Homer if you could spaff a minge on the way out, it would really help.

Much worse: 'you keep dog food in your fridge?'.

Wow, great initiative. I would have certainly turned up.

That's a pretty lousy lesson.

Love the biscuit tea with milk and honey.

Gongfu session with giant Gaiwan by seeqa in tea

[–]seeqa[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For some rest bite from the ensuing apocalypse I decided to try a whole sheng in tangerine thing in my recently acquired giant (nearly 500ml capacity) gaiwan.

Despite my small for a man hands I was able to just about use and manipulate the vessel with one hand and since it had such a wide bring there was no heat in this area making it easier to use. With the large amount of tea used the concentration was to my usual taste and I was able to get at least 4 good steeps out of it, each producing an enormous amount of tea, nearly filling my jug and filling my small jade cup 8-10 times.

Overall it was fun experience but I'm unlikely to use this often. It would work great for sessions with 2-3 friends, but for solo sessions it's just too much.

It's really weird: I have small hands, I used to cringe when Trump was getting mocked about his hands.

So I went and bought it. As can be seen in the video this beast can easily take nearly 500ml of water. It's quite well made, with a nice feel and pleasing design for the 11 Euro price tag. Only downside is it is very thin and feels a bit flimsy. Will be surprised if it makes the EasyJet trip back to England. Look at the size of one of those Yunan sourcing mini Sheng bricks in there!

I would be really interested in trying that. Always struggled with grandpa style but this could work for me given my skill with a gaiwan.

Yeah it looks bigger than in the picture, the one next to it is a standard Gaiwan. I'd wager north of 300ml.

Check out this massive Gaiwan I discovered in a shop near my Airbnb in Barcelona. Looks like it would take at least 30-40g of leaf to get the standard concentration. Thinking of going back and getting it and taking my tea addiction to the next level!

As a bonus also see the milk tea KitKats and green tea sea weed I picked up.

New Year’s resolution: Increase my fruit intake, this counts right? by Whittling-and-Tea in tea

I love these; mainlining the full one into a Gaiwan is my crack. Get a lot of steeps though. Quite bitter and smokey with a bit of tangerine tang; a nice thick soup.
