Yeah, the TJ Maxx near me has tetsubins as well. So does the Kitchen Kapers in Chestnut Hill (JG, this might be of interest to you).

Thanks for thinking of me but I already have one which has been partially retired after picking up a yixing for my puerh which makes up most of my tea intake.

Not sure how these other stores are, as far as existence, in the rest of the US, but here in Houston, TJ Maxx has competition from places like Ross, Steinmart, and Kohl's. Both places have similar "hidden sections", although the latter seems to sell higher-end things as well.

For those who don't realize, all of these stores (not entirely sure about Kohl's) mostly sell clothing that was rejected by Quality Control from major brand names. I shop at these places for my clothing/shoes/candles, actually. :P

Interesting! I didn't know that's why they sell stuff so cheap. Though I shop at Kohl's and if they also sell quality control rejects it doesn't show. I shop a lot at Kohl's.

Are there any teashops in your area or within reasonable driving distance? If so I'd say try there, otherwise like most of us you'll have to buy most of your better tea and teaware online.
