Hi, suddenly found this topic, I am a newbie in tea. After I have saw so many sharing in this topic, I decided to share one of my flavour teapot. Hope you all will like it.[attachmentid=3235994]

Last week I was at the Long Jing tea farm at Hangzhou west lake region. When they told me the price of RMB100 (RM50) for just 50g.. I was like wow...damn expensive. Taste well, like Japanese green tea minus the roasted rice haha since they do not add the roasted rice..

My most expensive tea....  ..Never bought tea more than RM40 b4 
Here's the Long Jing tea farm.. this is just beside the shop:


These are the 2 diff quality long jing teas. I choose the most expensive wan which was much greener..double the price of the low quality type

new tea lover here.. thought of sharing my humble tea set.. got my first clay teapot one month ago at Legends of Tea.. loving the art design on the tea pot.. can anyone do a translation on the Chinese words on the teapot.. its supposed to be a poem or something.. and someone can give info on the material used for this teapot..

what are you guy's view on strictly using one teapot for one type of tea...

How we know we kena cut throat or not when buy pot,... I m new here for pot.
Yesterday went to one shop and bought a beginner pot.ha.just a pot.

Wah, so glad i found this thread!!!

i just started my adventure into tea drinking! Went to Taiwan recently and discovered Da Yu Ling high mountain taiwan tea, and fell absolutely in love with it. and it kick started me to getting my own teapot and trying out other teas now!

Recently i got my member card from Purple Cane and they gave me 3 vouchers for 50% off 1 cake puer and one can tea.

So i got myself a can of Jin Xuan oolong tea, and one Zi Zhu Lan Tie Guan Yin (Spring Tea)... and also got myself one 2011 Gu Shu Wang and a 2008 Meng Qing Round Tea... the last two i plan to simpan for few years. Not really a big fan of Puer Tea at the moment, but i figured might as well get first since got such big discount... then simpan and maybe few yrs time i'll be able to appreciate it.

I still got one more voucher left which i need to clear by this month. Any sifu got recommendations? i can still get one can and one puer cake... but hopefully sth nice that won't break my bank account la... hehe loss alot of blood di...

If any sifu can give advice or recommendation. i'd really like to hear it! I'm still a noob in this so really hope i can learn more! 

And oh, any good suggestions for other places to get tea? or is purple cane a very decent place liao?

And any recommendations for places to get teapots/teaware also?

Thanx for the reply! Kepong would be closer for me i think, any addresses or shop names?

Btw, auhckw see u post alot on this thread! must be very skilled liao and collection must be crazy, hope to learn more!

There's another teashop in Kepong - Lau Chan Tea Trading Sdn Bhd. No 11, Jalan Silang, Kepong, 52100 Kuala Lumpur. 03-62724063, contact@tearoom.my.
*Closed On Sun, 11am - 6pm, Open by Sun by appointment. Recently, they have been very active in the market, price reasonable. A lot of new Xiaguan tea.

Hi sifu,

Can you recommend any good tea shop around PJ/Subang area?

Any recommendation for oolong tea for newbie?

Just found this

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2716910

any idea if its good? Asking price seems ok

hey guys, just thought of sharing my current humble tea set pic...hehe, got a few more cups, but usually only use one 
[attachmentid=3331981]
And current tea collection 
[attachmentid=3331982]
Not really into Puer tea yet, but just bought to keep first since i had some vouchers to clear... hehe 

auhckw, ya mostly from purple cane except the blue/white packet which i got from taiwan!

not yet, but will go explore other tea shops soon once got enough bullets...hehe... btw, can anyone advise me on tea kettle? what are the different types and how come seems like some places prefer to use fire one instead of electric? and ceramic/clay kettle compared to stainless steel?

Got a question for all the sifus here...

I currently use one of my purple clay pot as a "multi-purpose" oolong pot... So, if i'm brewing anything which is semi-fermented, it will be the pot i use...

So far have used it with Da Hong Pao, Zhi Zhu Lan TGY, Jing Xuan Dong Ding. and basically any other Oolong i can get my hands on.

Is it ok that i use it that way?

Btw, i have a 2nd tea pot which i solely use for Da Yu Ling (Taiwan High Mountain Tea) because i REALLY love that tea alot and dun wanna campur-campur.

My thinking is that i will consider getting a teapot dedicated to one very specific type of tea if i really love it like crazy and can afford the habit.. hehe
But ya, in the end my question is as the top... is it ok that i use one teapot for all kinds of oolong? or does it kinda screw things up?
