I have one cup that stays at an office where I work a few days a month. On those days, I use it constantly, other days, it sits in a locker awaiting my return. Otherwise, there are a few cups that get little use because they're quite large, or so small that I only use them for comparative tastings. The in-between sizes--3 to 8 oz--get the most use.

Today, I worked at the satellite office and have been enjoying some Yunnan Mao Feng green tea from my 'Snowdrifts' Hagi.

This evening I'm working on some heavily charcoal roasted Taiwanese TGY from Norbu from the thermos cup. Despite a nice collection of cups now, I still find myself at times without a nice teacup to drink from.

I don't have so many right now, so usage is at 100%.
Let me recall today...

ah yes; coffee, then kagoshima sencha, followed by feng huang dancong from 07.

Right now I'd say 10% because I haven't been home much at an hour when tea would be a good thing (getting home about 11:30pm about half the week), so the only one that really gets a workout is the one I keep at work, which gets used nearly every day. And a couple at home for when I have made tea. Hopefully once this show's over tea consumption will go back to normal.

No tea today. Sad day. Maybe tomorrow.

It's ok, was just having an off day and didn't feel like drinking the semi-decent bags i have as a last resort in my desk.

Nice pictures!

I'm estimateing that only about 10% of my teacups are regularly used. My teaware is split between Chillicothe and Columbus so when I'm at my apartment in Columbus I only use a few cups. My hagi are in Chilli so they don't get broken at the apartment. I wish I could bring them up here but I just know someone will break them.

tie luo han in my cup this morning
