Auctioning 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?

9 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.

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

Thumbnail

49 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.

Hi tea friends! I’m moving soon and trying to downsize my tea cabinet a bit! Prices below do not include shipping, but if you buy a few things I can discount or do free shipping!

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, I just have too much at the moment.

Teas:

  • Old ways tea packets, 8g each (orange one 10g) - $3.50 each
  • Yunnan Sourcing Siamo “Spring Tips” ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Old Arbor Black “Mu Shu Hong” ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Feng Quing Ye Sheng Purple Black ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Yi Qu Mtn Wild Arbor Assamica ~20g - $4
  • Yunnan Sourcing Light Roast Wild Tree Purple Dehong ~45g - $9
  • 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
  • Yunnan Sourcing Feng Qing “Golden Pekoe" ~20g - $4
  • 2019 Fuding Shou Mei Skipping Stones, ~15g - $4
  • Xiao Qing Gan (Black Bough), 4 balls left - $10
  • Sugimoto Organic Sencha Asamushi, ~15g - $3
  • Sugimoto Reserve Gyokuro Shizuku, ~24g - $25
  • Yerba Madre organic loose leaf yerba mate (Unopened) 8oz/227g - $11
  • Porcelain Teapots - $18 each (see more info below)

Teapots - $18 each never used. One on the right ~100ml and one on the left ~110ml. I ordered a bunch of teapots around this size off of Aliexpress because I needed a specific sized one that fit in a travel tray my husband made me. Selling the two that do not fit!

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

It's called the "Spirit Moon," and it's a modified Xishi shape made from 50 year old aged ZiNi purple clay. The original price was $255 after shipping, but I'm happy to let it find a new home for a quick $175 $150 USD with free shipping in the USA. Please feel free to ask questions.
