Tuesday TeaDay 9/23/08 TeaCup Crave Factor.

[Chip]

A new TeaDay is upon us, so drink up and share what is in your cup today, all day.

Yesterday, more than 60% of responders indicated they were omnivores, 20% voted vegetarian. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. The teaware wars continue, but coming to an end soon on TeaDay, but not in the hearts and minds of TeaChatters. What is your personal crave factor for TeaCups? Tell us about your fave cup, if you have one.

I am craving a TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

I cannot resist the call of teacups and Oh!!! I have a LOT of
Favorite cups!! That is a tough question.
I guess my favorite cup is always my newest cup! Ha!
At least till the next one!

This is my newest cup from Artistic Nippon:

I pretty much crave anything tea related. Although I only have two patterns of teacups, I spend a lot of time looking for new ones.

Currently drinking iced Lychee scented black tea.

8 I realllly crave teacups although I haven't bought any teaware lately (70 days since the last one: a nice kinma kogo)

Houjicha with my lunch right now.

5 I guess. They're okay, but I'm happy with what I have and not looking for any more.

[Salsero]

Me and the "poodle" crave teacups in the worst way...

• but only as part of the whole tea process.

8 - Really enjoy teacups, look at cups (and pots) I want every day, there really is an endless sea of fine teaware out there, if I could only find an endless sea of money to combine it with...
-edit-
and of course Salseros nice pictures doesn't exactly remove my lust for more teaware...I gotta put in another order soon.

Gyokuro Kame-Giru-Shi today. Finished the first 50g bag today. What can I say? I'm glad I bought another bag.

[xine]

I do enjoy a good tea cup once in a while...not very much a crave-must-have feeling though.

More experiments here this morning, so i am having that.

[leiche]

I love teacups, but I don't have very many.

Assam Majulighur this morning to wake up.

[Smari]

Teacups, teacups, I really crave teacups...

Sal & Victoria - beautiful photos!

I'm at it again with the sencha fukamidori (Den's). Will probably dig into Agadio's ali shan again later today hehee...

[Maitre_Tea]

I'm a bit too busy with completing my collection of teapots to worry about teacups
Although I am really interested in those "sniffer cups," you know, the tall ones. I think that those would be optimal in detecting aromas during tasting notes

Enjoying some Da Hong Pao, because it's the only Wuyi I have left and I want to season my new teapot...

[Pentox]

I do very much enjoy teacups, but I've been buying a fair amount recently so I think my cup needs have been met for a while.

[geeber1]

I probably wouldn't crave any teacups, if it weren't for Salsero and Victoria and their lovely tea photos!

I'm especially coveting Victoria's collection of rice-grain cups. Fortunately (?) my budget doesn't allow me to buy both tea AND cups right now, so I lean more toward buying tea.

Assam Melody this morning.

[Victoria]

Thanks all! I really am stopping now, I have so many cups and so
many favorites. I have starting taking a few nicer ones to work to enjoy
since I spend a lot of time here!

Tot Darjeeling Prithvi in my cup at home this morning and it was so good,
I brought the leaves to work with me for a second brew here.

Have a nice day everyone!

I probably wouldn't crave any teacups, if it weren't for Salsero and Victoria and their lovely tea photos! .

My thoughts exactly.
I'm having a mix of Keemun and Earl Grey and a biscotti with hazelnuts which I bought at the farmers market.
