currently ive been using my families saucepan pot thing for boiling water and brewing teas. its made of who knows what, its probably some 'non stick' material which is probably less than ideal.
im looking for a good material to brew tea in. Anybody have experience with yixing pots? Ive been looking at yixing, glass, or ceramic. which do you think would be best?

Thank you, i checked out the YiXing website. Those look nice!! One of those would be nice to have. Im trying now to find a glass kettle to boil the water in. I guess im anxious so i went to teavana at the mall tonight (dont know if they have those stores where you are) but unfortunately they didnt have glass kettles that are able to be put directly on the stove. Found some online though.
Not to divert the subject, but which kinds of tea does everyone drink? This is something I've always wanted to start a forum about but figured I would get shot down by those who look down upon tea as I did in a previous forum, so I've kept to myself... I figure this is a safe place though and would welcome any information as to what others enjoy and would recommend. :)
Ok I can't resist, I just heard this TEA joke and I can't stop laughing at it!
One day a duck walked into a bar.
He looked up at the bartender and said "Got any tea?"
The bartender looked at the duck and growled "NO! This a bar, I don't serve tea and I don't serve ducks...now get lost!" With that the duck left.
On the next day in the same bar the same duck walked in. He looked up at the bartender and said "Got any tea?"
Again the bartender yelled "NO! I thought I told you I don't serve tea..now scram you dumb duck!" So the duck waddled off.
On the day after that the same duck walked into the same bar. He looked up at the bartender but before he could speak the bartender yelled "Look duck, I don't got any tea, and if you ask me again I'll staple your feet to the floor. Now go away!" So the duck left.
The following day the same duck walked into the same bar. He looked up at the bartender and said "Got any staples?"
The bartender replied in disgust "No, I don't got any staples..."
To which the duck replied "Good, I'm glad to hear that. Got any TEA?"

I pretty much love all tea! green, white, black is all good. Lately ive been drinking green jasmine which has been really good. I love yerba mate. love experimenting with herbs. Im doin a detox thing now so ive been making dandelion, burdock, milk thistle tea. also just starting making reishi mushroom tea!
Though i have yet to order from them (im sure i will soon) Mountainroseherbs.com also seems like a great place for herbs/teas.
i use enameled cast iron for brewing medicinal teas (bit of a pain) and a regular beehouse pot for jasmine green tea or happy herbals, as well as various in-cup strainers.
Is it possible to put that pretty glass kettle straight on a gas burner?

Hi family.
I've been eating 100% raw for the past 40 days. Before that, I was about 70% raw for a few years, and I struggled with bulimia (purging the cooked food that I ate).
No purging, no cooked food for 40 days. My cheeks are slightly puffy ...
im confused. matt monarch swears by regular colonic hydrotherapy. its his no.1 raw tip, didn't think it could be dangerous but now it kind of makes sense. enemas seem much more natural in comparison.
I've heard great, great things about Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, CA. I know that isn't really in the Los Angeles area, but it's still in CA and I believe they provide students the option to stay in their 'Living Light Inn'....
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.
