Having the great @hokdorcha over for a 'tiny' afternoon tea session. What haven't we tried? #drinkalltheteas #sheng #shou #puerh #tea #teafriends #afternoonteatime #China #Yunnan #gongfu #gongfucha #gongfutea #crimsonlotustea #crimsonlotus (at Crimson Lotus Tea)

Happiness is a jar full of maocha. We started selling sheng and shou puerh tea loose and uncompressed this last year. We sell them in reusable storage jars hand made out of Jianshui clay. These offer an excellent alternative storage option. Wipe the inside of the lid with a wet rag once a week and they will do well to keep your tea humid in dry climates. Check with us in the coming months for additional clay storage jars we're working on. #sheng #shou #puerh #tea #China #Yunnan #Jianshui #Zitao #clay #pottery #handmade #teastorage #gongfu #gongfucha #gongfutea #crimsonlotus #crimsonlotustea (at Crimson Lotus Tea)

Afternoon tea. We took a break from packing orders to get a little liquid energy. We do have a sale going on. Also China Post is about to close down for the Chinese New Year.

Our 2008 Jingmai is a really special tea. We never pressed this material. We sell it loose in Jianshui clay jars. The material is exceptional and always a pleasure to experience. #sheng #puerh #tea #2008 #Jingmai #honey #China #Yunnan #Jianshui #Zitao #clay #pottery #handmade #gongfu #gongfucha #gongfutea #crimsonlotus #crimsonlotustea (at Crimson Lotus Tea)

This gorgeous wood fired Jianshui is gong to a good home today. Such an amazing piece. I'm jealous. I'm thankful the new owner allowed me to inaugurate the pot with some of Bulang Gushu shou puerh. Not only was this wood fired it was fired in one of Jianshui's dragon kilns. It's a truly beautiful piece. #Shou #puerh #tea #China #Yunnan #Jianshui #Zitao #clay #handmade #teapot #woodfired #dragonkiln #unique #OneOfAKind #gongfu #gongfucha #gongfutea #crimsonlotus #crimsonlotustea (at Phoenix Tea)

This Bulang sheng is one of the first puerh teas we ever sourced ourself. A great thing about puerh is trying them every so often and see how they're aging. This still has a lot of that Bulang strength to it. #sheng #puerh #tea #2014 #Spring #Bulang #agedpuerh #Jianshui #Teapot #TinyTeapot #China #Yunnan #crimsonlotus #crimsonlotustea (at Crimson Lotus Tea)

This Nannuo Shan, single origin, shou puerh tea cake is almost sold out. This is one we picked up a few years ago and it developed nicely in our Seattle storage. There are only 3 cakes left. #shou #puerh #tea #Seattle #Nannuo #nannuoshan #China #Yunnan #gongfu #gongfucha #gongfutea #crimsonlotustea #crimsonlotus (at Crimson Lotus Tea)
