Friday TeaDay 1/28 TeaWare be?

[Chip]

No doubt I would be a tea pot. I selected kyusu, but would gladly serve as an yixing if that would be my fate. I want to BREW the tea. There is no other vessel so critical to the spirituality of tea than the pot, and let's face it, all these other infuser thingies are basically a variation of a tea pot in various stages of declassé.

I love how serious a tea pot looks when it is brewing tea: hot concentration with a few drops of water clinging to its sides like they know they should be inside the pot. Nothing more pleasant. What is a tea pot but a modern day alchemist's alembic?

No contest. I would be a pot.

What he said, plus as I have often said, I enjoy brewing as much as I do drinking tea. I enjoy learning all the subtle nuances of a tea as I learn to brew it, rarely leaving success to chance. But the precise nature of a kyusu is a lot like me in general.

Next best answer, and I am sure I will be the only person to say so, a digital scale, this relates to the way I approach brewing, with a degree of precision. This is also a part of my personality

Began the TD with Kumpu from Ippodo with the Mrs. Brewed in a Shigaraki kyusu ... precisely perfect ...

But now that I think of it, as the drinker of tea, we have the best possible position in the chain.

made with love
made of clay - perhaps a real special one
fired twice (wasn't ready the first time )
with a rough edge but smooth touch
with a glance and nice colours
with a chip in the head
full of tea

so guess - was difficult this time

I checked Other. Why? Because I'd like to be a TeaPet and sit on the edge of everyone's Tea Tray, enjoying the view of interesting TeaWare; the fragrance of all types of Teas; and listening to all the interest Tea chatter around me!!

Still wan to be a tea pet

Auhckw, that topic was what made me want a TeaPet. I was gonna' mention that I wanted to "pee" on the tray, but thought that might be a little much!!!!

I have had so much trouble weighing the alternatives, reviewing a few more digital photos, then going back to TC and the options above, that I clearly must be a digital scale!

Big mug...not sure why I picked it. It was the one thing on the list that grabbed my eye first.

A ceramic teapot. Not as easy to break as a glass one and enjoys a variety of things.
