My kyusu and yixing are plain clay. My gaiwan has a fish motif and all my cups are all plain. I guess that makes me mostly plain with a flash of motif.

Chiran Supreme this morning, Gyokuru Kin this afternoon, and green Kukicha this evening. Ah, tea!

Thank you, Victoria!
Actually I used to post here a little under a different name but then I came up with this one which I think reflects my taste better (yes, you are right, I love oolongs ;)). Since TeaChat doesn't support username changing, I had to re-register and lost all my posts.

:D Actually, you could have simply contacted a moderator for assistance with a name change. Who were you before? If you are still interested, PM me.

Karigane this evening. Mugi/genmai/and a new addition, pan-fired buckwheat currently in my cup.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I like my teaware to be plain white. It goes with everything and I can see the color of the tea better.

Which does not mean that I don't still covet that gorgeous little blue floral cup/saucer set from the English teaware competition... :D
Although my neighbors are all barbarians,
And you, you are a thousand miles away,
There are always two cups on my table.
