I normally think those water fountains are really tacky, but I saw one recently that looked like a Japanese brazier/kama as used in tea ceremony. Pretty cool, but the price wasn't.

I don't own a fountain and have no plans of getting one yet. Given how much my cat likes going after water from the bathroom sink faucet, I don't think a fountain would last too long in my house. My current entertainment while drinking tea is my Himalayan salt block candle holder. When I light a candle inside it, it looks like a pretty pink glowing rock.

In my cup is more chestnut tea as I ponder what I want to order from TeaSource now that my father has requested more of the Earl Grey White Tip, which gives me the perfect excuse to reorder the Glendale Nilgiris.

I have on packed away, not enough room in my current apartment. It was nice, and relaxing but most definately a pain to clean.
Enjoying my first cup of Tropical Green from Tea Guys. Yummy!

I really like the Glenburn Wiry Vintage Darjeeling.
One of my faves.

Counts if you're in there drinking tea when it flushes.

No fountain here but I do pine for one. For now I'll have to settle for the sounds ofmy fish tank filters. When I'm at my boyfriend's house our cat has a fairly large drinkwell fountain if that counts :P
