After many infusions of making this aged white tea brick in yixing teapot, I boiled it in a silver pot. The tea taste surprisingly rich and sweet. #whitetea #agedwhitetea #teabrick #agedtea #fudingwhitetea #chinesetea #gongfucha #teahealth #teatime #teahealthbenefits #silverpot #silverteapot #silverkettle #silvergold #antiquesilver #silverware #chinesesilver #japanesesilver

A quiet day perfect to make a pot of traditional gongfucha. Thank you angel for spending time drinking and talking with me for the whole afternoon. #gongfucha #kongfutea #teatime #teaceremony #teazen #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #teavancouver #chineseteashop #teashop #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop

Making a 1990's aged white tea at the tea shop with no electricity. It is dark and cold at the shop. The candle light and the aged tea keep my heart and body warm. #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver #teatime

I think this shape called Gao Shubian. But it may have a different name. Anyone has any idea? #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

A miniature zini Hehuan shape teapot. Only 40 ml(1.35 oz.). Perfect size for enjoying tea by one person. #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver #teatime

Feeling tired on a Saturday afternoon at the tea shop. Let's make a pot of Dan Cong Oolong to boost my energy! #oolong #oolongtea #wulongtea #dancong #phoenixoolong #songzhong #darkoolong#yixing #gongfucha #yixinglay #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

Have a wonderful time with friends at O5 tonight. Thank you Pedro from @o5tea sharing Tang Dynasty tea and other special teas with us. It is meaningful to celebrate Michael's birthday at a such beautiful tea shop. #japanesetea #chineseteas #o5 #teatime #teatasting #teavancouver #teashopvancouver

May be it is not a good idea to drink oolong tea at night. #chinesetea #teatime #gongfucha #kongfutea #teaculture #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

Tried to break this super hard 1990s iron mold tea cake which took half an hour to break only a few pieces. As expected, some golden flowers are found inside the cake. #puer #puerh #agedpuerh #puerhtea #vintagepuerh #gongfucha #kongfutea #teaceremony #agedtea #teatime #shengpuerh #rawpuer #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

Another broken teapot. It's pretty challenge for repairing. I will save this for Michael @puerhtothepeople to work with. #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

Fist time use this small cedar tree teapot. It has been seasoned with Oolong tea. It feels really good in hand. The big spout gives it fast pouring. #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

This teapot has been staying in Hong Kong for half a year. Finally it arrived in Vancouver today. #yixing #yixingpot #yixingclay #teapot #yixingteapot #zisha #chinesetea #gongfucha #antiqueteapot #chineseantiques #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

1980 xiaguan brick. A shou tea brick with sheng mouth-feel and taste. It would developed better aged flavor when breathing on disk for few days. #puer #puerh #agedpuerh #puerhtea #vintagepuerh #gongfucha #kongfutea #teaceremony #agedtea #teatime #shengpuerh #rawpuer #shoupuerh #puerhbrick #xiaguantea #xiaguanteafactory #xiaguan #gongfucha #kongfutea

Breaking a cake of 1990's Ding Xing Hao. The beautiful leaves look almost like an antique tea cake. I have high expectations for the continued. #puer #puerh #agedpuerh #puerhtea #vintagepuerh #gongfucha #kongfutea #teaceremony #agedtea #teatime #shengpuerh #rawpuer #chinesetea #gongfucha #chineseteashop #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver

Haven't made this antique Liuan tea for a while. It takes 0the right mood to share a good tea with good friends. #liuantea #liuan #heicha #fermentedtea #liuantea #postfermentedtea #teashopvancouver #chineseteashop #teavancouver #teatime #friendship
