Re: Teaware for work

This is my teaware I use at work. I work in an office here in Guilin and told my boss I'd only work there if he permitted me to bring my tea ware with me. Since I started working there, 3 different people have bought tea trays and many that haven't bought one have started drinking tea regularly by using cups with filters in them. I've started a trend.

Today at work, I used my kamjove tea infuser to brew up a thermos full of really delightful Yi Wu bamboo-aged sheng puerh, and at my long afternoon meeting, I had five people asking to share some of it. I think I'm having a good influence! I don't like the aesthetics of the kamjove, but the office is a tricky environment that is not kind to glass pots.

I'd really prefer a prettily shaped teapot with a built in strainer, made from a nice clear and indestructible Lexan, that will survive the inevitable encounters with metal furniture and very hard floors. Anyone have access to one of those nice computer design systems that can use a 'printer' to create anything you can design by CAD?

(unfortunately this is the 3rd glass teapot to die in the line of duty in my office, and was replaced by a plastic kamjove infuser)

Wow, your work tea-settings are way better than my "official" home one :shock: :D

For now my teaware for work is a mug with an infuser... upgrading to a glass gaiwan soon.

By the way, IPT your tea tray is great, where did you get it? I have been looking online for a dark wooden tea tray without characters like "fu" or so for one month without success... :(

I got it from the manufacturer. I own two tea shops here in Guilin. Nice small ones are very hard to find.
