Is there a thread for post and comment protocols/rules?

Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm new to this sub. I've done some digging in this sub to find protocols/rules about posts and comments but have been unable to find anything. So, any guidance would be helpful!

I'll be looking to submit a "For Sale" post in the coming weeks and want to make sure I have my ducks in a row. Also, I'd like to know how to engage with interested parties and would appreciate some recommendations for how sales/exchanges should be handled (i.e., paypal, venmo, cash, check, etc.). Lastly, if I see a post with something I'm interested in, do I just PM the OP? Then, we'd hash out the details from there?

Thanks in advance for your time!

[WTS] [EU/WW] Three Yixing Teapots

Hi teaexchange! I'm decluttering my teaware inventory and have decided to let the following pots go:

[SOLD] 1) Duo Qiu

Early 2010s pot made by the 'Shouzhen Workshop,' which used to have a Western-facing outlet. More info on this maker can be found here: https://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?t=9484.

Style: Duo Qiu.

Clay: Di Cao Qing (Zi Ni).

Capacity: 170 ml.

Lid fit: very good, no dribbles.

Filter: standard non-ball.

Sadly, I've had to reduce my caffeine intake, so the 170 ml capacity of this pot has become too much for me. But without a doubt, this is the best Yixing pot I've owned. The craftsmanship is stunning, and the clay is simply exceptional. You can brew plain water in this pot and it comes out tasting sweet and full.

Price: 90 USD.

[SOLD] 2) De Zhong

Another early 2010s pot here.

Style: De Zhong.

Clay: Golden Jiang Po Ni (naturally occuring mixture of Hong Ni, Zi Ni and Duan Ni - more info here: https://mudandleaves.com/blogs/teatime/jiangponi-new-kid-on-the-block).

Capacity: 175 ml.

Lid fit: very good, no dribbles.

Filter: standard non-ball.

Note that the edge of the lid has been chipped slightly, although this doesn't affect use at all. For this reason I'm letting the pot go at a low price.

Price: 50 USD (open for offers).

[SOLD] 3) Shui Ping

This was sold to me as a 1980s authentic "Please Drink Chinese Oolong Tea" series Factory 1 pot. Now apparently this series has been widely faked, and I do not have the expertise to determine if this is the case here. What I can say, though, is that this is a very decent pot made from good quality clay. The medium-low-fired Hong Ni brews a great pot of puerh or, indeed, oolong.

Style: Shui Ping.

Clay: Hong Ni.

Capacity: 70 ml.

Lid fit: decent (slight dribble when poured aggressively; pretty average for mass-produced pots IME).

Filter: single hole.

Price: 50 USD (open for offers).

International shipping for any of the items will be 20 USD.

[Wtb] Beginner gaiwan teaser or cup

Hi all I'm just getting into tea but my setup is atrocious. I'm on a tight budget but if anyone has a set they don't like or a teapot or gaiwan cup there willing to sell I'd love to buy it.

Right now consist of me pouring tea into paper coffee cups and straining them with a mesh sieve lol.

[WTT/WTS/Gift][US] Big Tea Destash: Pu Ehr, Oolong, Green, Chaga

I am located in NY. I will prioritize requests that will take as many as possible at once, but reach out either way!

If exchanging, I’m looking for nice Dan Congs or Dongfangs, as well as quality Yunnan or Taiwanese blacks. Please do not offer anything outside of these categories.

The puers are for sale:

  1. Palais des Thés – Pu Ehr Lin Cang (shou) – 100g, ripped the bag open just to smell, but never touched/used. $15
  2. Scottish Toffee Pu Ehr – 2 oz, $15 – Ripped it open to smell, never used (it’s my second packet). It’s SO GOOD! It was my favorite for the longest time, but I grew tired of it

The below I am giving away or adding as an add on to the puers per your request. Each has very little tea left, about 10 cups in each. Containers are not included. If you are requesting separately from the puers, I would only ask for the shipping fee.

  1. Miss Tea White Blossom - note that I’ve had it for 3 years so it might not be as fresh
  2. Green tea blend with dragon fruit from a Portuguese tea shop
  3. Oolong tea blend from a Portuguese tea shop - smells like a cake, it’s really good!
  4. Chaga tea - note that it EXPIRED 11/23. It shouldn’t matter, but request at your own risk. It should have most of the bags in it (so ~16)

(Search - Germany) Beginner looking for samples / teaware

Hello dear tea community,

Few months ago I got into Gong Fu Cha and I love every single steep of it. I already ordered some teas and joined lovely tastings. It feels like a wonderful journey with so much to discover.

I have tasted some different types of teas but it feels like the pick of the iceberg. I am also quite overwhelmed by the variety of vendors.

Therefore I am looking to buy some teas from private stashes of this community. Maybe you have some tea you forgot about or you have an abundance of. Please dm me with your suggestions.

Happy to hear from you!

[WTS][US/WW] 2020 Farmer & 2013 Love Forever

farmerleaf* grr, autocorrect

Looking to sell 4 puerh cakes.

Timestamp and photo album: https://imgur.com/a/1Oadqgq

I've realized that while I like sheng, there are plenty of other types of teas I like more so this stuff isn't getting used and it needs a new home.

It's all been stored in a sheng-specific pumidor at 72% humidity.

I bought the three farmerleaf cakes on here a few year back from this posting You can see my comments in that thread.

The 2013 love forever cake comes from liquid proust.

Price explanation and sales details: I weighed out the cakes (no papers) on two different scales, and then rounded down to the nearest 5g. I adjusted the original price based on the material left, then took 20% off, and rounded down to the nearest dollar. All sales are to be through Paypal GS for buyer/seller protection. Prices don't include shipping, but I'll only ask for your address and get you the exact (cheapest, or whatever you prefer) shipping quote. I have other confirmed trades on other reddit subs I can point you to if you would like extra confirmation.

  • Farmerleaf 2020 Huey Wa - $62 (320g)
  • Farmerleaf 2020 Lafu Gushu - $48 (255g)
  • Farmerlead 2020 Lao Wu Shan - $46 (320g)
  • 2013 Xiaguan Bamboo Tong Love Forever - $47 (350g)

ALL SOLD!

[WTS][US-NC-Wilson] Tiesta Tea - Lavender Chamomile, Soft Chamomile Herbal Tea 8oz Bulk Pouch - 200 Cups

Ordered the wrong flavor and didn't notice until it was delivered. Don't like the flavor so it would never get used and I don't think any of the food banks here would want it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A7G6S2A

Unopened, $10+S/H. Open to a trade if you have extra of another flavor as well.
