This little puppy is now fixed All of a sudden it doesn’t look like the $30 pot that it was, but rather more like the silver vintage kyusu that it is. The handle is ivory, which made me apprehensive about … Continue reading →

A hidden treasure

Resurrection

A few years ago, I bought a silver kettle.  Only problem is, it leaked.  The part where the spout connects to the body was falling apart, so while it was ok to make, say, matcha with it, since matcha doesn’t … Continue reading →

Silver revelation

Posted on February 8, 2011 by MarshalNFebruary 8, 2011

Today I drank a sample that I got recently, without any real labels or anything.  All I can remember (and discern) is that it’s some sort of an aged oolong — not really aged, just a few years under its … Continue reading →

The Demon Revealing Mirror

Posted on June 30, 2009 by MarshalNApril 11, 2011

The Demon Revealing Mirror is one of those somewhat mythical and fantastical items in Chinese lore that supposedly will show who (or what) is a demon and who is really a human.  You just shine the mirror on the object, … Continue reading →

Changing tastes

Posted on June 24, 2009 by MarshalNMay 14, 2011

I rarely repeat the same tea two days in a row, and never with the same teaware.  I think one of the joys of drinking tea is to thoroughly explore all the varieties that it offers, be it young, old, … Continue reading →

Continuing experiments with silver

These days I’m drinking not much more than traditionally stored puerh, cheap Wuyi, and the like. I am pretending to be busy with work… What I have been doing though is sometimes starting out a tea with the tetsubin, and … Continue reading →

I got a heating plate (you can see a corner of it in yesterday’s picture) so I can safely heat my silver kettle without running a high risk of screwing it up. I noticed that a flame will help tarnish … Continue reading →

Drinking matcha

Posted on August 14, 2008 by MarshalNApril 11, 2011
