Ok! This is it! I have new teaware out. I have my little goat/sheep thing chilling in its hat cup. I have my YIXING POT OUT and rinsed and ready to go.
I haven’t used my yixing in MONTHS. It was so dusty.
My new cup dwarfs it. Teensy tea pot.
I think I don’t like the yixing mostly because it leaks like a fucking sieve. The lid doesn’t sit tight, but I swear when I used it in-store, it was fine.
And I can’t drink this tea. Smells like dried squid. Yep.
Ok, moving on.
(I’ve had it before and I don’t remember it being this bad. IDK.)

:(( Sad – that is one of my favorite shou.
But yep if it’s not working for you move on…..
I was practising not dropping the pot, and it’s more dried date, less dried squid. So that’s nice. I think it was the plastic baggie being closed that affected the flavour. :/
dope. i love this one too…
I’ve heard of this before which means it must be good :)
I am having a hard time with shou right now, which is bad… considering how MUCH of it I have. :/
when it doesn’t taste right… what a shou-tastrophe
The next one from Camellia Sinensis is working better for me, YAY. Tea-tastrophe averted.
Squid! I can’t get over that.
Squid!!
