Tuesday TeaDay 3/8/11 Amassed TEAS or TeaCups?

[IPT]

I honestly have no idea which I have more of. I stopped counting years ago. If I had to guess, I'd probably say tea, but I'm not positive.


TOCD for life!

Hands down, tea. I don't buy a lot of teacups, but I loooooove buying tea. It's like setting a kid loose in a proverbial candy store.

Rose congou all afternoon; currently sipping some nummy genmaicha.

As if to prove my earlier point, while I've been thinking about ordering tea lately, I just put in a (provisional) order for two new yunomi with Aristic Nippon. I felt I had to after waking up early for a Deishi auction, only to flop back in bed disappointed and hagi-less ten minutes later.

I love tea, and I love to frame my tea in pretty things.

I would choose teas.
...
I like trying different kinds and brands of tea here.
though somewhat difficult to get foreign brands of tea so I always buy local tea wherever I go.
my mother who prefers a teapot & cup collection, even sometimes I'm angry because the scattered everywhere, even in the garage, bathroom etc..
Who knows one day I got a friend in this forum and exchange of local tea.

What did you bid on, and what did you order???

Great TD beginning with Kaboku asamushi from Ippodo with the Mrs. followed by Musashi from O-Cha.

Last up, Bigelow Green tea bag at my parents, it had "flavor."

I wanted to bid on this Deishi yunomi set.

Instead I ordered these Kashun yunomi.

Not too bad of a turn out.

I was seriously looking at the pair of Deishi. Though production pieces, they were very nice, very different, and very drippy.

Nice alternates, Kashun "rocks" heh.

I think the people on this forum know I belong to the T.A.D (Teaware Acquisition Disorder) category. Not to mention the fact that as I have switched to more Green teas, I have substantially cut down on the stock pile of teas I have.

Great choice! I have seen those (Kashun) and lusted after them many times.

Hands down tea! I had more tea this last year than I could drink with yancha alone and now with spring right around the corner I will have more greens to drink along with the remaining yancha. I'm not complaining though

tie luo han in my cup today.
