My faircup has a crack in it. What should I do?!
I'm taking suggestions!

Rejection of gongfu for the pious life of sencha...oh did that crack me up!
Speaking of cracks...if the crack isn't leaking, there's no real rush to replace the piece. One of my favorite cups has had an unsightly crack down the side for months...but it still holds, so I haven't stressed too much about replacement. But I guess you could use it as an excuse for buying something better.

I actually use my faircup as a samashi/yuzamashi for when I brew sencha. Not sure how that fits in, but I thought I'd talk about myself for a bit– it is my favorite subject, after all.

The crack holds. But it's an inexpensive one any way.
It's one of the clear glass faircups from YSllc. Like this one

And so it's more an excuse to get a new one!
I just can't decide whether to get a direct replacement, use my super huge improvised samashi/yuzamashi (a ceramic creamer vessel which is well suited for the task but MUCH better suited to the volume of liquid when brewing Japanese greens), or whether I should save a bit and go for a themed set.
... or what xD

my advice is use the money to buy tea as long as you have containers that do the job. it is however advice I wouldn't follow, as justifying new teaware purchases is a full time hobby for me.

I say those clear glass faircups are by far the best. I have a couple of others that dribble terribly and are not worth the space they take up. They are pretty, but they don't do the job. Maybe I should use those as a slapdashi/yodamashi like our favorite subject to talk about (when he's not around anyway).
