John has been nothing but patient and wonderful as I went through in selecting the best cup for my gongfu tea practice. After a dozen exchanges I finally decided on the cup and what was available. After receiving the cups a few days ago, I was pleased at the quality. They hold heat incredibly well and are aesthetically beautiful. The calligraphy is the beginning of a poem written by a famous poet centuries ago. Thank you John!

So cheap but so good! Very sweet and easy drink green tea. Nutty and mineral. Definitely a good daily drink.

I love this tea, it's so warm with a caramel sweetness that lasts a long time.
This tea can withhold manny infusions, the only real disappointment for me is the heavy compression.
I can definitely recommend this cake to anybody that enjoys aged sheng.
Thanks KTM

I'm a huge fan of bats, and I love objects with character. I recieved the Gaiwan + cups, securely packed and padded, swiftly. They work well and seem to be of good quality. I feel like this was a great choice for my first gaiwan. I wish I knew how to add a picture!

Delicious, clean, slightly sweet while nicely sophisticated - highly recommend to those who like a good Xiaguan

One of the nicest shengs I've had from the 10-15 year old category. Just really sweet, potent, great tannins. Flavour profile involves leather, mushrooms and herbs. Great for gongfu as well as grandpa style (never gets rough). For the price it's a steal.

Surprisingly heavy and dense Gaiwan. I like it for roasted Oolongs..
All in all it is a special but aesthetic Gaiwan which evidently handmade....

Super sweet and easy drink semi aged sheng!

A good daily drink ripe. Very affordable and very pleasant

I tried a sample and it ed very good! Great taste and great energy!

Super,juicy, delicious, I can see why the 7542 is a standard. Subtle tropical flowers and fruits

The tray is perfect for picking cakes apart. Has an opening to allow one to funnel tea pieces off the board and into the cup. Works great for it's intended purpose.

Is a great tea with a long aftertaste. Still bitter but with a good ageing. Still need some years for a sweeter taste but its something that needs to be drink once in a while. It can resist more than 10 steepings

It's been a delight sipping on this one. Nice texture, complex. I taste honey, roasted nuts, some fruity and floral notes too, quite refreshing indeed. I found it really interesting how it develops over the infusions, it was really worth the purchase.
