Sunday Tearoom 11/30/08 Still marroned and need teaware?

Welcome to another TeaRoom TeaDay. I hope you will share what is in your cup with us today.

Yesterday the top choices of bags if marooned on an island were Bigelow and Red Rose. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. So, you are still marooned on an island, you now have lucked out and have some tea. So, now you need teaware. You think, if I just had one of my nice cups, but that's life. So, what do you do? Empty out a couple coconuts, search for some appropriate shells, carve out some bamboo, dig up some clay and fire some teaware in the fire, carve out some volcanic rock, use "Wilson," wild boar skulls, hammer out a piece from the hull of your boat, rusty coffee can you find, the one glass bottle that could be used for a note instead, mouth brewing, or something else?

I am looking forward to sharing the TeaDay with everyone, bottoms up!

The one glass bottle that could be used for a note instead - of course!

I love my glass! Besides I doubt anyone would find my note in a bottle.

I'm all for the bamboo. It might take me awhile, but I'd smooth it down. :)

Went out for a fabulous italian dinner tonight, but I was feeling more than a little bit of overindulgence regret. A couple of pots of pu'erh fixed that up though. I had one of the "generic" mini tuochas from Serenity Art, nothing special, but not bad.

Coconut

I'd use the half coconut shell invented yesterday by Terrasi, similar to this one:

I think mouth brewing would be in order.

For immediate useage I'm use the coconuts. For long term I'd find some clay inland, get it ready for shaping and make cups.

In my cup is"nursery tea." About 4 ounces tea whth a generous serving of sugar and 8 ounces of milk.
Jeanne - I never met a tea pot I didn't like.

How long do you brainstorm these options?

My answer would be...

Mouth brewing? Sounds stupid enough to work.
