Scott, I'm super curious....the 2015 Wa Long from ZSL is priced at $232. The Yunnan Sourcing 2015 Wa Long is…
Very interesting read. Sadly Scott has a reputation for not liking when people critic his teas. I myself sent him…
Scott, Not sure why you're continuing to harp on who actually processed the tea. After all, we all know you…
I don't know why you would need to speculate in regards to where the teas were pressed unless you were…
There were some reports they took orders but didn't fulfill them and were not being responsive. The site was only…

Is it bleach in water? What’s the ratio and what do you do after you soak them?

Yeah, bleach diluted. I think this time I used about 1/30 dilution — so one part bleach for something like 20-30 parts water. Just enough to get the tea residues to come off, because otherwise they’re very dirty and impossible to clean.
Then I’ll generally soak them in water. Sometimes I’ll boil them again depending on how dirty they are. It depends on the situation, really.

Why on earth would you put your babies in bleach?
MarshalN // August 10, 2011 at 7:13 am |
Because they’re dirty and need a bath

Have your pots arrived , then?
MarshalN // August 10, 2011 at 7:14 am |
Yeah, just, still unpacking all kinds of stuff….
One casualty, but not too bad, all things considered.

Really, bleach? I’m surprised too. It seems like it would never come out. And it could potentially be corrosive to the clay?
MarshalN // August 10, 2011 at 8:24 am |
On the contrary, it comes out quite quickly. Some of the pots I washed this morning already has no bleach smell at all. And no, it can’t hurt the clay.

Thats the only way… the true tea addict’s way : )

can you show and tell a bit about the “halved” pot (at 1:30 and 9)? thanks.
MarshalN // August 12, 2011 at 9:28 pm |
How are they halved? Sure, in a later post
