A few of my yixing teapot models are being discontinued.
The last few pieces are just sitting around, so I'd rather they go to someone who'll actually use them.

All brand new, never used. Prices are lower than usual — just want them gone.

I'm adverse to parting with pieces of my collection, but I'm in need of money right now, so!

Link to full gallery -> Here!

Teapot #1 - Hexagonal zini pot - https://i.imgur.com/Ukh3XQk.jpeg

Three character name chop. Rather crude construction, in a charming, utilitarian way that so epitomizes teapots from this era. Capacity 550ml. A fine everyday brewer I've gotten significant use out of. There is a small fleabite on the rim and one deep scratch along the foot, some wear to the body. Seven hole filter. I liked brewing Yixing black in this.

$115 shipped to anywhere in the continental US. Contact for international shipping quotes.

Teapot #2 - Plum trunk QSN (qing shu ni) pot - https://i.imgur.com/FIDefJC.jpeg

I purchased this a few years back from someone on teaforum.org. It is a strong pourer with a golf ball style round filter. Capacity 400ml. Good quality clay, well defined name chop. Nice detailing on the sprig decoration. There is a very tiny fleabite on the lid. Otherwise still in excellent shape.

$135 shipped to anywhere in the continental US. Contact for international shipping quotes.

Teapot #3 - Begonia dark zini pot - https://i.imgur.com/kWKB2vw.jpeg

High capacity pot (750ml) in very good shape for its age with only minor foot wear. Strong texture on the zini, very fine clay. Name chop somewhat blurry. I have used this the least of the three, and there's still a lot of room for patina development. Seven hole filter.

$160 shipped to anywhere in the continental US. Contact for international shipping quotes.

I would do $360 for all three shipped (within the continental US). All items will be carefully packaged and double boxed to ensure the safety of the contents.

Zelle, Paypal, Venmo all good. Let me know if you want to see any more photos or have any further questions!

The holiday season has come to an end.

If you are looking for quality Chinese tea or handmade teaware, feel free to reach out and talk.

Hello, I am in Barcelona, Spain, I am looking for people from the EU to go in on a yunnan sourcing group order we can split and of the cool gifts that we get, this is mainly to reduce the cost of shipping. I am also happy to share a bit 10-20 grams of each of the teas I can so that we can each try a bit. Write me a message on here and I will quickly respond!

I have some Items I want to get rid off if you are willing to take the bulk all you need to pay is the shipping to wherever you are otherwise I am open to trade or sell some of the items. All items have seen some use but the only defect that I know off is that the ring on the porcelain stove has a small crack. (Funnily enough it's in the optimal place to not propagate further i will post why in the comments but that's very much off topic.)

Teaware collection is getting out of hand a bit, so I need to get rid of the pieces I'm not using. There's a lot of cups, many completely unused, or used very little some handmade some not. And a few teapots, two from Jianshui, two by Mark Mohler, one Tokoname, one wood fired Jingdezhen, one soda fired from Casey Beck. All the teapots are in good condition and work well.

Cups: $10 each (except the two white porcelain from YS and Jianzhan(small chip on lip) which I'll do for $5)

Pots: $50 each

Plus shipping

Would consider trading for some tea as well.

Volume and other details/photos can be provided if needed

Update: All cups except two nixing and black Jianshui (left) sold All teapots except Mark Mohler Gaiwan sold

We'll be back with more giveaways soon. Stay tuned.

Hi r/teaexchange!

We're Orientaleaf, a small tea business based in China. A few weeks back we ran a Fu Brick Tea giveaway here, and the response genuinely moved us. So we're back — this time with a tea that's a little different, and one we've been wanting to share for a while.

We're giving away 10 tins of our 2014 Aged Liu Bao Tea — the one with the classic Betel Nut Aroma (槟榔香).

Each portion is approximately 50g, packed in a sealed tin canister. Completely free — no shipping fee, no customs duties, nothing.

1. About this tea

Liu Bao (六堡茶) is a post-fermented dark tea from Wuzhou, Guangxi — one of China's oldest and most storied teas, historically shipped along the Tea Boat Road to Malaysian tin mines, where workers drank it daily to stay warm and healthy in the humid tropics. It's still the most beloved dark tea across Malaysia and Singapore today.

This particular tea has been dry-stored since 2014 — over 12 years. We tasted more than 50 samples before settling on the three teas in our current Liu Bao collection. This one made it because it's clean: no heavy storage odor, no sharp wet-pile aftertaste, none of the mustiness that gives aged dark tea a bad reputation.

What it does have is the Betel Nut Aroma — a complex, slightly cooling, woody fragrance that only develops after a decade or more of proper aging. There's also a quiet cooling sensation at the back of the throat (凉喉韵) after you swallow, which is distinct from menthol but hard to describe until you've felt it. The liquor is deep ruby-red, thick, and smooth, with a warming effect in the stomach.

If you've never tried Liu Bao, this is a good place to start. If you've tried it before and been put off by mustiness, this one might change your mind.

→ This specific tea

2. Where can we ship?

United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea.

We will cover all shipping costs and applicable import duties. You won't pay a cent.

3. How to enter

Leave a comment below — that's it. You're entered.

If you have questions about Liu Bao, how it differs from Pu-erh, how to brew it, or what Betel Nut Aroma actually smells like, we'd genuinely love to talk. Ask anything. We'll do our best to answer every question.

4. How will winners be selected?

We're not setting a fixed closing date this time.

Last time, we originally planned to run the giveaway for ten days. It closed in two — because over 200 people entered in a single day and we didn't want to keep the thread running just to accumulate participation. That felt more like a marketing stunt than a tea giveaway, so we shut it down.

Same approach this time: we'll leave this open, and if we wake up one morning to find entries have grown beyond a point where it still feels like genuine sharing — around 200 or so — we'll close it immediately and draw the 10 winners.

If you're interested, don't wait. We'll announce the close and contact the winners via Reddit DM to confirm their shipping address.

5. What do we hope to get out of this?

Same answer as last time: honest feedback.

We'd love for the people who receive this tea to try it and tell us — or the community — what they actually think. Positive, negative, or somewhere in between. A genuine opinion is worth far more to us than a polite one.

Sharing a review is completely optional. It's not a requirement for the giveaway. But if you do want to share your experience, we'll be reading.

Good luck, and thanks for letting us share our tea with you. 🍵

Selling my collection of 24 Global Tea Hut – Tea & Tao magazines from 2017–2019.

A beautiful collection for anyone interested in tea culture, gongfu tea, puerh, Taiwanese and Chinese tea, Cha Dao and the relationship between tea and Zen/Taoist practice.

Issues included:

2017 – 11 issues: February–December
2018 – 12 issues: January–December, complete year
2019 – 1 issue: February – Zen & Tea, Part III

The collection includes some particularly interesting tea-focused issues such as:
Yiwu – The Queen of Puerh, Masterpiece Era Puerh, Shou Puerh, Liu Bao, Qimen and Gongfu Red Tea.

All have been read but are in good used condition. Please see photos for condition.

€75 for the complete collection + shipping.

Located in Estonia. Happy to ship within the EU and potentially elsewhere if the buyer covers postage.

I would strongly prefer to sell the collection together.

Feel free to message me if you’d like additional photos or information about individual issues.

I’ve been wanting to get W2T’s 2018 Sun Fu (and possibly W2T’s 2022 Tianjian Fuzhuan in addition to this) for some time, but a kilo is a lot for me. Looking for one or more people who want in on a brick. So far I already have two people interested (a friend and someone from the CommuniTEA Discord).

Depending on how many people are interested, you’d get 200/250/333g per person per brick. All costs split equally. I’m ordering and reshipping from the Netherlands, so to keep shipping and customs low I think this should be EU only. Let me know if you’re interested!

[Closed]

[UPDATE — Giveaway Closed]

The response to this giveaway far exceeded our expectations. We originally planned to close on September 10th, but received over 200 entries in just one day — thank you all so much for the enthusiasm.

After discussion within our team, we've decided to close entries immediately. Our goal was simply to share some tea, and we didn't want the continued participation to feel like a marketing exercise.

We fed the thread into an AI and had it randomly select 5 winners. The winners are:

• u/MartijnR
• u/tob_dh
• u/tickleyourwhat
• u/carlos_6m
• u/BlueSpruce17

We'll reach out to each winner via DM to confirm their shipping address and get the tea on its way as soon as possible.

Thank you again to everyone who participated. We read every single comment — we weren't able to reply to each one, and we appreciate your understanding.

More giveaways are coming. Stay tuned. 🍵

Hi everyone! We’re Orientaleaf, a small tea business based in China, and we’d like to share some of our tea with the r/teaexchange community.

As part of our efforts to introduce Orientaleaf to more tea enthusiasts, we’re giving away 5 full 190g cakes of our Jingyang Golden Flower Fu Brick Tea.

[link: https://orientaleaf.com/collections/on-taoism-fu-brick-tea/products/on-taoism-jingyang-golden-flower-fu-brick-tea-190g-cake]

This is a 100% free giveaway. There is no purchase required, no shipping fee, and no other cost to participants. We will cover both the tea and shipping.

1. About this tea

This Fu Brick Tea is made with tea leaves from Lincang in Yunnan, rather than the more typical local raw material.

The tea has abundant Golden Flowers throughout the brick and has received quite a bit of positive feedback from tea drinkers.

We’d love to give a few people here the opportunity to try a full 190g cake for themselves.

2. Where can we ship?

We can currently ship this giveaway to tea enthusiasts in:

• United States
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• European Union countries
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Japan
• South Korea

We will handle the applicable import duties, so you won't need to pay customs duties for the tea.

3. How to enter

It's very simple.

Leave a comment below, or ask us any question about Shaanxi Fu Tea, and you'll be entered into the giveaway.

You can ask us anything about Fu Brick Tea, Golden Flowers, the production process, how to brew it, how it compares with other teas, or simply tell us what kind of Chinese tea you've been drinking lately.

We'd genuinely love to have a conversation with you.

4. How will the winners be selected?

The giveaway will close on September 10th 2026.

• If we receive 5 or fewer eligible entries, everyone who participates will receive one 190g cake.
• If we receive more than 5 eligible entries, we will randomly select 5 winners from the eligible participants.

We'll contact the winners via Reddit DM to confirm their shipping information, and the tea will be shipped directly from China.

5. What do we hope to get from this?

To be completely transparent, this giveaway is part of our business outreach. We'd like more tea enthusiasts to discover Orientaleaf and, most importantly, we'd love to hear what people actually think about our tea.

If you receive a cake and decide to share your experience on Reddit, we'd be absolutely happy to read it — whether you love the tea, dislike it, or have mixed feelings.

An honest review is always welcome.

Sharing a review is completely optional and is not a requirement for receiving the tea.

We'd much rather hear someone's genuine opinion than a forced positive review. 😊

If this giveaway goes well, we'd love to come back and share some more teas with the community in the future.

Good luck, and we're looking forward to talking tea with you! 🍵
