Still on coffee this morning. Did not sleep well last night - it was obviously a night for sick animals, Teasweetie, my cat was ill. But for good news, it's finally election day here which means the really annoying phone calls can finally stop (3 today already, though.)

1 Hagi Kyusu (210ml) (Japanese Greens)
1 Tokonome Kyusu (210ml) (Chinese Greens)
1 Yixing Zisha (250ml) (Pu-Erh W/Company Over)
1 Yixing Zisha (120ml) (Pu-Erh for Personal Sessions)
1 Yixing Gaiwan (120ml) (White Teas/Travel/Testing New Teas)

5 steeps of Dan Cong with no end in sight...I have to decide now if I want a 3rd tea today.
Yikes. The pot count. This is a long story for another day. And there is a story behind this. I don't just go out and buy Teapots like a mad man. I just counted 84 pots, of which around 10 I use depending on the tea.

I have that set. The gaiwan is pretty decent, but the cups are worthless, IMO; they are way too small (less than 1oz) to be convenient. Plus, I usually like the 1 or 2oz cups, so this is saying something, heh.insanitylater wrote:ooh i want this

is this a quality set ? i don't know why anyone would need this many cups and the shipping price is nuts

Got started a bit late today. Had some Adagio #18 (thanks again xine!), then some old Shui Jin Gui I had sitting around. Good stuff!
