But when it looks so beautiful, why stress about ergonomics?? I love the artistry behind the pieces i use more so than their perfection in function. Finding something with both is honestly just a plus😂
this looks like the Dai gaiwans I got at west china tea. same look and feel. same metallic sound. same drying. they only sell a few at a time though. if TaoT can source these to sell, I would HIGHLY reccomend them
Bardo showcasing themselves as tea and tea ware curators is genius! I got my first teapot from them last month and am so so happy! They have a great aesthetic and are so intentional and sweet! 🫶🏽 Tea Community!
I have the same dilemma, maybe different reasons: right now we have a small and prosperous tea store, 99% of sales are online, but everyday someone comes over, we have a lot of time to talk, try teas, I can show what gongfu is all about, share my passion. I’d love to open a tea house but I’m worried that the magic we have now would disappear and that working in a tea house would be way more exhaustive.
duude what? idk what i expected, but i certainly didn't expect to find out i was within 5 feet of a youtuber i watch for 2 days and never knew! my buddy loves the Bardo tea house so he and i hung out at their booth quite a bit. i wish we got a chance to meet!
I love seeing people being extremely zen and traditional with their tea And im over here brewing a giant pot of black tea, dumping a fuckton of sugar in, and stirring it like a witch's cauldron before chilling it till its put on ice All so i can chug my liquid sugar by the gallon
Why people feel the need to tell someone to do what they do is beyond me. The world would be very boring if everyone did everything the same. I like the look of the clay as it seems old school alchemist. You can't tell a story with a Ziploc baggie.
I love to use glass, like you, to better see the tea leaves and liquor. But for storage I believe it's best to keep the leaves in the dark and cool which a clay pot is better for. Although I certainly use ziplocks and all kinds of containers for mine in different circumstances!
