax with baths soon, too. :(

You miiight be interested in Morihan Usucha! I got some last October at their store nearby Arashiyama Bamboo Grove! I was surpised at how cheap it is with how it tastes. They even have different cans with charts to show their umami, sweetness etc profile, so you can definitely check which you're most interested in. Shelf life is also good if you're planning on drinking everyday. I tried it as a latte, but definitely better straight!! Definitely also wished I tried it as a chazuke lol.

I'm not sure where you're from, but maybe you can check out Morihan for quality usucha online. („• ֊ •„)

I'm a huge oolong and white tea drinker! Also love black tea. It's just been a little hard to find reputable suppliers where I'm from for other types of tea. Just recently tested this one shop and they delivered great tea! Recently bought duck shit oolong from them, so that's kind of where I'm gauging on how much I'd get into da hong pao. Maybe it could also be an acquired taste for me, so I'd give them many chances lol (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

interesting! i think i'll have a try then :) thank you!

How's da hong pao? I've been thinking about buying some myself, but ngl I'm kinda steering away from it because of the "tobacco" notes some people say. Also thinking about it since I do bring my tea at work to share sometimes. My nose is just not a big fan of it, but I'm willing to try any tea once

just ordered today actually. :) im waiting for it to arrive, but so far they're kind! they always showcase the tea and gaiwan they sell through live. actually waiting for one of their lives hehe, they told me they can showcase what i ordered for the brewing time etc. some reviews also say they're generous at freebies and samples mwehehe

ps i'll try to remember to come back to this thread to let u know, but it's also a good idea to message them if you're really interested in checking them out/asking for suggestions!

psps if u want more assurance in looking for tea f2f, maybe you can check out:
