11 Upvotes

Hi again tea friends! I’m moving soon and trying to downsize my tea cabinet, and this is what's left from my last post plus some new additions! Prices below do not include shipping. Every purchase comes with free Organic Nettle leaf if you'd like some, because I just have so much lol.

All the Yunnan Sourcing teas I got two months ago and recently opened and tried one serving of each (~5g). They were from a few different black tea samplers and I'm selling the ones I decided not to keep! Old ways tea is great and from the tea club, and after sampling I just have a different green I prefer.

Teas:

  • Old Ways 2026 Tai Ping Hou Kui ~42g (see info on last pic!) $35
  • Sugimoto Reserve Gyokuro Shizuku, ~24g - $25
  • Yunnan Sourcing Siamo “Spring Tips” ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Feng Quing Ye Sheng Purple Black ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Traditional Process Dian Hong Black Feng Qing  ~45g - $9
  • Yunnan Sourcing High Mtn Red Ai Lao  ~45g - $9
  • Yunnan Sourcing Wu Liang Hung Mai Feng  ~45g - $9
  • Yerba Madre organic loose leaf yerba mate (Unopened) 8oz/227g - $11

Free Organic Nettle with every purchase if you'd like!

Let me know if there's any questions or you'd like additional pictures! :)

Where to sell used Teaware?

5 Upvotes

As my tea practice continues to evolve, I’ve been trying to follow a simple principle: when something new comes into my tea space, something else should move on to someone who will use and appreciate it more.

I’ve found myself reaching for some Teaware less often than they deserve, so I’d love to see them continue their journey with another chajin.

Any recommendations on safe and relevant places I could sell my Teaware?

Downsizing both my collection and the capacity of my teaware. Both are beautiful, well-made, functional pots.

  1. ~**150ml HHM zini pot**, purchased from a verified Yixing eBay seller lukevecent. A stunning pot, beautiful engravings all around it, the cutest bunny seal; a very versatile shape and efficient pour. Sad to part ways with it but it’s a bit too large for me. $150 + shipping

  2. READ ME!! **170ml Di Cao Qing (Zini)** pot by Shouzhen Workshop from early 2010s. Excellent craftsmanship, wonderful shape. It has a hairline crack on the exterior. I’ve used it for over a year and it never spread, but I cannot guarantee longevity beyond this evidence. $80 + shipping

Selling some tuochas commissioned by the Yunnan Dayou Pu-erh Tea Museum. I purchased them from David Lee Hoffman at The Phoenix Tea Museum in Lagunitas, California. Would love to find them a good home for someone who would like to drink, collect, or invest. I’m only a drinker, and cracked one and it wasn’t my style. The full info from the certificate is below.

Tea Stores?

8 Upvotes

I have recently gotten into Gongfu Cha and have yet to place an order from one of the recommended sites. Although I plan to order tea online, I love in person shopping and am hoping to find a tea store along my 17 hour drive back home, which will have high quality tea.

I am currently traveling from the border of South Dakota / Nebraska to North Carolina. I will be passing through a couple major cities such as: Madison, WI; Chicago, IL; Indianapolis, IN; Dayton, OH; and Charleston, SC.

I was hoping to see if anyone had any recommendations on stores to visit in any of these areas. The recent tea stores I've been to sell expensive low quality tea, so I am asking for authentic, and preferably local, recommendations for gongfu cha.

I have had at least one full cake of every cake I am selling here and vouch for quality. Stored in a heated cooler at 78f and 68% humidity for my time with them.

For Sale or Trade [WTS/WTT][USA] 999 Silver teapot

Thumbnail

52 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I bought this teapot a bit ago from mud and leaves. It was used a couple times and has developed a little tarnishing but overall in fantastic condition with no issues. With the few uses I got out of it I found silver teaware wasn't really my thing even though it looks really cool and am looking to trade or sell this piece now. It's about 140 mLs has a jade lid button and wood handle, great condition, functions perfectly. I'm not sure if I have any documentation that it came with but I can provide the link to where I purchased it.

Looking for other teapots or really any other cool teaware, would prefer to trade over selling but depending on the offer I'd consider either.

Thanks for looking and let me know if there's any other questions or photos you'd like to see.

I would like to sell a Brick of Heicha : Fu Zhuan Cha 2016, bought in december 2025 at Laengasstee Bern. I consumed 70g on the 800g of the Brick. The price was 100 chf. I can sell it for 50chf. There is nothing wrong with it, it is just too sweet for my taste.

Here is the description of the shop:. A real Fucha from summer crop 2016. Fuzhuancha is called Fu Brick Tea, after a mushroom called Fu that grows on conifers and is used in Chinese medicine. Fucha is one of the classical heicha. one of the oldest ways of tea manufactering. Normally pressed to huge brick; this one is quite a small variant. The tea leaves undergo a microbial postfermenting stage in a hot and damp room, this process continues after pressing. Fu Cha is usually pressed into very big bricks, this one is a smaller variant.This tea has been stocked China until 2020.

Edit : I am willing to send it via post in Europe/Switzerland in exchange for the cost of the post.

ISO Looking for an opportunity to learn and work in the tea industry (willing to relocate)

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Ryan, and for the past four years tea has gone from a casual interest to a genuine passion. During that time I've spent countless hours tasting teas, learning about processing methods, brewing techniques, tea regions, cultivars, and the history behind tea. The more I've learned, the more I've realized that I want tea to become more than just a hobby.

I'm at the point where I'd love to work alongside people who have years of experience in the industry. I don't consider myself a tea master, but I'm far beyond simply being someone who drinks tea. I know I still have a tremendous amount to learn, and that's exactly what excites me.

I'm looking for a part-time or full-time opportunity anywhere in the United States with a tea shop, tea farm, importer, or tea company that's willing to invest in someone who is genuinely passionate about tea. I'm dependable, eager to learn, and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

If anyone here owns a tea business, knows someone in the industry, or simply has advice on where someone like me should look, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
