Thursday TeaDay 6/17/10 Help, teaware needed?

[Chip]

I think I need a [insert top secret TC TeawareArtisan here] TC TA SO chawan or "cup" Now there is a big hint! I am thinking I will need this in July!

Began the TD with a tasting of Houryoku from Den's ... with SweeTea, Fuji, and Shincha.

[Geekgirl]

YES! TCTASO#2 woooooo!

Oh and, um... teapot(s). I love teapots.

[Dresden]

Right now I would love a Zoji Gold...

[TubbyCow]

Other: I really need to pick up a tea scale. With all the pricey and hard to measure teas I've been picking up lately, I think I should invest in a scale.

Besides, my tax return this year was a whopping $35 - I should go nuts!

[entropyembrace]

I really want to try a gaiwan, and I´d need cups to go with it.

But tea gets priority in my budget...I can´t drink a gaiwan.

[olivierco]

No real priority. I have all I need right now.
But if I were able to go to Japan I would sure buy some items from gyokusendo

A kettle like this one


and some cannisters, for instance this one



Keemun mao feng imperial this evening.

I have choosen "other" - or does a hohin count as teapot?

Some Yellow Needle Yunnan in my pot.

Uh oh, can I change my vote to "chawan"?

Just broke open my shincha asatsuyu. Here's some shots:


(enlargeable)




1st infusion - 155* for 45s - yummmm!
Cheers.

[Chip]

Great shots, Seeker! Thanks for coloring our TD.

Absolutely! And everyone NEEDS a Houjin (spelled around 10 different ways, btw).

Earlier sipped Adagio Masters Shincha with Mrs. Chip followed by Yutaka Midori from the O-C!

[edkrueger]

The only thing I am currently looking for is a hibachi which would fit my tetsubin (plural) and have enough room in it to cheat and put an alcohol burner in it.

I would love to have a silver kettle one day. But for now I caved on one new kyusu today. And apparently I don't know it yet but come July I will be wanting a "top secret TC TeawareArtisan" cup.

In cup cup this afternoon, TGY Masters by Adagio.
Absolutely love this stuff.

My mid-day tea was the oolong-jasmine-green tea blend that I'm almost out of (and not really thinking of replacing). Currently, I have a pau d'arco tisane in my cup.
