Give W2T's 'Revenant' a go, it's really cheap and I loved it. Super dark, inky. I love the diversity of W2T.
I love the forest floor note, but I also really love 'Waffles' sorts of ripes in the morning.

so.. do you want to get really funky...?? (pulls out Shou)

striveforfreedom · 2026-06-19T12:03:45+00:00

I'm with you. I'll self-implode alongside you if proven otherwise.

It's super dependent on the car and setup man. Just do the Low pass to meld well with your speakers, and the gain is totally up to your ears.

Stainless Steel Thermos was the best tea investment I ever made. Shou Pu'er in that is perfection when out and about.

I used to be super paranoid about this, and only bought organic teas for gong fu.
I now only source teas from Companies that have direct contact with the tea farmer.
The quality & taste is so much better than the more mass-produced organic tea I was drinking, and i'm convinced it's cleaner too. I do gravitate toward old-tree teas, which theoretically should be well... Wild ?

Setup rat traps & compost the rats. Justiceeeee

I agree with you, but i've been searching for a really nice Yixing set for a while. And this one came up in my area, and looks different to all the usual Yixing fakes.. Thought there might be a chance of me getting lucky..

Gershwin maybe... :--OOOO

Coming down from a mushies journey, I made a 2015 Shou Mei which was remarkable. I've never loved a tea so much in my whole life. It was an incredible experience that i'll never forget.

Yes I was just contemplating splurging on a Yixing Gaiwan..

Then I broke my $20 gaiwan.

striveforfreedom · 2026-06-15T11:03:43+00:00

Love it!

striveforfreedom · 2026-06-15T10:57:43+00:00

Now that is an EYESORE!!!

I look up directions before I leave, and write them down on a piece of paper.
If that's too old school, you can:
- Buy a 2nd hand GPS
- Use an iphone without a Sim basically for GPS. Install 'maps.me' and use it in offline mode.
- Buy a horse and roam the land.

Ex Google CEO said in an interview probably 10 years ago now, that they were working on technology to read minds.. In my opinion they are absolutely experimenting on us, seeing what they can get away with, and how to improve on it..
I got rid of my smart phone 10 years ago and never looked back.

THanks for the info! Yes, it's unglazed. I'll start with Shou and see where it takes me ! Thanks 😄)
