bram replied to the topic Puerh and humidity in the forum Tea Conversations 9 years, 5 months ago

There is a difference between storing it to drink and storing it for aging. If you store it to drink keep it dry as you do with other teas otherwise humidity matters for the process.
I don’t know the exact numbers but there is discussion about what the best humidity is. Some think that dry storage (humidity ~60% if I remember the numbers…[Read more]

Hi,

Next month I will be in Berlin for a short time. I won’t have much time for tea-sightseeing, but I will have some. So I’m looking for interesting tea-shops, tea interesting museums or interesting places to drink tea.

If you know some of those, please inform me about them.

Thanks,
Bram

bram replied to the topic Tea game in the forum Tea Conversations 9 years, 8 months ago

Although I did not recognize the name I heard of it before. But in a historical sense. It was played a lot before Rikyu and others developed the well known ceremony. This development was actually (among on other things) a reaction on this kind of games where very valuable prices could be won.

I also encountered it on a few other places in…[Read more]

I wondered why the apple did not fell in his tea. Probably because he just wanted to drink it and his head became between the apple and the tea…

Yeah, shame on me 🙂

Once Yixing was imported European factories tries to duplicate it. So there were some German factories that managed to create red stone tea ware (and other stuff). It is usually heavier and […]

More worried about the size of the pictures on screen 🙂 Height and width 🙂
bram commented on the post, Tea visit with teapots, teapots and did I mention teapots?, on the site CULTea 9 years, 9 months ago
