- No Changes.
Updates:
- This is a long chapter - more than 50 pages on Yixing teapot design in the Ming. Our cadence seems to have dropped further, to about 1 chapter a month, with the increased length of the last few Chapters; I don't think this will remain the norm.
- Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all our readers and friends! We couldn't be more grateful for your support of Tea Technique. Our next scheduled Talk, Taste, Triage is the first Monday in January, Jan 5th 2026 at 6pm - 8pm. Join us for some celebratory first teas of the new year.
- Talk, Taste, Triage is a reoccurring small group gathering of tea practitioners where readers can ask questions, request experiments, and learn about specific types of tea. Guests are welcome to bring tea and tea wares for identification, troubleshooting, and critique.
- Subscribers are also most welcome to join us without any topics or troubleshooting in mind - there's always good tea from my collection to taste and enjoy together.
- To help us with capacity planning, we ask everyone to RSVP: if you plan to attend a Talk, Taste, Triage event, please reply to the Change Log email or text Jason. If you have special requests for tastings or experiments, please include the idea in your RSVP - this gives me a chance to select teas and plan out the best way to accomplish the ideal tasting sequence; incomplete ideas are totally OK, we can figure it out together. No need to over-plan: I can usually handle tea and ware ID without prior research or references, so don't feel bad about grabbing a last minute tea or a recently arrived ware.
- Subscribers are welcome to bring 1 guest.
- Our following Talk, Taste, Triage is Tuesday, January 20th at 6 - 8pm: a special thematic session on Tieguanyin (铁观音) from various regions and cultivars.
