I know, I feel lost without it. I know by eye how much leaf/water to use in each of my teapots to fill that mug, too!
That's another lovely cup, Geek! Do you have a special "teaware room" in your house?

I know exactly what you mean by
this. And when this is suddenly lost, my personal rhythm in brewing is lost.
I think you NEED a HAGI to help heal your loss.

Ha! I wish! No, most of my teaware is displayed in my little home office/den. The cups, pots and bowls jockey for shelf space with books, cameras and poppets. It's cozy in here.

Japanese for me today. My favorite Tokoname pot and a Deishi Hagi cup.
Of course my tea, that's another story. Shockingly I admit to cross brewing.
2009 Spring DaYuLing in my cup currently.
Geek - Nice shot of the blue Hagi, you captured the
essence of the flowing glaze.

I had my first decent tea of the day when I arrived home at 11pm tonight, Ippodo Hosen in my Deishi Biwa.

Posting is a little behind, thanks to working all weekend
Saturday and Sunday were dominated my my trusty Chinese Tea Thermos and an everyday green.

The nights though, were dominated by pu. Specifically 2008 Menghai V93 Premium Ripe Pu-erh. I love it. (Thanks for the great review Sal which pointed me their way!)
To brew I used my trusty (and recently chipped
) gaiwan.
